VillagerRepellent
A lightweight plugin that lets you repel villagers from using specific beds and workstations — works by logging blocks to a list of banned coordinates for villager use. Perfect for keeping villagers out of personal homes, or using workstation blocks as decoration. (No more fishermen in your barrel room!)
Features
- Repel villagers from any blocks at specified coordinates
- Works for beds, workstations, bells
- Commands to both blacklist and whitelist blocks
- 100% vanilla-friendly
- Supports Paper 1.21.x
- Extremely lightweight
How It Works
❌ Repellent Mode (/villagerrepel, /vr)
When you repel a block:
- The block's position that you are targetting is added to a banned list
- Every 10 seconds, the plugin checks all villagers' memories for that block position
- If their HOME or JOB_SITE matches a banned block, their memory is nulled
- Villagers immediately ignore that block and seek a new one
✔️ Allow Mode (/villagerallow, /va)
When you allow a block:
- The block you are targetting is removed from the banned list
- The plugin replaces the block with itself, triggering a vanilla POI refresh
(same effect as breaking and placing the block) - Villagers reconsider it during the next work cycle
Installation
- Download the latest release JAR
- Place it in your Paper server's
plugins/folder - Restart the server
Supports Paper 1.21.x.

I'm relatively new to this, so feel free to let me know if this plugin conflicts with any popular plugins and I'll look to correct it!
