🌱 Hands Off, Villagers!

Villagers are cute.
But when they start looting rare seeds like they're running a black-market flower ring — it's time to say no.

Tired of farmers hoarding torchflower seeds and pitcher pods they can't even replant?
Hands Off, Villagers! is a lightweight datapack that enforces healthy boundaries in your village.
Because not everything green belongs in their grubby little hands.

✨ What it does

This datapack removes:

• minecraft:torchflower_seeds
• minecraft:pitcher_pod

from the minecraft:villager_plantable_seeds tag.
This prevents villagers (especially farmers) from picking them up and stuffing them into their inventory forever.

✅ Features

• 🧠 Vanilla-friendly – no mods required
• 🎮 Client/server compatible – drop into any world or server
• 🎯 Focused – affects only two items
• 🎨 Custom icon included – so even your datapack list looks great
• 🆕 Minecraft 1.21.2+ supported

💡 Technical Notes

This datapack overrides: data/minecraft/tags/items/villager_plantable_seeds.json with a minimal seed list (excluding torchflower and pitcher pod).

If you're using other datapacks that edit the same tag, make sure to check compatibility or merge tag files accordingly.

🧩 Related Mods

Hands Off, Villagers! is fully compatible with the following mods by the same author:

• 🧭 Compass Cleaner — adds a minimalist recipe to reset a Lodestone Compass to a regular Compass.
  Ideal for tidying up obsolete compasses after you lose or remove their lodestone targets.

• 🔧 EnchantOnce — a minimalistic but powerful rework of enchanting and repairing.
  Fixed XP costs, enchanted book duplication, material-based repairs, and perfect gear cloning — all with vanilla-style mechanics.
  Fully supports custom gear and enchantments from The Block of Angel mod.

• 🌟 Pouch & Paper — introduces compact forms of tradeable resources for easier storage and trading:
  • paper (stackable and block form),
  • ink and glow ink (bottled),
  • leather (bundled),
  • seeds (in pouches),
  • feathers (as compact packs).
  Includes the Burnt Paper Block — crafted by setting a Paper Block on fire. It attracts creepers and repels bees, perfect for traps and moody builds.

• 🌟 The Block of Angel An exploration-focused mod that rewards curiosity and reduces repetitive grind — while keeping the core survival balance intact. Perfect for players who want each discovery to matter. Start with almost nothing — earn every shortcut.
  This mod transforms Minecraft into a world of meaningful adventure and artifact-driven progression. No grind, no farms — just clever tools, dangerous dungeons, and rewards you must conquer.

  • Progression-focused gameplay: leather armor, stone weapons, and real survival.
  • Unique tools: magnetic rods, precision builders, instant crop planters.
  • Legendary gear: 6 armor sets, powerful weapons, and upgrade paths.
  • Angel Block & Rod: sacred artifacts that protect and purify your world.
  • No custom UIs — pure, immersive gameplay.

  Ideal for adventurers who want to explore, survive, and earn their power — not dig tunnels forever.
