The village's evening: dinner at the campfires, rest on cushions, music, and breeding at bedtime. An add-on for my Villagers at Work mod.

About

Description

When the working day ends, villagers gather. Give the village campfires, cushions and a jukebox, and the evening becomes a meal and a party. The butcher, the fisherman and the farmer cook what they kept back from the day, the others sit around the fire and eat, and villagers who have eaten well may breed that night.

An add-on for my Villagers at Work mod.

📖 Full documentation: Villagers after Work on the wiki

🧩 Runs on NeoForge 26.1.2 through Sinytra Connector, as well as on Fabric. See Installation for the exact versions to install.

Principles

No blocks are added. The mod uses vanilla blocks only, so it is pure server side. Villagers at Work, installed in your game as well, shows villagers sitting, leaning back, lying down and eating.

Vanilla mechanics are still there. Turn bedtime breeding off and villagers breed as they did before the mod.

Setting it up

Place What it is for
Bell Villagers gather around it.
Campfire Dinner, and villagers gather around it. Any campfire on the ground under open sky.
Jukebox While it plays, villagers gather around it. With a shelf of music discs beside it, an unemployed villager plays records for the evening.
Cushion, carpet Villagers sit on it to rest, and one beside a campfire is a seat at dinner. Two side by side are for lying back.

The evening

Dinner. The campfires are lit when work ends. A campfire seats four, one on each side. The butcher brings meat, the fisherman fish and the farmer potatoes, or bread baked from its wheat, and they spread their food over the campfires so none stands empty while another is full. Each cook keeps only 8 food items for dinner: the village's orders always come first.

Resting. Villagers not at dinner sit upright, lean back or lie back with their hands behind their heads, on cushions, carpets and seats from furniture mods. It works under model packs such as Fresh Animations and Human Era.

Music. While a jukebox plays, most villagers go and stand around it.

Children sit, bounce on cushions and jump to the music.

Bedtime. Villagers go to bed one by one, and the last one up puts out the campfires.

Breeding

Villagers breed at night, in bed. Two well-fed villagers sleeping in beds side by side have a chance each night of a child, if there is a free bed for it. A villager is well fed once it has eaten 12 food points, as your hunger bar counts them. Under MCA Reborn the two must also be married to each other, and the child is born after MCA's pregnancy.
