Liberty's Villagers

Are you the mayor of a village? Are you tired of your villagers failing to find their beds at nightfall, or forgetting their workstations in the morning? Have you seen one too many villager die from jumping off stairs and injuring themselves over and over? Well, Liberty's Villagers is here to help!

Liberty's Villagers is a forge and fabric mod that improves the logic and allows the mayor (you) to modify villager behavior to provide a better experience for your villagers!

Debug

• Villagerstats command which gives you a summary how how many Villagers are in your town and what their occupations are, how many are homeless, number of golems, number and types of cats, and how many open beds are available, in an easy-to-read book format.
• Villagerinfo command which tells you a summary of a Villager standing before you - where there bed is, where their workstation is, where their meeting place is, and what they are holding in their inventory. If looking at a Point of Interest (such as a workplace, bed, or bell), it will tell you whether that POI is claimed by a Villager.
• VillagerSetPOI command which lets you toggle whether a block (such as a bed, workplace, or bell) is a valid Point Of Interest or not, so you can disable decorative blocks from being considered a workplace, and reserve your own bed to sleep in at night.
• Villager Info overlay - for single player and integrated servers, you can see the data from Villagerinfo update as you look around, useful for quick debugging during the Villager's meeting times.
