🌍 Visiting Villagers – Bring Your Village to Life!
Bring your villages to life! Visiting Villagers is a lightweight Vanilla+ mod that turns quiet hamlets into bustling, dynamic communities.
How It Works
Visitors arrive at dawn and leave at sunset. The mod is designed to be hassle-free: no extra beds or workstations required to work.
Requirements: The village needs at least 6 villagers and 1 Iron Golem for visitors to start spawning.
Key Features
👥 New Visitors: Adults with 14 specialized professions, 7 unemployed types, and baby visitors that bring extra life to the village.
🤝 Dynamic Trading: Specialized wandering traders coming from different biomes.
🛠️ Control Tools: Use the Visitor Checker items (via chat or book) to monitor population or quick commands like /visitors check.
