🌿 VillagerGender — Realistic Villager Breeding with Genders
📝 Description
VillagerGender introduces a realistic gender and breeding system for villagers in Minecraft. Each villager is assigned a random gender (male or female) upon spawning, and reproduction follows biological rules: only females can give birth, and each mother has a limited number of children she can bear.
Breeding occurs naturally when a male and female villager are nearby, beds are available, and cooldown periods are respected. The system uses NBT data to persistently store gender, birth count, and breeding timers.
Perfect for roleplay, survival realism, or immersive world-building servers.
