The Village Fights Back Mod turns ordinary villages into strongholds that can defend themselves. It adds a special brain block to the center of the town that acts like a leader. This block uses emeralds to give the townspeople better weapons, build walls, and train guards. As time passes, the town grows stronger and fights back against any monsters that try to attack. You can help the town by giving them emeralds, or you can become their enemy if you hurt a town member or steal from their chests.
