Villagers Regen
by Caesius_Leo
Villagers Regen gives villagers slow natural health regeneration, so damage they pick up from falls, zombies, raids and other combat recovers over time.
What it does
The mod is a Fabric server-side mod for villagers. Villagers tend to accumulate damage over time because their pathfinding often walks them into falls and hazards. Villagers Regen counters this with a slow regeneration rate, set at about half a heart every 10 seconds, so a villager that is hurt by accident slowly heals instead of staying weakened.
The mod does not make villagers invincible and does not change combat. Zombie attacks, raids and other threats still deal their usual damage, and players still need to keep villagers safe from real dangers. Only the slow recovery of existing damage is added, which lets villagers roam a village without constant supervision.
Installation needs Fabric. Server owners install it, and players connect with no copy of their own. Villagers Regen is published for Fabric across 21 release versions and is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Slow natural regeneration
Villagers recover lost health gradually, at a rate of about half a heart every 10 seconds.
Recovery from accidental damage
Healing targets damage from falls and bad pathfinding, the most common sources of accumulated harm.
Combat damage unchanged
Zombies, raids and other combat damage are not reduced, so villagers remain vulnerable to real threats.
Freely roaming villagers
Villagers can wander a base or village without being caged, since lost health is restored slowly on its own.
