Description:
This addon makes villagers drop a new Villager Meat item and experience when they die: each villager will drop 1–3 pieces of Villager Meat at their death location and spawn XP orbs you can collect. Villager Meat appears in your inventory with its own icon and name and is edible, so you can pick it up and eat it for sustenance. To use the mod, simply kill or otherwise kill villagers to harvest meat and XP; the item behaves like a normal food item in survival.
Mod Wiki
Villager Harvest
Quickstart
- Install the
.mcaddon and apply both the Behavior Pack and Resource Pack to your world.
- Find a villager in any village (or spawn one).
- Kill the villager — 1–3 pieces of Villager Meat and 3 XP orbs drop at the villager's location.
- Walk over the orbs to collect XP, then pick up the Villager Meat and eat it to restore hunger.
That's all there is to it — no crafting required.
Overview
Villager Harvest turns villagers into a harvestable resource. Every time a villager dies, it drops a custom food item called Villager Meat along with experience orbs. The meat functions like any standard food in Survival mode: pick it up, place it in your hotbar, and hold the use button to eat it.
What It Adds
| Item | Description |
|---|
| Villager Meat | A custom food item dropped by villagers on death. Stackable up to 64. |
How To Use
- Getting Villager Meat — Kill any villager. Each kill drops 1 to 3 pieces of Villager Meat and 3 XP orbs at the death location.
- Eating Villager Meat — Hold the item in your hand and hold the "use" button (right-click on Java-like controls, or the eat button on touch/controller). It takes about 1.6 seconds to eat.
- XP — Walk over the dropped XP orbs to collect them, just like orbs from any other source.
Abilities And Mechanics
Villager Meat — Food Stats
| Stat | Value |
|---|
| Nutrition | 3 hunger points |
| Saturation modifier | 0.4 |
| Eat duration | ~1.6 seconds |
| Max stack size | 64 |
The saturation modifier means Villager Meat provides moderate saturation — similar to other basic meat foods — keeping your hunger bar full for a reasonable amount of time after eating.
Drop Rates
Every villager death (regardless of cause) guarantees:
- 1–3 Villager Meat (random, uniform distribution)
- 3 XP orbs
Both the meat and orbs drop at the exact location where the villager died.
Progression And Strategy
- Early food source — If you settle near a village, Villager Meat offers a renewable food supply without needing to set up an animal farm right away. A single villager kill can yield up to 3 food items.
- XP farming — Each kill grants 3 XP orbs, making villager farms a supplemental XP source alongside mob grinders or smelting operations.
- Trade-off — Killing villagers reduces your local trading pool and can anger Iron Golems, so weigh the food and XP gain against the loss of trading partners before harvesting freely.
