Update to Minecraft 1.5.1 is available!

With the recent zombie infiltration the villagers have decided to expand into new territories.

This mod allows villages to generate in all major biomes.  Forest, Extreme Hills, Jungle, Taiga, Swamp, Ice Plains, and of course the normal Plains and Desert.

Now that the villagers have had time to get more familiar with newly discovered regions, they have started upgrading their buildings with new materials! Forests, Extreme Hills, Jungles, and Taigas buildings have all taken on new looks.  No new buildings yet, that is to come perhaps.  But enjoy the new look and feel of villages everywhere.

Please do backups before trying any new mods.

*Note: New villages will only appear in new chunks.  Old chunks (from existing worlds) will remain unchanged.  So travel, or start a new world to see the new look of the villages.*

I'm including three downloads, a "Normal" version, a "Medium" version, and a "Extreme" version. The "Normal" version is default minecraft spawning.  The "Medium" version has double the chance as "Normal", and the "Extreme" version has double the chance as "Medium". The "Extreme" version is mainly for fun and testing.

Client and Server - Install in the .jar file.

Village Logic Add-on!!

Spoiler:

(April, 2013)

Have you ever wanted an underground village?  Do you hate that mountain overhangs can make doors invalid?  Well worry no longer!  With this insanely awesome add-on doors no longer need any line of sight to a skyblock!

That's right!  Now you can build a village anywhere and have valid doors the villagers will use.  There is only two things you need to remember:

1.  A placed door must have at least two air blocks behind it before the villagers will consider it a home.
2.  Have fun!

Example use of this new add-on?

Better control of your villagers population.  Want one huge building for your villagers, but only one visible door?  Hide the other doors underground!

Put mod in minecraft.jar, of course.

Information on future versions.

Spoiler:

At this time I have decided to freeze the mod in it's current state. I will not be adding any new features.  I WILL continue to update the mod when minecraft updates so if you like the mod you will not have to do without it when mojang updates minecraft.

(I did this mod because Etho said it'd be neat.)

[yoshisman8]

I like the idea. but you should add Images of the Generated villages before "no pic no click" guys appear.

anyway nice mod ^^

[norick1400]

to make poeple downloawd it u better show some pics

[dragontyron]

neat! pictures would be nice, though. especially considering how village generation is gonna look pretty odd in mountains.

[NetherApprentice]

Defiantly needs some more work =)

[Downloader1337]

Amazing idea! If only Minecraft had villages in all biomes. For jungle, forest, taiga, and swamp (the usual 'tree' biomes), you should make the village so that the trees to not interfere. (not that the hills wont) This will make it much easier for larger villages in these biomes.

Hey man, you might wan't to fix your mod. Please take note that I'm trying my best to not get angry  but your mod just deleted my level.dat file making it impossible to open my world. What i did was open it to LAN then restart mine craft please look into fixing it so other people do not have this issue. I'm not positive that it was your mod that did it but it happened just after installing it. But i do like the idea of this mod

This mod only modifies one line of code. It is impossible that installing this mod could delete the level.dat file. Either you ran into another minecraft bug, or another mod failed somehow.

As usual, always backup before trying any new mod or minecraft version update.

You need to get into the habit of backing up your worlds.  Not only is it helpful if you run into problems with a mod, it can help deal with problems of the nature of getting some very bad luck with a creeper destroying pure diamond gear or such.

[Alivyre]

Its fine, managed to restore the world by putting the region folder into another world, It worked so my hours upon hours of building is restored but everything on me is gone, which is no problem. I never had a world corrupt or delete and i have been playing since alpha, I back up most of my server worlds but never backed up my single player. Overall problem is resolved got my world back AND i will actually be able to use this mod now

[ I'm a Korean. So, I can't speak English very well : ( ]
Um ... Try add more!

Like House made ​​of snow, Different color wood etc.

[Rallybred]

LoL....pretty cool mod....not sure about the frozen farms though

[alfmister]

you should make it so that jungle village uses jungle wood, planks and stairs ect

Yeah, just like desert villages are using the sandstone.

[CakeSmite]

Idiot villagers built a village in the water, nice mod though

[shortwind]

Mod updated today, August 20th, 2012. Check out the new pictures. Version 2.

[Shrift]

Fantastic mod, I've been waiting for something like this.  I like the fact that it doesn't change any other default minecraft features for villages.

Could you please add a list of the village differences for each biome? Also, whats the percentage difference between normal and extreme?  Maybe have a config file for adjustability.

And if possible, make sure it is modloader compatible (doesn't have to be dependant), just because of other mods.

Thanks! Keep it up!


Edit:  Version 2 looks SO much better with biome specific materials and better generation.

[Downloader1337]

Can you link the texture pack that you used? It looks sweet.

[Pie55555]

Very Nice Mod. I will Deffently Downloaded it soon
