Villager Linker

by atalbiie

Villager Linker lets players connect villagers to their beds and workstations by hand, using a stick and glowing highlights.

FabricClient and serverCreative Commons Attribution No Derivatives 4.026.1.2 – 26.3

What it does

A player holds a stick and right-clicks a villager, then a bed or workstation, to link them. Linked workstations are locked on the server, so a villager does not randomly lose its profession or claim another workstation. Crouching while right-clicking with a stick opens a Villager Linker screen that lists active connections and their coordinates. A single click in that screen frees up occupied beds and workstations, and unlinking is instant.

The highlight style is set per player in the settings: a path beam between villager and block, a particle wireframe cage around the block, or both at once. Whether crouching is required before linking can also be toggled. The settings open from a button in the main screen of the ModMenu window. Fabric API is required, and the mod runs on client and server together, with files published for Fabric only across 26.1.2, 26.2 and 26.3, under a Creative Commons Attribution No Derivatives 4.0 license that is not open source.

Key features

  1. Manual villager linking

    Villagers can be linked to beds and workstations by hand, which suits trading halls, iron farms and custom villages.

  2. Instant unlinking

    A stick action in the Villager Linker screen frees a bed or workstation with one click.

  3. Three highlight styles

    HIGHLIGHT draws a particle wireframe cage, PATH draws a beam, and BOTH shows the beam and cage together.

  4. Crouch requirement

    A setting decides whether crouching is required before linking, which helps prevent accidental clicks while holding a stick.
