FAN MADE ADDONS:
Recruits: Village Expansion is an addon for Recruits that introduces a fully autonomous village system. Each settlement has its own center, faction, and internal logic, allowing villages to function as living communities capable of organizing themselves, growing, and defending their territory without player involvement.
Villages created by this addon are not static structures: they are active entities that manage recruits, assign roles, maintain their identity, and react to world events. Each village can expand, build functional structures, establish territory, and maintain internal balance between civilians, soldiers, and resources.
The goal is to turn villages into autonomous factions, consistent and believable, interacting dynamically with the world and the player. The result is a more alive, emergent, and strategic experience that integrates seamlessly with Recruits.
Its recommended to play at a max simulation distance of 15 or 16 because villages also do all the important stuff outside of simulation distance and naturally generated villages will spawn in loaded chunks by render distance or pregenerated not by simulation distance anymore.In version 1.0.7.17 (and versions after it) you will be able to play with a low render distance because villages now also spawn outside of render distance
To disable natural spawning factions do /datapack enable "village_recruits:no_natural_villages" or better if you enable it before making the world vanilla villages will stay!
