Homebrew Minecraft Villagers Species Details

Villagers seek only peaceful lives. Living in small, tightly woven communities they are protected by their iron golem friends. Towns are mismatched huts made of wood or clay, occasionally featuring a church with an unskilled cleric. Each town maintains an iron golem as protection, made using magic passed down through the generations.

Master Traders

Villagers do not mine or raid. Instead they trade for all of their goods. Forgoing the common golden pieces, they use emeralds as a currency in order to buy the accomidations they need to survive. From the dwarves they receive their iron, gold, and coal. From the Elves and Humans they obtain their wood. And from the gnomes they obtain their devices, though they are quite skilled in making their own.

Expert Craftsmen

The villagers produce very little of their own resources, but instead take in bulk products and output well made gifts. They most useful of these gifts are the spell books made from the librarians, as they can be attuned to certain magical objects.

Other professions produce armor, tools, weapons, and food. Many of these items have been enchanted with some kind of magic. The magic that makes their golems run and their tools work is passed down through generations; no one villager can recall another's spells, nor can they create new ones without help.

 

Pastoral Pleasantries

Most Villagers live in small, peaceful communities with large farms and well-kept groves. They rarely build kingdoms of their own or even hold much land beyond their quiet shires. They typically don’t recognize any sort of nobility or royalty, instead looking to family elders to guide them. Families preserve their traditional ways despite the rise and fall of empires.

AFFABLE AND POSITIVE

Villagers attempt to trust those around them, but the extent to which they are plundered eventually creates fear.

Dwarves. “Dwarves are good for iron and coal. Do you have any to trade?”

Elves. “They are very good for wood and flowers. If only we knew their secrets.”

Humans. “They can be are sworn protectors, or they can be pure evil. Many times has a human, mad with power, set our villages on fire and plundered our loot.”

Loyal to the Village

Villagers rarely leave their villages, and when they do, it is often times an accident. Once they leave their village, they are no longer bound to it. They can forget everything about their village and their role within it. A wandering villager does little more than search for their village, trading in order to eat.

Villager Names

Villagers do not partake in naming in the same way that other races do. Instead, all members of a village use the same title, followed by a number (i.e. Villager #4, Testificate #9). Numbers are recycled as members of the village die off.

 

Titles: Villager, Testificate, Trader, Plains Villager, Tundra Villager, Taiga Villager, Desert Villager, Swamp Villager, Jungle Villager, Savannah Villager.

Minecraft Villagers Traits

Your Villager character has a number of traits in common with all other Villager.

Iron Frenzy

When a villager is attacked, they may use their reaction summon an animated armor to defend themself if none are present. The animated armor is loyal to the villager and attacks anything that hurts them, as well as all undead it can see. The villager may do this a number of times equal to its proficiency modifier. The armor disappears and the ability resets after a long rest
