Kingdoms: Villager Retaliation!
by jvn
Kingdoms: Villager Retaliation changes how villagers react when players attack, steal from or mistreat them, and adds a hiring and economy system around them.
What it does
Villagers in this NeoForge mod have personal moods, skills and relationships, and they keep their normal routines of gossiping, working and going about their day. Players can build relationships with villagers by helping around the village and avoiding attacks or theft, since witnesses remember what happens. Hired adult villagers can manage work areas, routes, equipment, storage and filters, and their skills improve over time with more work.
The mod adds a party system: players recruit villagers to follow, stay, regroup, stand guard or gather drops, and party members can ride horses, donkeys, mules, llamas and camels. Villagers keep wallets for wages and trade income, while Payment Boxes and Sell Boxes let players fund contracts and trade goods at changing daily prices. Couriers move supplies between assigned containers, so hoppers are not required.
Kingdoms: Villager Retaliation requires oωo (owo-lib) and toucanLib. Second Wind! is an optional dependency. The server and every player need the mod installed. It is published for NeoForge 1.21.1 only, is released under All rights reserved, and is not open source.
Key features
Villager reactions
Villagers respond to attacks and theft, and nearby witnesses report what they see to the rest of the village.
Hiring and work areas
Adult villagers can be hired with a Clipboard to run work areas, routes, equipment and storage filters, with wages paid from their own wallets.
Party and combat modes
Recruited villagers join the player's party with inventory control and quick commands, and can be sent into controlled combat against eligible villagers.
Economy boxes and couriers
Payment Boxes fund renewable worker contracts, Sell Boxes turn goods into currency, and Couriers move supplies between containers.
