Villager Enhanced

Reputation you can see — and change.

Villagers have always formed opinions about you. Minecraft has never shown them to you, and has never given you a way to influence them other than trading. Now it does both.

Added

Seeing where you stand

• New "How do you see me?" option showing how this villager regards you, as a named tier rather than a raw number: Reviled, Disliked, Stranger, Acquaintance, Trusted, Honoured.
• Tiers correspond to things you have actually done. Trading regularly makes you Trusted; curing a zombie villager is the only route to Honoured; hurting or killing a villager will drop you below Stranger — and villagers gossip, so their neighbours will hear about it.
• Reputation decays over time, so standing is something you maintain rather than bank.

Giving gifts

• New "Offer what you're holding" option. Villagers accept anything they would buy in their trades, plus any food — so what a villager wants varies with their profession and trade level.
• Food is welcome from anyone, so nitwits, the unemployed and babies can be befriended too, despite having nothing to trade.
• Gifts raise their opinion of you a little, and that goodwill fades more slowly than goodwill earned by trading. Gifting cannot take you all the way to Honoured, however generous you are.
• The villager visibly reacts — you can watch it happen behind the open dialogue.

Changed

• The dialogue is now multi-page, so conversations can go somewhere and come back.
• What a villager says is now composed on the server rather than assembled by the client, and wraps properly across lines. Groundwork for longer, more varied dialogue.

Notes

• Network protocol version raised to 2. Clients and servers must both be on 0.2.0.
• Requires Minecraft 26.2 and NeoForge 26.2.0.48-beta, as before.
