Village Bounties
by Parzival000
Village Bounties turns villages into quest stops, with bounty boards that offer kill and delivery jobs tied to the biome around each village.
What it does
Bounty boards are structures that generate in villages and sit alongside the existing village buildings without replacing them. A player finds a board, takes a job, hunts the named mobs or gathers the requested items, returns to the board and collects a reward. Each player tracks their own active bounties, so several people on one server do not share progress. The mod is aimed at survival, exploration and vanilla-plus worlds, and it is built to run both alone and inside larger modpacks, including adventure and RPG packs.
The latest update adds support for Minecraft 1.21.11 and includes the 26.2 build in its file list. It also brings reward items that can be set per tier, a reward multiplier that scales payouts for different modpacks, a cleaned-up in-game config screen, better bounty-board placement in mixed-biome villages, and a wider interaction range of eight blocks. Village Bounties is published for NeoForge only, with files for 1.21.1, 1.21.4, 1.21.8, 1.21.11 and 26.2, and is licensed under the MIT License, not as open source.
Key features
Village bounty boards
Boards are placed inside villages, so players pick up local tasks as they explore the world.
Kill and delivery bounties
Kill bounties target vanilla mobs, while delivery bounties ask for items that can be obtained in the game.
Difficulty tiers
Boards offer bounties in four tiers, each with its own target amounts and rewards.
Compact HUD tracking
A configurable HUD shows active bounty progress, so players can follow a job without a separate item book.
