villager pov

What the mod adds

• Adds an Authority Gun you can craft with iron ingots, redstone, and gunpowder. Right-click a villager with it to intimidate them (you’ll see a “>:|” style face and a brief glow).
• Intimidated villagers become bound to you and will follow your orders via /villagerpov commands:
  • /villagerpov order follow – stay close to you.
  • /villagerpov order taxes – trail you and periodically hand over emerald “taxes.”
  • /villagerpov order mine – search nearby ores (small radius) and break them, dropping loot.
  • /villagerpov order hold – stop moving; /villagerpov order listen returns them to a passive listening state.
  • /villagerpov status shows the current task; /villagerpov release frees the villager from your control.

How it works

• Villager orders are tracked server-side per villager with a bound commander. The system reuses normal villager navigation to move toward you or their mining target and refreshes a slow/glow effect periodically while intimidated.
• Mining scans a small cube around the villager for ore-like blocks (experience-dropping blocks and ancient debris). The villager walks to a target ore before breaking it, swinging its hand and playing a break sound.
• Taxes are simple emerald payouts on a cooldown while the villager stays near you; items are inserted into your inventory when possible or dropped at the villager’s feet.

Limitations and notes

• Orders are not persisted across server restarts; villagers forget assignments if the world unloads.
• Mining focuses only on nearby ore blocks; it won’t dig tunnels or strip-mine open areas.
• The intimidation face replaces any existing custom name while the villager is under your control.
