Hearthstead: Biome Villages

Villages that look like a good builder made them.

Hearthstead rebuilds every vanilla village from scratch for the plains, desert, savanna, taiga and snowy biomes. Each one is a real little town: a central plaza with a fountain or covered well and the village bell, winding streets with lamp posts, fenced farms with water channels and scarecrows, a stone smithy and 8 kinds of homes.

• Timber-framed houses with sloped roofs and overhanging eaves, exposed beams, framed doors and window shutters
• Window boxes, flower beds, hedges and garden trees around every home
• Furnished interiors: beds with nightstands, tables and chairs, rugs, hanging lanterns, fireplaces, bookshelves, chests with village loot
• Paths with natural variation (gravel, coarse dirt, sandstone...) and plank bridges over water

White-plaster timber cottages with sloped roofs, overhanging eaves and flower boxes under the windows.

Flat-roofed sandstone houses with wooden vigas, surrounded by palm trees.

Warm mud-brick homes with hip roofs.

Steep dark-oak roofs and timber frames, built for the cold forest.

Slate roofs and spruce hedges under the snow.

• 100% vanilla blocks - no new textures or models; the whole mod is under 1 MB
• Villagers, professions (every job site block is there), iron golems, cats, trading and raids all work as usual
• Uses the vanilla village spots and ids: /locate structure minecraft:village_plains finds them, and other mods keep working
• Only new chunks get the new villages - safe to add to an existing world

Edit config/hearthstead.properties and set villageMode:

• REPLACE (default) - Hearthstead villages replace the vanilla ones
• BOTH - Hearthstead and vanilla villages generate side by side
• VANILLA - turn the new villages off without removing the mod

• Fabric (also Quilt), Forge and NeoForge on Minecraft 1.19 - 26.3 - pick the file for your version and loader. Fabric needs Fabric API.
• Datapack for vanilla 1.21 - 1.21.8: see the additional files of 1.0.0.
• Server and client side.
