About

Description

Village Buff

Village Buff is a Fabric mod that improves Minecraft villages by making blacksmiths and villagers significantly more rewarding. The goal is to make villages feel like valuable places to explore throughout your world instead of something you loot once and forget.

Features

🛠️ Enhanced Weaponsmith Chests

Weaponsmith chests have been completely overhauled with better and more useful loot.

Possible loot includes:

  • 💎 Diamonds
  • 🪨 Obsidian
  • ⛏️ Iron and Diamond tools
  • ⚔️ Iron and Diamond swords
  • 🪙 Large amounts of Iron Ingots

The loot is distributed across multiple loot pools to create more natural-looking chest contents.

📚 Valuable Enchanted Books

Village tannery chests can now contain powerful enchanted books, including:

  • Unbreaking III
  • Mending
  • Efficiency V
  • Silk Touch
  • Protection IV

These books provide players with a reason to continue exploring villages even into the late game.

🤝 Improved Villager Trades

Weaponsmith villagers now offer several powerful custom trades.

Current custom trades include:

Level 1

  • Iron Sword → Diamond Sword
  • Diamond → Diamond Block

Level 2

  • 2 Diamond Swords → Netherite Upgrade Smithing Template
  • Netherite Upgrade Smithing Template → 2 Netherite Upgrade Smithing Templates

These trades are designed to provide unique progression options and reward players who invest in villagers.

Why Village Buff?

Vanilla villages are useful early on but quickly become obsolete. Village Buff gives players a reason to keep exploring villages by improving chest loot and adding meaningful villager trades while keeping the vanilla feel intact.
