Populations

Populations

(Fabric)

Villages full of people: villagers become men and women with names, player skins
and families, and they stand up for each other.

FEATURES
—————————————————————-
People
– Every villager is a man or a woman with a player skin: Steve-style for men,
  Alex-style (slim arms) for women.
– Each village stays close to half men, half women. That includes newborns,
  spawn eggs and villagers already in your world.
– Every villager gets a random first and last name, also used in death
  messages. A name tag still renames them.
– Name tags are always shown: name, job and health, for example:
    Jennifer Cole
    Armorer
    40/40
– Children are half size.
– No more “hmm” sounds: when hurt or killed.

Families
– Only a man and a woman can have a baby, whether they breed on their own or
  you feed them.
– Their first baby makes them partners for life: she takes his last name, and
  so does the baby.
– Partners only have children together while both are alive, even when far
  apart or turned into a zombie villager.
– If one partner dies, the other may start a new family. A widow takes her new
  partner’s name; her earlier children keep their father’s.
– A zombified and cured villager is still the same person.

Health and fighting
– Adults have 40 health, children 20. Everyone heals 1 health every 2 seconds
  after 10 seconds out of combat.
– Adults fight back against mobs and players that hurt them, in armor and with
  a sword (leather and stone by default). They hit like a player with that
  sword. The gear never breaks or drops and is gone after the fight.
– Help comes one villager at a time. Each hit a villager takes has a chance to
  call one helper (10% on the first hit, 20% on the second, up to 60%).
– At half health a villager stops fighting and runs. Every hit it takes while
  running calls one more helper for sure.
– Villagers calm down 10 seconds after the fighting stops, or when the
  attacker is far away.
– Children never fight (they always run).

Iron golems
– 30% faster, 25% stronger, and spot enemies from 32 blocks (can be turned
  off).
– Golems still spawn the normal vanilla way.

With the HQ mod installed, a “Populations” button in the HQ list opens /pop.
Without HQ the mod works exactly the same.

COMPATIBILITY & NOTES

– Changes vanilla villagers. It doesn’t add new ones, so villages, trading
  and jobs work as normal.
