🏘️ Ancient Villages
Ancient Villages is a vanilla-friendly Minecraft mod that adds fully custom Japanese-inspired villages to the world, designed to seamlessly integrate into the Minecraft universe.

The Ancient Villages serie
The Ancient Villages series introduces multiple Japanese-style villages spawning in taiga biomes, each built with unique layouts, scales and architectural styles.
Each village follows a distinct theme:
- Military villages
- Agricultural villages
- Industrial villages
- Commercial villages
Villages are not just decorative: they feature a fully vanilla-friendly questing system with unique stories to uncover.
Players will interact with NPCs facing personal struggles such as heritage conflicts, revenge, family dramas, religious pressure, and more.
By helping villagers and completing quests, players build their reputation, unlocking:
- Access to powerful equipment
- Advanced crafting opportunities
- Deeper integration within village life
Every village offers different stories, NPCs, house styles and progression paths, encouraging exploration and long-term involvement.
