Living Villages

Minecraft villages always felt like stage sets to me: nice to look at, but nobody really lives there. So I made villages that build themselves. Use a scroll and a settlement grows out of an empty field, with builders, farmers, woodcutters and guards each doing their own job.

Inspired by Millénaire, but written from scratch for Bedrock. It is not a copy.

Three cultures

Norman, Viking and Japanese. Each has its own buildings, names, dialogues and quests.

A village you can watch grow

• Builders lay out streets and raise houses one by one
• Farmers and woodcutters work, villagers trade and talk
• Guards patrol, defend against raids and welcome trade caravans
• Villages also generate naturally as you explore (turn off with /scriptevent mill:natural off)

City walls

A rich village builds a wall with round towers, stairs and gates. The gates close at night and during raids.

Reputation and quests

Villagers give quests and remember how you treat them. Reach maximum reputation and become the ruler.

How to get a scroll

Put paper, an emerald and a block in your inventory, then sneak + right-click with the paper:

• Stone bricks: Norman
• Spruce planks: Viking
• Birch planks: Japanese

Or use a command: /scriptevent mill:give norman (also viking, japanese, test).

Good to know

• Languages: Russian and English. Switch with /scriptevent mill:lang en (or ru) and re-enter the world.
• Diagnostics: /scriptevent mill:report, mill:log, mill:who, mill:version
• Requires Minecraft Bedrock 1.21.90 or newer. A new world works best.

In active development

Rough edges are possible. I'm open to suggestions and criticism, so tell me in the comments about new buildings, cultures or features you would like.
