Version 1.2.1
Say goodbye to those ugly and boring Testificates! Minecraft Comes Alive replaces the original villagers with humans and gives them an actual use within the game.

• Villagers are humans now. They can be male or female and have skins pertaining to their gender and profession.
• You can interact with villagers and raise your relationship with them. Get it high enough and you can get married to them.
• You can have a baby when you're married. It will grow into a child who can do chores for you such as farming, fishing, and hunting.
• Your child will later grow into an adult. Adults make great companions and will defend you to the death. They also play part in a secret feature in Hardcore mode.

• Improve skins in the mod to have a "textured" look. LibrarianF5 and Librarian F3 are great examples.

Children
Q. How long does it take for children to grow into adults?

A. No, a hoe isn't required to farm. Also, nothing listed in the hunting section is required to hunt. However performance will be better if they have the items listed.

Q. I told my child to hunt and he disappeared!
A. This is supposed to happen. Hunting takes 1/3rd of a day. He will return to the spot you told him to hunt at after 5-10 minutes. The time may vary depending on how fast Minecraft runs on your PC. (framerate)

Q. My child died while hunting!
A. There is a chance of death if they don't have armor and a weapon.


Misc
