⚡ Features

🗣️ Contextual Phrases

Villagers respond in different situations:

Iron Golems guarding a village also have their own phrases:

🔗 Compatibility

• VillagerNames: fully compatible — custom names appear as the message prefix automatically

⚙️ Configuration

The easiest way to configure VillagerPhrases is in-game: open Mod Menu (Fabric) or the Config button in the mods list (NeoForge) to toggle phrase categories and adjust cooldowns without touching any files.

If you prefer editing manually, or don't have Mod Menu installed:

config/villagerphrases.json

Available options:

{
  "enableNormalPhrases": true,
  "enableHumorPhrases": true,
  "enableNightPhrases": true,
  "enableRainPhrases": true,
  "enableHitPhrases": true,
  "enableDeathPhrases": true,
  "globalMessageCooldownTicks": 160
}

Each toggle independently controls its corresponding phrase category.

globalMessageCooldownTicks sets the minimum gap between messages (20 ticks = 1 second, so 160 = 8s by default; 0 disables the cooldown). Death phrases always fire regardless of the cooldown.

Iron Golem phrases have their own switches and cooldown:

{
  "enableIronGolemProximityPhrases": true,
  "enableIronGolemHitPhrases": true,
  "enableIronGolemDeathPhrases": true,
  "ironGolemMessageCooldownTicks": 160
}

ironGolemMessageCooldownTicks is independent of the villager cooldown, and Iron Golem death phrases always fire regardless of it.
