🏙️ NATIONS & VILLAGERS: AI REBORN

🌌 The story line: we create it together – across a multiverse of worlds.

Switch on Online Mode and Crossworld Visits, and other players can visit your single-player world while you play. What happens next in the story? You help decide – live with us.

Community-driven VRRW: give feedback, vote in polls during selected livestreams, join feature suggestion rounds and react to new ideas with Blitz Reactions. AI Reborn also has built-in voting, suggestion and bug-report tools.

🧠 A LIVING AI CIVILIZATION INSIDE MINECRAFT

Your citizens think, talk and build. AI Reborn adds AI citizens who take jobs, raise your Town Hall and grow your settlement into a city and then a nation – with economy, laws, diplomacy, war and vehicles all connected in one world.

Talk to them in chat (optional local AI through Ollama), hear them answer (Piper / eSpeak NG voices) and, if you like, open your world to the VRRW multiverse through Crossworld.

🧠 Citizens create settlements. 🏙️ Settlements become cities. 🌍 Cities become nations. 🤝 Nations forge alliances.

Made for players who love city building, colony and nation sims, roleplay servers, long survival worlds and AI NPC experiments.

🔥 WHAT AI REBORN ADDS

• 🧠 AI citizens you can talk to – write a citizen's name or role in chat, for example Hello Umberta, build a Town Hall here. With Ollama, the replies come from a local AI model on your own PC.
• 🔊 Voices and listening – citizens answer out loud with Piper or eSpeak NG voices. Optional speech-to-text with whisper.cpp and push-to-talk.
• 🏙️ From settlement to nation – buy land from the Country Seller, hire workers, build a Town Hall, then add homes, warehouses, production and defenses.
• 👷 Real jobs – Miner, Farmer, Lumberjack, Rancher, Builder, Transporter, Postman, Banker, Doctor, Nurse, Pharmacist, Tailor, Artist, Scholar, Spy, Judge, Lawyer, Wandering Professor and more.
• 💰 Economy – markets, banks, taxes and a stock exchange with resource stocks and town shares, all in V-Credits.
• 🤝 Diplomacy – alliances with name, color and emblem, ranks, peace, tribute and war through the Diplomacy Table.
• ⚔️ War and defense – soldiers, archers and crossbowmen, raids, sieges, bunkers, spies, catapults, battering rams, ballistas, tanks and military aircraft.
• 🚗 Vehicles built from blocks – cars, trucks, ships, aircraft, submarines, helicopters and mining trains on VRRW's own collision and motion engine, with no external physics library.
• 🏥 City life – police, courts and prisons, hospitals and pharmacies, a fire department, restaurants and an amusement park with carousel and fairground booths.
• ⚙️ Industry – conveyor belts, power, water processing, sawmills, crude oil, pumpjacks, refineries and pipelines.
• 🌍 5 languages – English, German, French, Spanish and Croatian.

🌌 CROSSWORLD – THE VRRW MULTIVERSE

Online worlds can join one shared VRRW universe:

• 🌐 Online Mode – switch it on in the title screen. When you create a world, the choice (“Online Wallet/Market”) is fixed for that world. It is off by default.
• 🚪 Switch on Crossworld Visits – when you create the world or later through a Crossworld portal. Turning it on is permanent, and your world then appears in the Crossworld portal directory.
• 👥 Other players visit your single-player world through Crossworld portals while you host it. Visitors need an active Online Mode session too. The visit runs over a direct P2P connection (optional WebRTC component), with no router port forwarding.
• 💱 Shared economy – global V wallet, global market, stocks, AI news, quests and events.
• 🏰 Servers become universe nodes – a dedicated server can be a capital, trade hub, fortress or embassy. Dedicated servers need a verified VRRW server key.

Singleplayer worlds become origins. Servers become universe nodes. Alliances become global powers. And the story? We decide it together – live on Kick and Twitch.

🎮 GETTING STARTED

1. Install NeoForge for Minecraft 1.21.1. Put AI Reborn and MCEF into your mods folder. On a dedicated server AI Reborn goes into the server's mods folder too; MCEF is a client-side mod.
2. Find a Country Seller and buy your first land.
3. Hire a worker inside your borders and tell them: Build a Town Hall here.
4. Add homes, a Builder's Hut, warehouses and production buildings.
5. Once your Town Hall stands, place a Diplomacy Table to form alliances.

