OLLA's Better Villagers

Pick up villagers with all their trades saved, then place, anchor, claim and protect them, change their biome, and move them with hoppers and dispensers.

OLLA's Better Villagers

Moving villagers in Bedrock is a pain. OLLA's Better Villagers fixes that: pick a villager up, carry it in your inventory, and place it back exactly as it was, with every trade intact.


Pick Up Villagers

  • Shift + right-click a villager to turn it into a 3D villager head item
  • Every profession has its own head, and babies get their own too
  • Everything is saved: trades, trade uses and cooldowns, level, XP, cure discounts, custom name, biome and age
  • Heads show as 3D models in your hand and when dropped on the ground
  • Dropped heads never despawn and can't be destroyed by lava, fire or explosions
  • Hover over a head to see the villager's profession, level, whether its trades are locked, biome, age, owner and anchor status

Place Them Back

  • Right-click a block with the head to release the exact same villager, with a little poof effect
  • Right-click a boat or minecart to put the villager straight inside

Hoppers & Dispensers

  • Hoppers pick up villagers that walk or fall onto them
  • Dispensers place villagers back out when powered
  • Build fully automatic villager transport and trading hall setups

Anchor Villagers

  • Shift + right-click with shears to anchor a villager
  • Anchored villagers stop wandering but can still be pushed into place
  • A small ring at their feet shows they're anchored

Claim & Protect

  • Shift + right-click with any shovel to claim a villager
  • Claimed villagers can't be hurt and can't be turned into witches by lightning
  • Other players can't anchor, claim or break the workstation of your villagers
  • Claimed villagers show their owner above them, like Big O's Librarian
  • Get a chat alert when your villagers restock after being traded with

Owner Menu

Shift + right-click your claimed villager to open its menu. It shows the villager's level, whether its trades are locked and its nearest workstation:

  • Change Biome: Plains, Desert, Jungle, Savanna, Snow, Swamp or Taiga, with a preview of how your villager will look
  • Trading: Everyone, Trading partners only, or Only me
  • Trading Partners: choose exactly who can trade with your villagers
  • Pickup: let only you, your trading partners, or everyone pick the villager up
  • Rename: give your villager a custom name
  • Breeding: turn breeding on or off to keep trading halls from overfilling
  • Transfer Owner: give the villager to another player
  • Anchor, Pick Up and Unclaim

Zombie Villagers

  • Optionally pick up zombie villagers too (off by default)
  • Holding a golden apple still cures them as normal

Commands

Command Who What it does
/olla:villagerinfo Everyone Opens a menu explaining every feature and how to use it

Every feature can be toggled, including baby and zombie pickup, claimed villager protection, lightning protection, owner name tags, restock alerts, workstation protection, hoppers, dispensers, and sounds and particles. There's also an optional claim limit per player. Works on Realms.


Notes

  • This addon changes the vanilla villager and zombie villager files, so it may conflict with other addons that also change them
