Hero of the Village Plus - Better Villagers and Extra Trades
✨ A better, more complete and meaningful Hero of the Village effect granting better trades!
I don't know my version or loader
Defending a village from a raid should feel like a monumental achievement. But in vanilla Minecraft, risking your life and your gear usually just rewards you with a temporary, slight discount on basic items. Not anymore.
Hero of the Village Plus completely overhauls the reward system for completing a raid. It transforms the "Hero of the Village" effect into a highly valuable, progression-based mechanic that gives you access to epic late-game loot, massive item yields, and exclusive trades that make defending villagers truly worth your time.
Core Features
Dynamic Master-Tier Trades
When you have the Hero of the Village effect, Master-level (Level 5) villagers will reveal a secret stash of up to 5 brand new, exclusive trades. These trades are dynamically unlocked based on the level of your potion effect. If you have Hero of the Village Level 1, you unlock the first tier. If you manage to get Level 5, you unlock all five epic trades!
These exclusive trades feature a distinct green background in the UI so you can easily spot them.
Vanilla Trades Bonus Yield
The benefits don't stop at new trades. The mod also heavily buffs the standard vanilla trades you already know and love. If a trade costs exactly 1 Emerald (or yields exactly 1 Emerald for items), the amount of items you receive is multiplied based on your effect level and configuration settings. Watch single items turn into massive stacks instantly!
Smart and Deterministic Generation
To prevent players from exploiting the system by simply closing and opening the menu to reroll enchantments, the mod uses a deterministic algorithm. The unique trades, colors, and enchantments a villager offers are permanently tied to that specific villager's unique ID. A Master Armorer will always offer the exact same enchanted diamond chestplate to you, making each villager uniquely valuable.
Fully Configurable
Want to adjust how much extra loot you get? Or maybe disable the vanilla bonus yields and only keep the exclusive trades? The mod includes full Cloth Config integration, allowing you to tailor the experience exactly to your liking directly from the in-game menu.
Master Trades Loot Tables and Probabilities
Below is the complete guide to what every single villager profession can offer you. Remember: you must level up the villager to Master (Level 5) for these to appear, and you will unlock one trade tier per level of the Hero of the Village effect you currently have.
