Villager Repellent

VillagerRepellent

A lightweight plugin that lets you repel villagers from using specific beds and workstations — works by logging blocks to a list of banned coordinates for villager use. Perfect for keeping villagers out of personal homes, or using workstation blocks as decoration. (No more fishermen in your barrel room!)

Features

- Repel villagers from any blocks at specified coordinates - Works for beds, workstations, bells - Commands to both blacklist and whitelist blocks - 100% vanilla-friendly - Supports Paper 1.21.x - Extremely lightweight

How It Works

❌ Repellent Mode (/villagerrepel, /vr)

When you repel a block: - The block’s position that you are targetting is added to a banned list - Every 10 seconds, the plugin checks all villagers' memories for that block position - If their HOME or JOB_SITE matches a banned block, their memory is nulled - Villagers immediately ignore that block and seek a new one

✔️ Allow Mode (/villagerallow, /va)

When you allow a block: - The block you are targetting is removed from the banned list - The plugin replaces the block with itself, triggering a vanilla POI refresh (same effect as breaking and placing the block) - Villagers reconsider it during the next work cycle

Installation

1. Download the latest release JAR 2. Place it in your Paper server’s `plugins/` folder 3. Restart the server

Supports Paper 1.21.x.
