Villagers in vanilla don't remember you, and you don't remember them. With Townsfolk: Friends, you will remember your friends.
How it works
- When you get close to a villager (within 5 blocks), the mod records that you’ve “met” them.
- That info is stored per player: your list of villagers you’ve met, with name, profession, biome, and when/where you first and last saw them.
- Press J (or use the key you’ve bound) to open your Villager Journal: a GUI that lists every villager you’ve met, with a small head preview, name, and profession. Scroll to see more; tooltips show biome and other details.
- It’s a player journal, not villager-to-villager friendships. There’s no relationship strength between villagers, no friend groups, and no AI that makes villagers seek or prefer each other.
Features
- Villager journal: One list per player of all villagers you’ve been near, with name, profession, and biome.
- Persistent: The list is saved per world so it survives logout and restarts.
- Lightweight: No new dimensions or heavy systems; only “this player has met this villager” and the journal GUI.
- Standalone: Works with vanilla; no other Townsfolk mods or buildings required.
- Optional cross-mod: If you use other Townsfolk mods (e.g. naming), the journal can show the names those mods give; the core feature is still “who have I met.”
Works great with Townsfolk: Tenants, the mod where you build hotel rooms for villagers and collect emeralds as rent. Tenants with friendships feel more like a real community.
