Villager Pickup

Villager Pickup allows you to pick up villagers into spawn eggs by shift right-clicking on them. The villager spawn egg will retain all NBT data of the previous villager, meaning they stay exactly the same as before you picked them up.

Features

  • Easy Villager Management: Effortlessly manage your villagers by picking them up and placing them wherever you need them.
  • NBT Data Retention: Villagers retain all their data, ensuring they remain unchanged after being picked up.
  • Fully Server-Sided: The mod is fully server-side, and vanilla clients can use it when installed on the server.

    Compatibility

Due to the way this mod is coded, it works with all modded villagers by default if they are not a separate entity. (for example, you can't pick up wandering traders).

Installation

  1. Download the mod from Modrinth or the GitHub Releases.
  2. Place the downloaded mod file into the mods folder of your Minecraft server.
  3. Restart the server to apply the changes.

Configuration

Is there something you want to change about the mod? Check out the config file that is generated after the server has started. You will find it under config/villager-pickup.json.

After making changes, you don't have to restart! Just use the /villager-pickup reload Command.

You can also use the Ingame Config Editor using /villager-pickup config-gui.

Usage

Simply shift right-click on a Villager. The villager will be converted into a spawn egg. You can place them down again afterward.
