Villages full of people: villagers become men and women with names, player skins
and families, and they stand up for each other.
----------------------------------------------------------------
FEATURES
----------------------------------------------------------------
People
- Every villager is a man or a woman with a player skin: Steve-style for men,
Alex-style (slim arms) for women.
- Each village stays close to half men, half women. That includes newborns,
spawn eggs and villagers already in your world.
- Every villager gets a random first and last name, also used in death
messages. A name tag still renames them.
- Name tags are always shown: name, job and health, for example:
Jennifer Cole
Armorer
40/40
- Children are half size.
- No more "hmm" sounds: when hurt or killed.
Families
- Only a man and a woman can have a baby, whether they breed on their own or
you feed them.
- Their first baby makes them partners for life: she takes his last name, and
so does the baby.
- Partners only have children together while both are alive, even when far
apart or turned into a zombie villager.
- If one partner dies, the other may start a new family. A widow takes her new
partner's name; her earlier children keep their father's.
- A zombified and cured villager is still the same person.
Health and fighting
- Adults have 40 health, children 20. Everyone heals 1 health every 2 seconds
after 10 seconds out of combat.
- Adults fight back against mobs and players that hurt them, in armor and with
a sword (leather and stone by default). They hit like a player with that
sword. The gear never breaks or drops and is gone after the fight.
- Help comes one villager at a time. Each hit a villager takes has a chance to
call one helper (10% on the first hit, 20% on the second, up to 60%).
- At half health a villager stops fighting and runs. Every hit it takes while
running calls one more helper for sure.
- Villagers calm down 10 seconds after the fighting stops, or when the
attacker is far away.
- Children never fight (they always run).
Iron golems
- 30% faster, 25% stronger, and spot enemies from 32 blocks (can be turned
off).
- Golems still spawn the normal vanilla way.

Without HQ the mod works exactly the same.
----------------------------------------------------------------
COMPATIBILITY & NOTES

- Changes vanilla villagers. It doesn't add new ones, so villages, trading
and jobs work as normal.
