OldVillages
Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.21. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.
⬇ Download on Modrinth
The mod adds old villages from version 1.13 - as new structures.
Villages spawn in plains, deserts, savannas and taiga biomes.
Some houses have workstations for villagers or beds.
I recommend using the Programmer Art Resource Pack.
The blacksmith obviously has his own loot chest.
The mod includes standard config and several additional features, such as 1.4-broken generation of torches, changes between Gravel and Dirt Path, and the disabling of vanilla villages.
