Villager Follow You
by Zerw
Villager Follow lets a player tame a villager with five emeralds, after which the villager trails the player wherever they go.
What it does
Sneaking and right-clicking a villager while holding five emeralds makes that villager the player's own. A green name tag then shows the owner's name above it, and cool particle effects appear when the taming happens. A second sneak and right-click tells the villager to follow, or to stay where it is. Once tamed, the villager walks behind its owner through the world, so bringing villagers along to a new base or keeping them from wandering away no longer takes manual work.
The mod is a Forge addition for Minecraft 1.21.6 – 1.21.10, with five release versions covered. Only the client needs it, so players install it and servers can run without it. The code is under the MIT License, but the project is not open source.
Key features
Taming with emeralds
Sneaking and right-clicking a villager while holding five emeralds makes it the player's own.
Follow and stay commands
A second sneak and right-click switches the tamed villager between following its owner and staying in place.
Owner name tag
A tamed villager shows a green name tag with its owner's name, so ownership is visible from a distance.
Taming particles
Particle effects play when a villager is tamed, marking the moment it becomes a companion that trails its owner.

Use cases
Moving villagers to a new base
Tamed villagers keep close to their owner, so relocating a trading hall or a farm group takes less effort.
Keeping villagers near
Villagers that would otherwise wander away stay with the player who tamed them.
Who it’s for: Players who want villagers to behave like pets, and players who relocate villager trades or farms between bases, will find the mod's taming and follow behaviour useful.
