Populations

Replace Minecraft villagers with actual human villagers that defend themselves.

Populations

(Fabric)

 

Villages full of people: villagers become men and women with names, player skins
and families, and they stand up for each other.

----------------------------------------------------------------
FEATURES
----------------------------------------------------------------
People
- Every villager is a man or a woman with a player skin: Steve-style for men,
  Alex-style (slim arms) for women.
- Each village stays close to half men, half women. That includes newborns,
  spawn eggs and villagers already in your world.
- Every villager gets a random first and last name, also used in death
  messages. A name tag still renames them.
- Name tags are always shown: name, job and health, for example:
    Jennifer Cole
    Armorer
    40/40
- Children are half size.
- No more "hmm" sounds: when hurt or killed.

Families
- Only a man and a woman can have a baby, whether they breed on their own or
  you feed them.
- Their first baby makes them partners for life: she takes his last name, and
  so does the baby.
- Partners only have children together while both are alive, even when far
  apart or turned into a zombie villager.
- If one partner dies, the other may start a new family. A widow takes her new
  partner's name; her earlier children keep their father's.
- A zombified and cured villager is still the same person.

Health and fighting
- Adults have 40 health, children 20. Everyone heals 1 health every 2 seconds
  after 10 seconds out of combat.
- Adults fight back against mobs and players that hurt them, in armor and with
  a sword (leather and stone by default). They hit like a player with that
  sword. The gear never breaks or drops and is gone after the fight.
- Help comes one villager at a time. Each hit a villager takes has a chance to
  call one helper (10% on the first hit, 20% on the second, up to 60%).
- At half health a villager stops fighting and runs. Every hit it takes while
  running calls one more helper for sure.
- Villagers calm down 10 seconds after the fighting stops, or when the
  attacker is far away.
- Children never fight (they always run).

Iron golems
- 30% faster, 25% stronger, and spot enemies from 32 blocks (can be turned
  off).
- Golems still spawn the normal vanilla way.

----------------------------------------------------------------
COMMANDS
----------------------------------------------------------------
/pop    Open the settings screen. (World owner or operators.)

----------------------------------------------------------------
SETTINGS
----------------------------------------------------------------
Change them with /pop. Saved in config/populations.json.

stronger_golems              true     Faster, stronger golems with longer sight.
villagers_defend_themselves  true     Villagers fight whoever hurts them.
villagers_can_aid_others     true     Villagers come to help each other.

----------------------------------------------------------------
HQ COMPATIBILITY
----------------------------------------------------------------
With the HQ mod installed, a "Populations" button in the HQ list opens /pop.
Without HQ the mod works exactly the same.

----------------------------------------------------------------
COMPATIBILITY & NOTES
----------------------------------------------------------------
- Changes vanilla villagers. It doesn't add new ones, so villages, trading
  and jobs work as normal.

----------------------------------------------------------------
CHANGELOG
----------------------------------------------------------------
1.0.0
- First release.
