CoolAid's Village and Pillage Tweaks
A collection of server-side tweaks to villagers and pillagers!
- Hands Off My Block: Shift click a villager workstation block using a stick by default (or any configurable
minecraft: item_ID) to restrict villagers from accessing them - Dynamic Raid Spawn Radius: Allows changing the spawn radius of raid waves via a simple config slider
- Named Traders: Naming wandering traders and their llamas will prevent them from despawning
- Trapdoor Tweaks: Greatly improves upon villager AI, helping them get unstuck in a few scenarios
- Ignore Unarmed Pillagers: Pillagers without their crossbows will not affect villagers or golems
- Crop Trample Threshold: Configurable fall distance before entities can trample crops
- Config screen lets you toggle each of these features (All mob behavior changes are disabled by default
- Required on the dedicated server-side and optionally client-side for some functionality

Will I backport this mod?
Probably not, but maybe. If it's requested then I'm more likely to get around to it. Like most of my mods, I created this collection of features to provide some tweaks I enjoy using on my personal Hardcore world, so things like proper multiplayer compatibility and NeoForge support are not always guaranteed or fully tested.
That being said, does it work on dedicated servers?
The original Hands Off My Block as well as Raid Spawn Radius mod implementations were tested on dedicated server environments and confirmed to work fine. However, further testing would be appreciated.
