Compact Villagers

Compact Villagers

Carry your villagers in reusable capsules and trade with them from a compact, single-block booth. Move a favourite trader to your base without boats, minecarts, or a long walk home.

Features

• Pick up adult villagers with a reusable capsule.
• Keep their profession, experience, and trading offers when you move them.
• See at a glance whether a capsule is empty or occupied.
• Release villagers onto normal ground, paths, slabs, or stairs.
• Place one villager in a Trading Booth and use the familiar Minecraft trading screen.
• Unlock new offers as your villager gains experience.
• Refill used offers every half game day while the booth is loaded.
• Recover the villager in a filled capsule when the booth breaks.
• Play in single-player or multiplayer on Fabric and NeoForge.
• English and Russian translations included.

How to use

1. Right-click an adult villager with an empty capsule to pick them up.
2. Right-click safe ground with the filled capsule to release the villager. The capsule becomes empty again.
3. Right-click a Trading Booth with a filled capsule to place the villager inside.
4. Right-click the booth with an empty hand to trade. New offers appear after you close the trading screen when the villager has earned enough experience.
5. Right-click the booth with an empty capsule to take the villager out.

A booth holds one villager and permits one trading player at a time. Moving a villager into a booth does not immediately refill used offers. The first release focuses on manual trading; automatic trading, breeding, farming, curing, and trade cycling are not included.
