Worldwide Villagers
by Wet_Noodle
Worldwide Villagers changes which villager type a village spawns with, so villages in other biomes can look different from the default plains style.
What it does
Plains villagers no longer keep the default villager type. In villages outside the usual villager biomes, villagers inherit a type from a parent village, and villagers spawning in non-villager biomes receive a random type. Zombie villagers spawned in villager biomes have a 10% chance of taking a random type as well.
Biomes that count as villager biomes include several forest and plains variants, along with lush caves and swamps. The mod is server-side only: players join without installing it, and only the server needs it. It runs on Fabric and depends on Fabric API, and it is open source under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, which places the code in the public domain. Files exist for 13 release versions, 1.20.5 – 1.21.10, with 2.0.1-1.21.10 as the latest file for 1.21.10.
Key features
Villager type replacement
Plains villagers lose their default type, so villages can use a wider mix of villager appearances.
Random types outside villager biomes
Villagers spawning in non-villager biomes receive a random villager type.
Inherited types in villages
Outside villager biomes, a villager takes its type from one of its parent village's villagers.

About one in ten zombie villagers spawned in villager biomes receives a random type.

Use cases
Mixed villages on a server
Server owners who want villages to look less uniform across forests, swamps and plains can use the mod without changing client installs.
Who it’s for: Server owners running Fabric who want villager appearances to vary by biome. Players need nothing installed on their side.
How it compares
Spawn-Proofed Villagers is also server-side only and open source under the MIT License, covering 1.19.4 – 1.21.10 on Fabric, so it reaches a wider version range than Worldwide Villagers.
