Villager Heal Villager

by Nat's Projects

Villager Heal Villager lets nearby villagers restore each other's health, so a village can recover from damage without players stepping in.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalCreative Commons Attribution 4.01.21.9 – 26.3

What it does

Villagers near other villagers regenerate health. A healthy villager heals a nearby one by 1 health point, half a heart, at a time, and the healing effect applies automatically about every 3 seconds. The effect targets villagers that are close to each other, so the behavior spreads through a settlement without any command or setup.

The mod is a data pack, released for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and is shipped as a zip file. Installing it means dropping the file into the world's datapacks folder and reloading the world. The server needs it; clients may add it, and players can join without installing anything.

Files cover 1.21.9 – 26.3 across 8 release versions, with snapshot builds published alongside them. The latest file, 1.7.3+mod for 26.3, was released on 2026-10-13, and it is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license, so the project is not open source.

Key features

  1. Automatic villager healing

    Villagers restore health to nearby villagers at regular intervals, with no action from players.

  2. Half-heart steps

    Each healing tick restores 1 health point, which is half a heart, so recovery is gradual and visible.

  3. Proximity-based effect

    Only villagers close to one another share the healing, which keeps the effect tied to each settlement.

  4. Data pack installation

    The mod is installed by placing a zip file in the world's datapacks folder and reloading the world.
