Villager Overhaul

Welcome to Villager Overhaul

Welcome to Villager Overhaul. This mod adds tons of QoL features to trading, as well as completely new villager combat mechanics. It's a combination of the Guard Villagers mod plus a bunch of merchant trading features.

Everything is balanced to make sure it's not overpowered. The methodology is simple: provide a better alternative to destroying and placing a lectern block over 9000 times. Everything costs emeralds and is completely configurable.

For now, this mod only supports NeoForge 1.21.1 and beyond, due to the complexity of the mod’s architecture. I may investigate porting to 1.20.1 in the future, but there are no plans as of now.

Merchant Features

• Reroll trades at any villager level in exchange for emeralds
• Lock specific trades so they won’t get rerolled
• Automatically reroll until a specific item is found while you're away
• Each villager spawns with 4 randomized custom Merchant stats

Combat Features

• Give villagers fully functioning equipment (armor, sword, shield)
• Each villager spawns with 4 randomized custom Combat stats
• Villagers return to normal jobs (like farming) when not on guard duty
• Assign patrol routes to villagers
• Tell villagers to follow you or stop moving
• Villagers eat food to regenerate HP
• Fully customize when villagers engage in combat (individually or globally)
• Customize each villager’s combat AI

General Features

• Villagers can be respawned
• Other players cannot run commands, rerolls, etc. on villagers you recruited
• Villager information GUI showing stats, history, attributes, and more
• Server config is hot-loaded — no server restart required
