Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Forge only.

⬇ Download for 1.20.1⬇ Download for 1.19.2
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Breeding villagers is the worst.

You just have to throw bread at villagers and hope and pray that the right villager takes it. But there's always that one villager who keeps taking all of the bread, so getting a single baby takes FOREVER.

And when you're playing something like the recruits mod, where you want plenty of villagers for your army, it gets real old, real fast.

This mod 'fixes' that.

  

What does this mod do?

 

This mod adds a single trade to the shepherd villager profession at the novice level: six bread for a villager spawn egg.

 

I'll admit, it's kind of lazy, maybe even a bit cheaty, but it fixes the problem. And my knowledge of modding isn't in the least advanced. So here it is: the Villager breeding "tweak"

 

And hey, if you have more knowledge of modding and want to make villagers behave like every other animal (just following the "right-click-with-food and we'll breed behavior"), BE MY GUEST and maybe even notify me so I can take down this mod.

 

But until then, this is what I've got. Have fun 'breeding' villagers by buying spawn eggs from a shepherd. And good luck explaining to your villagers where babies come from.
