Neighborly Visit!

Your house is open, and the neighbors are dropping by.

Place a Welcome Center, set out some food and a few beds, and villagers from far away start showing up to stay with you for a few days. Every visitor has a name, a personality and things they like. They remember how you treated them, and the ones you host well keep coming back as friends.

Neighborly Visit! is a hosting mod for Minecraft 1.21.1 (NeoForge). There’s no grind and nothing to memorize. Everything happens in the world and through simple screens.

🧪 Beta: the numbers aren’t balanced yet and bugs are expected. Please back up your world, and feedback is very welcome!

🏡 How it works

Craft and place a Welcome Center. Every player gets their own. The area around it becomes your reception area.
Get ready for guests. Put food in containers marked with a Welcome Tag, and tag a few beds.
Answer the knock. When a group wants to visit, you get a chat message with [Accept] / [Decline] buttons. You can also answer from the Welcome Center.
Host them. For a few days your guests wander around, eat, sleep, chat, trade and follow their hobbies.
Say goodbye. When they leave, they review their stay. Happy guests leave gifts and like you more, and they’ll come back again.

👥 Visitors

Villagers

All 13 vanilla professions, each with a cute name, one of 8 personalities (cheerful, shy, tsundere, gentle and more), hobbies and favorite foods.
They keep their trades between visits and level up their profession as you trade with them.
Wandering traders stop by too, with a fresh set of goods every visit.

Special visitors

As your Hospitality Score goes up, new kinds of guests start to arrive:

Visitor	What they do
Iron Golem	Guards the area and hands out poppies. Repair it with iron ingots.
Wolf	Fights skeletons, digs up treasure for you, and loves bones and belly rubs. Comes in 3 unique coat colors.
Cat	Keeps creepers away, brings morning gifts and naps in sunbeams. Pet it… if it lets you.
Friendly Witch	Throws healing potions at hurt players and guests, and sells potions.
Vindicator	A reformed guard with an axe. Protects the area and sells raid loot.
Guard	With Guard Villagers installed. Patrols the area and ends nearby raids.

❤️ Affinity: they remember you

Every visitor has their own affinity with you, from Stranger to Best Friend.

Raises it: trading, eating their favorite food, a good night’s sleep, a cozy private room, chatting.
Lowers it: going hungry, having no bed, getting hurt, being shooed away.
Guests who are treated badly enough pack up and leave early, and they’ll tell you why.
Higher affinity means trade discounts, longer stays, more gifts and special lines of dialogue.
Special visitors at full affinity can be invited to stay a few more days.

🍞 Hospitality

Meals: guests eat twice a day and prefer filling food. Feed them really well and they’ll compliment your cooking.
Beds: tag any bed, or craft Comfy, Noble or Luxury beds (16 colors each). Picky guests care about the difference.
Furniture: tables, chairs and sofas for guests to sit on.
Things to do: an Easel (shows a new painting every time you place it) and a Telescope for stargazers, along with flowers, animals, music, orchards and fishing spots that match their hobbies.
Trade Crates: guests come by and pick up the items they want from the crate, then pay you in emeralds.
Gift Box: departing guests and the cat leave presents here.
Safety: monsters nearby and raids are bad for business. Guests hide indoors during raids, and you get a warning when there’s danger.

💬 Talk to them

Right-click a visitor to chat. You can:

Chat: about 3,000 hand-written lines in English and Chinese, which change with their personality, your affinity and what’s going on.
Ask what they need, and they’ll tell you what would make their stay better.
Trade, pet (wolves and cats), or say goodbye.

📖 The Guestbook

Bind it to your Welcome Center to see:

Who’s here and how much longer they’re staying
Every past visit and how it went
What guests want to trade for
Your hospitality reviews
A collection of every visitor type and look you’ve met

You can also follow your favorite guests to get a message when they arrive and when they leave.

🤝 Multiplayer friendly

Every player hosts their own guests.
Add friends to your whitelist so they can help host. People who aren’t on it can’t mess with your guests.
The Shooing Broom politely sends a guest home early.

🔗 Optional compatibility

Each one switches on by itself if installed:

Farmer’s Delight and Kaleidoscope Cookery: guests eat their foods, including placed dishes.
Guard Villagers: adds Guard visitors.
Jade: shows a visitor’s affinity when you look at them.

⚙️ Requirements

Most numbers (stay length, group size, reception area size, invitation chances…) can be changed in the server config.
