Villager Awakening is a mod that enhances Vanilla villagers, adding culture, speech and personality. Now all villages feel like a living, breathing community.

 

✨ Key Features

 

  • Dynamic Personalities: Villagers and wandering traders now spawn with one of 6 unique personalities, which provides a unique identity to each villager and governs its interactions with the player.
  • Cultural Identity: Each culture now has a shared identity and provides dynamic speech opportunities based on their culture.
  • Culturally Accurate Names: Each villager now spawns with a custom name that reflects their specific culture.
  • Massive Speechbank: Villagers now have a speechbank of over 1000+ dynamic lines of dialogue.
  • Reactive Environments: Villagers now comment on themselves, their personality, their culture, the player, and current world conditions using 30+ custom conditions.
  • Smart Interactions: Villagers actively recognize you, themselves, and even adapt to your preferred gender!

 

⚙️ Compatibility & Configuration

 

  • Flexible Display: Speech may be displayed in custom speech bubbles, in chat, or both!
  • Fully Configurable: All features in this mod are fully configurable. Tweak them to fit your playstyle.
  • Mod Friendly: Fully compatible with most shader mods and modded villagers. (Note: Some specific conditions may not trigger on modded villagers, but they will still speak.)

🚧 WIP:

  • Unique villager visuals
  • More personalities
  • Custom villager history
  • Improved villager AI
  • Backport to 1.20.1
