Banner Discord X (formerly Twitter) Follow Static Badge GitHub

Do you find moving villagers annoying? Do they keep running off? Is transporting them by boat getting on your nerves? Do you want to be able to just pick them up? Well this mod helps you with that! You can now click a villager with a bucket and pick them up with ease! No longer will you have to suffer through the annoying boat rides while transporting a single villager at a time, just collect them with buckets!

WE NOW SUPPORT PAPER/PURPUR SERVERS WITH A PLUGIN WOOOOOO, CHECK OUT THE "VILLAGER IN A BUKKIT" VERSION

Mod vs Plugin

This page has downloads for both a mod and plugin. The mod only works when installed on both the client and server. The plugin does not work with the mod, it is for separate use with a Vanilla client. The plugin will download a resource pack which can also be found here.

Features

  • Pick up a villager with an empty bucket
  • Textures depending on Villager region. Only if they have head decorations (Snow, Desert, Swamp and Savanna) - Both mod and server side only plugin!
  • Works with Wandering Traders and Zombie Villagers!
  • Information about the specific villager is saved, nametag, job, trades etc
  • Item lore with information about the specific villager in the bucket
  • Custom advancements! - Mod only
  • Support for collecting and dispensing the villager with a dispenser

Kidnap villagers

Villager being kidnapped

Different textures depending on the villager type

Varients

Custom advancements

Custom Advancements

Zombie Villagers in buckets

Zucket

Planned

  • Attempt to properly support modded Villager types and bucket textures - Mod only
  • Make Villager spawned from bucket without NBT data (Creative item) spawn Villager with biome specific clothing like spawn egg does - Mod only

Usage

To use this mod just get an empty bucket and right click a villager! It's that easy.

Requirements

This mod requires the Architectury API to be installed along with the mod

As of 1.20.1-1.2.0 and 1.20.2-1.1.0 Architectury API is no longer required. Only earlier versions of the 1.20.1 and 1.20.2 builds require it, any possible 1.19.X or earlier builds do not require it (May be coming in the future).

Configuration

Mod

There are currently two options in the config file which can be found in <minecraft directory>/config/villager-in-a-bucket.properties.

enable-zombie-villager sets whether a Zombie Villager can be picked up in a bucket. It does not remove the Zombie Villager In A Bucket item when disabled. Default is true

Plugin

Old config settings have been deprecated in favour of using permissions. Please read https://github.com/JustDoom/VillagerInABukkit/wiki/Configuring-using-permissions

# Should the dispenser be able to pick up or place these villager types. Since players use permissions to determine this
# a config option is used here
dispenser:
  villager:
    pickup: true
    place: true
  wandering-trader:
    pickup: true
    place: true
  zombie-villager:
    pickup: true
    place: true

# Should the server ask the client to download a resource pack when they join
resource-pack: true

# The below options are commented out so that it uses the right resourcepack version for the minecraft/plugin version by default
# If you want to override it/manually use an updated resourcepack you can uncomment and override them

# The URL to download the resource pack from

#resource-pack-id: "68a4b411-e409-4d89-b563-66049ba4914b"

# Should any villager placing and picking up be logged to the console

# Should any villager placing and picking up be logged to a file
file-logging: false
