Village Doctor
Right-click a villager with a Stethoscope for a full checkup — and a plain diagnosis of why it won't breed, restock, or claim a bed or workstation.
Villagers fail silently: no bed claimed, workstation stolen, not enough food, wrong time of day, item pickup switched off by a stray command. The game never tells you which one it is — Village Doctor does.
What it does
- Checkup — right-click a villager with the Stethoscope for a live-updating screen: profession and level, bed and workstation with distances, trades with a countdown until locked trades refresh, breeding readiness with every blocking reason spelled out, your reputation and its price effect, and warnings only when something is actually wrong.
- Outlines — shift-right-click a villager to outline it and its bed and workstation in one color, visible through walls and only to you. Each villager gets a clearly different color, and outlining a whole village turns its bell black.
- Owner lookup — shift-right-click a bed, workstation, or bell to see which villager(s) own it; the owner flashes for a few seconds so you can find them.
The Stethoscope
Craft it shapeless: spyglass + string + copper ingot. /villagedoctor stethoscope for ops only — configurable.
Optional config/villagedoctor.properties — permission level, outline limits and expiry, recipe and command toggles. Zero config needed by default.
Modded villagers
Everything works on any villager built on Minecraft's standard villager type — vanilla-style villager mods included. Custom NPC or trader mods with their own entity classes aren't covered, and wandering traders aren't villagers, so they aren't either.
Server support
Village Doctor is server-side — install it on the server and completely vanilla clients get everything, including the checkup screen. Works in singleplayer too.
Optional client module — the same jar also works on your client. With it installed, outlines upgrade to crisp wireframes that trace each block's real shape. Clients and servers mix freely across loaders — a NeoForge client on a Fabric server gets the upgrades. Vanilla clients lose nothing.
Quilt runs the Fabric jar, but needs Quilt Loader 0.30.0 or newer. Quilt may offer an older loader for 1.21.11; that one fails to start with a missing-fabricloader error.

The checkup screen Right-click a villager with the Stethoscope: bed and workstation, trade refresh countdown, breeding readiness with every blocking reason, and your reputation — all updating live. Every line click-copies. Server-side only. -
Outlines on wokrstations, beds, vilalgers, babies, and bells. Every villager outlined in its own color together with its bed and workstation — babies included. Outline everyone and the village bell turns black. All of it glows through walls, and only you see it. -
Crafting the Stethoscope Shapeless: spyglass + string + copper ingot. The result is a real Stethoscope — an anvil-renamed spyglass won't work. Servers can disable the recipe in config.
