The Villager Grinder Mod
by nagoy777
The Villager Grinder Mod lets players feed villagers into a grinder block that turns them into meat-based food items on Forge for 1.16.5.
What it does
A grinder accepts only villagers. Other mobs placed in it are rejected, and a villager standing on the block above the grinder can be sent down into it. The grinder holds a limited number of villagers at once, and the amount of food it produces depends on how many are inside. Once a villager is inside, it cannot be added again.
The mod adds several cooked dishes made from the processed meat, including a villager meat stick, villager meatballs in a bowl, processed villager meat and villager meat ice cream, each with its own crafting recipe. Green sand and grains are listed among the items that go with the grinder setup.
The mod is made with MCreator and is published for Forge only, with a single game version, 1.16.5, and the v1.0 file dated 2025-01-05. Installation covers the server and each player's game. The author plans to keep the mod on 1.16.5 for the foreseeable future and has made a Fabric version of it. The code is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.

Do your villagers insult you with hideous trades? Do they look at you smugly while demanding absurd prices??
