You Bandit!
by Eugene
Players who want to join the pillagers can turn bandit in You Bandit!, a Fabric, Forge and Quilt mod for 1.20.4 that makes villagers hostile after two kills.
What it does
Killing two villagers gives the player an unluck debuff and turns them into a bandit. Bandits are hated by villagers, whose trade prices rise, and iron golems keep chasing them. In return the bandit is much stronger, and illagers stop attacking.
Killing an illager, including witches and vexes, applies a Bad Omen V effect. Drinking milk does not remove it, and continuously spawned vexes appear around the player. Taking the Bad Omen V to a village and winning the raid grants Hero of the Village V, which lowers trade prices back to near the original level.
The mod runs on the server only, so players join without installing it. It is published for Fabric, Forge and Quilt across 9 release versions, 1.19 – 1.20.4, and the code is not open source, with all rights reserved by the author Eugene.
Key features
Bandit transformation
Killing two villagers applies an unluck debuff and turns the player into a bandit, changing how villagers and illagers react.
Villager and golem hostility
Bandits face higher trade prices from villagers and pursuit from iron golems, while illagers leave them alone.
Bad Omen V curse
Killing an illager applies Bad Omen V, and milk buckets cannot clear it, so vexes keep appearing.
Raid redemption
Winning a raid with the curse active grants Hero of the Village V, which restores trade prices close to normal.
