villager name Multilingual

🆕 NEW IN 1.2.0 ──────────────────────────────────── • Biome (auto) style — villagers draw their name from the pool that fits where they were born: Nordic in snowy/taiga biomes, Arabic in deserts, Chinese in jungles, Medieval everywhere else • Nordic name pool added — 120 names (60M / 60F), for a 13th language style • Earned titles — villagers pick up "the Brave" (survived 3 raider deaths nearby), "the Unlucky" (hit 5 times), or "the Elder" (20 days old), with correct gender agreement (Marie la Brave / Thomas le Brave). Toggleable. • Family surnames — newborns inherit their parent's surname; everyone else takes the surname tied to where they were first seen, so whole villages share a family name. Toggleable. ────────────────────────────────────

Villager Names is a lightweight Bedrock add-on that automatically gives every villager in your world a unique name, displayed persistently above their head — just like a name tag, but fully automatic.

──────────────────────────────────── 13 NAME STYLES + BIOME AUTO — 3,157 UNIQUE NAMES ──────────────────────────────────── Choose from 13 distinct styles, or let the add-on pick per villager with Biome (auto). Each of the 10 world languages contains exactly 250 names — 125 masculine and 125 feminine — all real, culturally accurate first names, romanized to Latin script for consistent rendering on every platform (PC, Xbox, Switch, mobile). 🇬🇧 English — 250 names (125M / 125F) 🇫🇷 French — 250 names (125M / 125F) 🇪🇸 Spanish — 250 names (125M / 125F) 🇵🇹 Portuguese — 250 names (125M / 125F) 🇷🇺 Russian — 250 names (125M / 125F) 🇸🇦 Arabic — 250 names (125M / 125F) 🇮🇳 Hindi — 250 names (125M / 125F) 🇧🇩 Bengali — 250 names (125M / 125F) 🇵🇰 Urdu — 250 names (125M / 125F) 🇨🇳 Chinese (Mandarin, pinyin) — 250 names (125M / 125F) ❄️ Nordic — 120 names (60M / 60F), for snow and taiga villages 🏰 Medieval — 537 names drawn from Anglo-Saxon, Norman, Germanic, Scandinavian, Celtic and Latin traditions 🔮 Procedural — infinite algorithmically generated fantasy names 🌍 Biome (auto) — assigns one of the above per villager, based on where it was born

──────────────────────────────────── HOW IT WORKS ──────────────────────────────────── When you first join a world with the add-on active, you automatically receive the Villager Name Book in your inventory. Right-click with it while aiming at the air to open the configuration menu.

Names are assigned automatically:

• When a new villager spawns.
• When you load a chunk containing unnamed villagers.
• Every second, via a background scan of all loaded villagers.

Each villager's given name, surname, and earned title are saved directly on the entity and survive world reloads, so "Thomas Fontaine" stays Thomas Fontaine forever — unless you choose to rename him.

──────────────────────────────────── CONFIGURATION MENU (in-game) ──────────────────────────────────── The book opens a button-based menu (no unreliable toggles) with six options: • Change style — pick any of the 13 styles, or Biome (auto), from a scrollable sub-menu • Enable / Disable system — pause naming without losing existing names • On style change: KEEP or RENAME — choose whether switching styles renames already-named villagers or leaves them as-is • Earned titles: ON / OFF — show or hide titles villagers pick up through gameplay • Family names: ON / OFF — show or hide inherited surnames • Rename all loaded villagers now — immediately re-rolls every villager in all loaded dimensions

The menu is entirely in English regardless of your Minecraft language setting.

──────────────────────────────────── DIAGNOSTIC COMMANDS ──────────────────────────────────── /scriptevent vn:test — confirms the script is running and shows current settings /scriptevent vn:book — gives you the config book if you lost it /scriptevent vn:menu — opens the config menu without the book

──────────────────────────────────── REQUIREMENTS & COMPATIBILITY ──────────────────────────────────── • Minecraft Bedrock 1.26.20 or later • No experimental toggles required • Compatible with other add-ons (does not modify any vanilla entity files) • Speech bubbles from Living Villagers coexist cleanly with surnames and titles • Works in singleplayer and on local multiplayer worlds
