Villagers Fight Back

by WiggyWurx

Villagers Fight Back makes villagers turn hostile and attack players who try to steal their emeralds.

ForgeServer-side onlyAll rights reserved1.20.1

What it does

When a player takes emeralds from a villager or interacts with it in a way the mod treats as theft, the villager retaliates and fights back. The behavior is built on Geckolib, which must be installed alongside it on Forge for 1.20.1. Players join without it, since only the server has to run the mod. The project is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.

Key features

  1. Retaliating villagers

    Villagers attack players who try to steal emeralds from them instead of letting the theft go unanswered.

  2. Hit or right-click to provoke

    Either hitting a villager or right-clicking it can trigger the attack, depending on how the player interacts with it.

  3. More villager types planned

    The author plans to add more villager types later, extending the fights to other kinds of villagers.

What the author says

This mod will make villagers attack you if you try stealing their emeralds! Either hitting then or right clicking them they will attack! I might add more types of villagers soon, but have fun dealing with angry villagers!
