Villager Age Tweak
by ShacharTs
Villager Age Tweak lets players change how fast baby villagers grow into adults, along with the cooldown that governs growth.
What it does
A baby villager normally takes a fixed time to mature, and the mod exposes that growth timer as a setting. Players and server owners can shorten or lengthen the cooldown, which gives control over how quickly a village's population turns from children into working adults. The change applies through commands, so it can be adjusted without editing files.
The adjustment suits farms that depend on villager output, breeding setups that need a steady supply of adults, and modded worlds where villager timing feeds into automation. Players who only want a small change to the vanilla experience can leave the value near its default. The mod is published for NeoForge on 1.21.1 and needs to run on both the client and the server, so every player and the server need it. The code is released under the MIT License.
Key features
Adjustable growth cooldown
The time a baby villager waits before maturing can be changed, so growth speed becomes a tunable value rather than a fixed one.
Command-based control
Commands set and check the growth values, so a server owner can change them in play without restarting the world.
Passive mob data access
The mod reads and writes villager growth data, giving commands a direct handle on the entities it affects.
Breeding and farm tuning
Shorter or longer growth times let farm builders match villager population to the rate of trades or breeding they need.
