Villager Enhanced
by TheMrPuffin
Villager Enhanced replaces the trade window with conversations, so players talk to villagers and build opinions that shape how each one treats them.
What it does
Right-clicking a villager opens a conversation instead of a shop window, and trading remains available as the only thing a villager is for. Villagers now hold opinions of the player and of one another. Villager names depend on the biome, so a desert settlement gets names unlike those in a taiga, and every villager inside one village carries the same name. Stock phrases differ as well, and a villager will not reveal its profession until it is asked for a reason. A villager forms a personal view that is shown through where it stands rather than a number. Opinions run from Reviled, Disliked, Stranger and Acquaintance to Trusted and Honoured, and regular trading warms a villager up.
Gifts go into a villager's inventory instead of disappearing, and villagers live off the food they carry, eat, plant and pass on to neighbours who want it. Opinions also spread through the village: villagers gossip, one forms an opinion and passes it on when others meet, and a villager may judge a player on what it heard before meeting them. Hurting someone or dealing fairly with a farmer reaches the whole village quickly. A zombie villager that is cured is remembered by the village, and strangers stay anonymous until they earn a name. The mod is open source and released under the MIT License. Installation covers the server and each player's game.
Key features
Conversations instead of shops
Right-clicking a villager starts a conversation, while trading stays available as the villager's main function.
Regional and village names
Villager names change with the region, and villagers in the same village share one name.
Opinion levels
Each villager tracks a view of the player that runs from Reviled to Honoured and is shown through posture.
Gifts and food
Items given to a villager go into its inventory, and villagers eat, plant and share food with their neighbours.
Village gossip
Opinions spread between villagers when they meet, so actions reach the whole village.

What the author says
Minecraft's villagers are vending machines that happen to have legs. This mod makes them people. Right-click a villager and you get a conversation instead of a shop window. Trading is still right there — it is just no longer the only thing a villager is for.
