Villagers Reborn

Villagers Reborn replaces vanilla villagers with human models while keeping their usual jobs, trades, and behavior.

It also replaces other mobs such as illagers, witches, and the wandering trader with human models.

Works in any existing world and is compatible with most mods that add custom trades or professions.

The mod also includes villager names, personalities, and a simple dialogue system.

Press R to talk with a villager.
