v1.0.0 for MC 1.21

Warning

This version is intended to work with Minecraft 1.21 (using Spigot API version 1.21-R0.1-SNAPSHOT) and will likely not work with earlier versions. In particular, the villager meat items themselves use the new (added in Minecraft 1.20.5) item components system to determine info such as the food value of the items.

Important

The plugin has been renamed from BillzoVillagers to VillagerMeat.

If you are updating from a version of this plugin before this one, follow these steps to keep your configuration data.

1. In your Minecraft server files, browse to /plugins/
2. Rename the folder BillzoVillagers (which contains all your existing configurations) to VillagerMeat.
   • If the VillagerMeat folder already exists (because you started the server with the new version before performing these steps), then go ahead and delete it (it just contains the default configs provided if no existing configuration files were found) before renaming the folders.

Changes

• Updated to Minecraft 1.21
• Plugin renamed to
• Added new config file items.yml
  • You can modify the item data (name, lore, food nutrition, food saturation, etc.) of the villager meat and wandering trader meat items here
  • Removed config options villagermeat.food_points and villagermeat.saturation_points from config.yml. These options have been superseded by this new system.
• Removed command aliases /toggle_vdm, /vdm, and /villager_death_messages for the command /toggle_villager_death_messages.

Fixes

• Eating villager meat no longer erroneously fills your saturation to the maximum

v0.6.0...v0.6.1

v0.6.0 for MC 1.20.4

Changes

• Much fancier death messages for villagers. Death messages now use Minecraft's vanilla translation keys for death messages. This means villager death messages will be formatted similarly to player death messages, and these death messages will be translated appropriately to any individual player's Minecraft client language.
• Naming
  • Removed guaranteed surname hyphenation for now.
  • Villagers' middle names can now be chosen from both the first and last name lists.
  • Added a random chance for villagers to get a complete random last name instead of taking one of their parents. This should help with villager communities being made up of all the same last name if they are all bred from the same two villagers.
  • The list of possible villager names has been separated out (from config.yml) into its own config file (to villager_names.yml).
    • The plugin should migrate the old name list to the new location automatically. (It will also make backups of your config files in case it messes up)
• Death messages sent to DiscordSRV no longer contain a footer with the coordinates of where the villager died.
• Villagermeat hunger values are now configurable in config.yml. I plan to add more stuff to the config down the road as well.
