Villager quest
Villager quest lets players hand building tasks to villagers, who post a quest and check the finished structure against the requirements.
What it does
A villager offers a quest once it has one available, shown by an exclamation mark above its head. Right-clicking the villager opens a quest GUI with the details. Accepting the quest brings up custom markings on the ground, and the particles at each corner outline the zone where the building has to go.
The quest asks the player to build a house with a workspace, often a bed workspace block placed inside the building. A check then confirms the structure is enclosed, with no gaps in the walls, floor or roof, and that the bed workspace block sits inside. A structure that fails the check fails the quest. The mod is meant for players who want guidance on construction, and it can give a survival world fresh building goals.
The mod runs on the Forge loader for Minecraft 1.20.1 only, and it works on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. The latest Forge file is 0.1.7 for 1.20.1, published 2026-07-05 on the alpha channel.
