Villagers Speech Bubbles
by arcanealloy
Villagers Speech Bubbles shows short speech bubble texts above villagers, so a player can read what a villager says from a distance.
What it does
Speech bubble texts appear above villagers in the world. The texts are set through the villager config files, which sit in the config\villager bubbles folder, so the wording and behavior can be adjusted without editing code. The mod runs on both the client and the server, meaning the server and every player need it installed for the bubbles to show.
The mod is published for Forge only, across three game versions: 1.19.2, 1.19.3 and 1.19.4. The most recent file is 1.0 for 1.19.4, released on 2023-12-21. It is compatible with the Guard Villagers mod, so villagers that guard can keep their bubbles. The code is not open source, and the mod is released as All rights reserved.
