  • Attempt to properly support modded Villager types and bucket textures - Mod only

  • Dispenser support - Plugin, mod already contains it

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

# If enabled, the other options, "villager", "zombie-villager", "wandering-trader", "disable-bucket-use-on-disable" and "harm-reputation"
# (except the resource pack options) will be ignored in favour of using permissions instead. This is the recommended method.
# The other ones will be removed in the future. If you are switching please read https://github.com/JustDoom/VillagerInABukkit/wiki/Configuring-using-permissions
# If you can not see the other settings listed above in this file do not worry, you have just generated it after they were deprecated, and they have not been generated for you.
use-permissions: 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-url: "https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/9tf9GGch/versions/ZBgqIN0Y/VillagerInABukkitPack.zip"
# The SHA-1 hash of the resource pack ZIP
#resource-pack-hash: "f2d4dd5bf8ee221234b738236099b2592c58b8e8"
# The ID for the resource pack. Please do not touch unless you know what you are doing
#resource-pack-id: "68a4b411-e409-4d89-b563-66049ba4914b"

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