Villager Recruits Village Expansion Mod extends the Recruits mod with fully independent villages. It turns normal settlements into living communities that can grow, organize, and defend their own land without your help. The villages manage their own soldiers, assign jobs to people, and react to things happening in the world. This gives you a much more alive and active world to explore.

Features:

- Lets you add your very own custom buildings and town halls into the village generation system.
- Players do not need to help or manage the village for it to survive and grow.
