Visiting Villagers

🌍 Visiting Villagers – Bring Your Village to Life!

Bring your villages to life! Visiting Villagers is a lightweight Vanilla+ mod that turns quiet hamlets into bustling, dynamic communities.

How It Works

Visitors arrive at dawn and leave at sunset. The mod is designed to be hassle-free: no extra beds or workstations required to work.

Requirements: The village needs at least 6 villagers and 1 Iron Golem for visitors to start spawning.

Key Features

👥 New Visitors: Adults with 14 specialized professions, 7 unemployed types, and baby visitors that bring extra life to the village.

🤝 Dynamic Trading: Specialized wandering traders coming from different biomes.

🛠️ Control Tools: Use the Visitor Checker items (via chat or book) to monitor population or quick commands like /visitors check.

Compatibilities

✨ Visiting Villagers is compatible with Fresh Animations, with the exception of the Wandering Visitor’s eyes. To achieve 100% compatibility, simply use the add-on found at this link. Visiting Villagers x Fresh Animations.

🏷️ Villager Names: Fully compatible with Villager Names to give unique names to your visitors!

⚙️ Platforms: Available for Fabric, Forge, and NeoForge (with in-game configuration support via Mod Menu on Fabric).
