Village Census
- By
One ledger that shows what your villagers know: beds, workstations, breeding and iron golem readiness for a whole village or a single villager.
Iron farm stopped working? Villagers won't breed? A librarian that never takes its lectern? In vanilla Minecraft you have to guess why. Village Census adds one item, the Census Ledger, which shows you what the villagers actually know: who has a bed, who has a job, who slept recently and who is able to summon an iron golem.
Features
| Action | What you get |
|---|---|
| Right-click | A report about the village within 48 blocks: villagers (adults and children), professions, beds and workstations (total, claimed, free), how many villagers are ready to breed and to summon an iron golem, iron golems nearby, and advice on what to fix. |
| Sneak + right-click | Free beds (green sparkles) and free workstations (white sparks) are highlighted for 10 seconds. Only you see them. |
| Right-click a villager | A card for that villager: profession and level, coordinates of its bed and workstation, when it last slept, whether it can breed and whether it can summon a golem (and if not, why). The trading screen does not open. |
Recipe
Shapeless: Book + Emerald + Feather + Ink Sac → Census Ledger. The recipe unlocks as soon as you pick up an emerald. The ledger is also in the Tools & Utilities creative tab.

Installation
- Available for Fabric, NeoForge and Forge on Minecraft Java 26.1.2, 26.2 and 26.3. Pick the file for your loader and game version.
- Install it on both the client and the server, because the mod adds a new item.
- Fabric also needs Fabric API.
- Java 25 is required, the same as Minecraft 26.x itself.
Compatibility
Village Census only reads what villagers already remember (their bed, workstation and when they last slept). It does not change how villagers behave, and it adds nothing to the world.
