Villages Denomination
by RagnarDragus
Villages Denomination gives each village in a loaded world a generated name, which players see as a title when they enter one.
What it does
Village names are generated automatically for villages that load in the world, and they can instead be picked at random from a configured list. When a player enters a village, the name appears as a title on screen, showing the main name and its complement. Traveler's Titles and Waystones are optional dependencies: activating a waystone in a village can rename it to the village name.
Server owners control the names through config values. The village name color and the complement can be changed, or removed so that only the main name shows. A custom list of village names can be set, and a blacklist keeps chosen structures from receiving generated names. Some commands require operator permissions.
The server and every player need the mod installed. It is published for Forge 1.20.1 only, with the file 1.20.1-1.0.0 released 2025-03-12. The license is a custom license, so the mod is not open source; the source code and issue tracker are public, and the author asks that the project be credited if it is used.
