VillagerLife
A Paper plugin that brings villagers to life with daily routines, dialog and a reputation system.
Features
- Routines — Villagers follow profession-based daily schedules (farmers tend crops, blacksmiths hammer at anvils, fishermen head to water, etc.) and return home in the evening.
- Dialog — Right-click a villager to start a conversation. Chat naturally to ask for resources, request an escort, get directions, trade, or just talk.
- Nicknames — Give any villager a persistent nickname that shows above their head and in chat.
- Reputation — Build trust through trading. Higher reputation unlocks more interactions like fetching rare materials, escorts and work orders.
- Bilingual — Full support for German (
de-DE) and English (en-US).
Requirements
- Paper 1.21+
- Java 21+
