Villager Intelligence Update (Helpful Villagers)

• Renaming with nametags enabled
• Inventory size increased to 10
• Using a chest, click on a villager to enable/disable inventory access.
• Make a villager follow you while holding a hale bale. Toggle on/off by clicking villager with hay bale.
• Reduced likelihood of pathfinding issues related to grass path blocks.

Farmer

• Delay between consecutive harvests/replants reduced from vanilla 1 second to 0.5 seconds.
• Farmer will now fertilize crops without fail if the farmer has bonemeal.
• Farmer can drop crops to hopper:
  1. During work time, farmer has the chance to look for a "farmer guide stone"...
  2. If a Guide Stone is found, farmer will go to it then share to a nearby "hopper marker" entity that should be placed on top of a hopper and within sight of the Farmer Guide Stone.
  3. Farmer will share excess crops from his inventory to it and go back to normal activities.

  • S S S
  • S D S

Known Issues

• Enabling inventory access with the chest causes the villager to forget their trade table, but not experience. Removing inventory access restores a new, random trade table at their same level.
