VillagerLife

VillagerLife

A Paper plugin that brings villagers to life with daily routines, dialog and a reputation system.

Features

- Bilingual — Villagers follow profession-based daily schedules (farmers tend crops, blacksmiths hammer at anvils, fishermen head to water, etc.) and return home in the evening. - Bilingual — Right-click a villager to start a conversation. Chat naturally to ask for resources, request an escort, get directions, trade, or just talk. - Bilingual — Give any villager a persistent nickname that shows above their head and in chat. - Bilingual — Build trust through trading. Higher reputation unlocks more interactions like fetching rare materials, escorts and work orders. - Bilingual — Full support for German (`de-DE`) and English (`en-US`).
