More Life: Villagers

Give every villager a life.

Minecraft villages can look incredible, but once you've finished building them, they can still feel strangely empty.

More Life: Villagers changes that.

Give villagers their own homes, workplaces and daily routines. Let them walk through the streets you built, visit markets and parks, follow custom routes and return home at night.

All while keeping villagers vanilla villagers with their normal professions, trades and behaviour.

🏠 Create Custom Locations

Create completely custom areas for your villagers.

A location can be a house, workplace, market, park, tavern, town square or anything else you build.

Locations aren't limited to simple rectangles. Draw custom boundaries around your builds and select the floors and heights villagers are allowed to use.

🕒 Give Villagers Daily Routines

Create schedules that determine where a villager should be throughout the Minecraft day.

For example:

07:00 — Leave home
08:00 — Go to work
12:00 — Visit the market
13:00 — Return to work
18:00 — Walk through town
20:00 — Return home and sleep

Schedules automatically follow Minecraft time and continue working across server restarts and chunk reloads.

🛣️ Make Villagers Use Your Roads

Built an entire road network through your city?

Villagers can actually use it.

Choose which blocks villagers are allowed to walk on and More Life will prioritize your configured walking network instead of letting villagers simply cut across places they shouldn't.

Create custom routes and waypoints when you want even more control over exactly how villagers travel through your world.

🌍 Shared Locations & Routes

Create places such as a Market, Park, Town Square or Tavern once and let multiple villagers use them.

Routes can also be shared, making it possible to create roads and walking routes used throughout an entire village or city.

🎲 Make Every Day Feel Different

Schedules don't always have to send a villager to exactly the same place.

Create weighted choices that allow villagers to choose between multiple destinations.

A villager might spend one afternoon at the market and another walking through the park.

🚶 Walking & Patrol Routes

Create routes villagers can continuously follow during part of their schedule.

Perfect for city walks, guards, workers, harbour routes or simply adding more movement to your streets.

When the next scheduled activity begins, the villager automatically continues with their new destination.

🌙 Homes & Sleeping

Allow sleeping inside a location and villagers will look for an available bed within that area at night.

This allows the house you built for a villager to actually become their home.

⚠️ Villagers Still React to Danger

Schedules don't make villagers ignore the world around them.

When zombies or other relevant threats appear, villagers can interrupt their current activity and flee.

Once the danger has passed, they determine what they should currently be doing and continue their routine.
