Wild Villagers Addon

Never lose your villagers again

Zombies wiped out your villagers and they never came back? Wild Villagers keeps the world supplied with villagers. They wander into the Overworld on their own, return to emptied villages, and arrive in groups at the new Abandoned Camps from Wilderness Bound. Everything is done with a script, so no vanilla files are replaced. It is built to sit alongside other add-ons.

Features:

Wandering Villagers Villagers appear out in the open, away from any village, like a Wandering Trader would.

• Tried every 10 seconds near each player, with a 25% chance each time
• Appear 24 to 56 blocks away on open ground in the Overworld
• Never more than 3 within 96 blocks of you
• Named Wandering Villager, which also shows in the trade window

Returning Villagers Stand in a village that has beds but too few villagers, and villagers come back to fill them.

• Needs at least 2 beds within 12 blocks of you
• Checked every 20 seconds with a 60% chance
• 30% of the time, two villagers return at once
• Never refills past 8 villagers
• Each return is written in chat with the time and a running total

Abandoned Camp Groups Near an Abandoned Camp, a group of travellers arrives: 1 Camp Trader (a Wandering Trader) and 2 Camp Villagers. They show up with a horn sound and sparkles above their heads.

• A camp is 6 or more wool blocks, stairs or slabs (any colour) plus a straw bed or a campfire
• A camp can only ever bring 2 groups, with a 30 minute wait between groups
• No new group while the last one is still alive
• Never more than 6 camp visitors within 128 blocks of you
• Adding more wool never brings more people, so it cannot be spammed

The Wild Villagers Handbook Every player receives a Handbook the first time they join. Right-click it to open:

FAQ

Do villagers spawn at night? Not by default, so zombies don't get them right away. You can turn this off in the Control Panel. How do I tell the different villagers apart? Well...they all look the same hahaha, but as what mentioned each type has its own name: Wandering Villager, Returning Villager, Camp Trader and Camp Villager. So you would tell the difference only in their trading window. Can I turn a feature off? Yes. Every feature has an on/off switch in the Control Panel. I changed a setting in the file but nothing happened. Settings you save in the Control Panel are stored in the world and override the file. Use the Control Panel, or press Reset to Defaults.