Want AI conversations? Install and start Ollama, then run /ollama setup for the steps. Next, run /ollama test: it checks the connection and downloads the small model llama3.2:1b if no model is installed yet. The in-game AI Setup screen bundles the chat, voice and speech-to-text options.

🏙️ Start with a village. Build something that can become a nation. Press F6 for the in-game tutorial and P for the map.

🔐 PRIVACY & ONLINE FEATURES – WHAT RUNS WHERE

• 🏠 Local by default. Without Online Mode your worlds stay local.
• 🤖 Local AI. Ollama, Piper and eSpeak NG run on your PC, and you need no API key. If you pick an Ollama Cloud model in AI Setup, your chats go to Ollama's cloud instead.
• 🎙️ Microphone: speech-to-text for citizens listens only while you hold push-to-talk (default V). The automatic voice mode has no key until you bind one yourself. Player voice calls use the microphone only during an active call.
• ☁️ Cloud text fallback is off by default. It only runs after you switch it on in AI Setup and sign in to VRRW. Requests then go through the VRRW backend to OpenRouter; no provider keys ship with the mod. Cloud voice and cloud speech-to-text are currently disabled.
• 🌐 Online Mode links your Minecraft UUID with the VRRW online system (wallet, market, quests, portals). The backend can validate economy actions, and anti-cheat checks protect the shared economy.
• 🔗 Crossworld P2P and voice calls use an optional WebRTC component. It is downloaded only after you agree (from Maven Central, SHA-256 checked). A direct P2P connection can reveal your public IP address to the other player.
• 📋 Website listing is optional and off by default. Only if you confirm twice do your world title, player name, VRRW mods and player count appear on vrrw.online, and they stay there until you withdraw.

❓ GOOD TO KNOW

• 🤖 Do I need Ollama? No. AI Reborn runs without it. AI conversations need Ollama or the opt-in cloud fallback.
• 👥 Multiplayer? Yes. Install AI Reborn on the client and the server. Crossworld adds visits between Online worlds.
• 🏷️ Mod list name: in-game it currently appears as “Intelligent Villagers” (mod ID intelligentvillagers).
• ⌨️ Shared default keys: the VRRW mods share some default keys – for example O, P, M, F6 and V (AI Reborn / OBJ Anim) and F7, F8 (AI Reborn / VRRW Overworld). Rebind them under Options → Controls. OBJ Anim's climb grip always reacts to V, so move AI Reborn's push-to-talk to another key. VRRW Options also open from the pause menu. Inside AI Reborn, push-to-talk and engine start both use V.
• 🎮 Community hub in-game: press ; to open the Twitch / Kick community hub. Twitch is the default, and a toggle switches to Kick. Voting, suggestion and bug-report screens are built in.
• 🧪 Experimental: some systems may change between updates. Always back up important worlds before you update.

🌐 MORE FROM VRRW

• 🌿 VRRW Overworld – Foliage and Trees → – redesigned foliage, trees, vegetation, rocks and natural surface detail, combined with VRRW's own visual and shader systems. Requires OBJ Anim.
• ✨ VRRW Animation – OBJ Anim → – the 3D model and animation toolkit: import OBJ models, animate entities and props, edit models in-game and play on smooth SurfaceNet terrain.
• 🌌 VRRW Unlimited – all three mods in one modpack. Coming soon.

🌿 VRRW Overworld = environment and visuals · ✨ OBJ Anim = models and animation · 🏙️ AI Reborn = civilization and connected gameplay

Better together: AI Reborn runs on its own. With OBJ Anim and VRRW Overworld installed, workers also handle OBJ Anim's smooth SurfaceNet terrain (tree felling, drilling, leveling) and work with VRRW Overworld's trees and ground.

🎨 OPTIONAL: VRRW TEXTURE PACKS

VRRW also makes realistic texture packs in three resolution levels – Copper, Silver and Gold – with the same content; a lower level needs less VRAM. They are offered separately in the VRRW texture shop and are not required for AI Reborn. The mod itself does not download texture packs.
