Villages ReImagined
by Kootryne
Villages ReImagined adds planned cities to plains and meadow biomes, placed alongside the normal villages that already generate there.
What it does
Cities generate naturally in plains and meadow biomes, with detailed buildings joined by connected roads. Classic villages still appear in these biomes, so a world holds both the old small settlements and the new towns. Six distinct house designs range from small cozy homes to larger, more stylish builds, and each town includes a store and a school structure, so exploring one feels different from a plain village.
The mod suits builders who want a base to expand into a custom city, roleplayers who need a setting, and adventurers who travel between towns. It is a server-side mod: only the server needs it, and players join without installing anything. It targets NeoForge only, with 6 release versions. The latest file is 1.0.0 for 1.21.9, published 2025-10-05 on the alpha channel. The code is covered by the MIT License but is not open source, and the author states that the mod integrates with other world generation mods.
Key features
Procedural cities
Full towns spawn in plains and meadow biomes, each with a generated layout rather than a single building.
Six house designs
The cities use six distinct house styles, from small homes to larger builds, so neighborhoods do not repeat one design.
Connected roads
Buildings in a town are linked by roads that give the settlement a layout and a sense of flow.
Store and school
Each city includes a store for trading and a school structure, adding places to visit beyond the homes.

Who it’s for: Server owners who want more settlements in plains and meadow biomes, builders looking for a starting layout, and roleplayers who want a town with a store and a school.
