Villages&Pillages
by faboslav
Players who explore generated worlds meet Villages&Pillages, a structure mod that adds hostile pillages beside the peaceful villages.
What it does
Villages&Pillages places hostile and unfriendly pillages into generated worlds, giving a contrast to the ordinary villages. The first seasonal update adds Witch Villages, which appear deep inside swamps and mangrove biomes. Their mossy houses and bubbling cauldrons sit among bogs that have to be crossed to reach them.
The mod is built to work alongside other world generation mods. Fabric API is required, and the mod runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything. Builds are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 23 release versions, 1.19.2 – 26.3, under a custom license that is not open source.
