Speaking Villagers - ChatGPT and TTS
Please read the full description before installation!
Speaking Villagers is a Minecraft modification that fundamentally transforms interactions with villagers. Now each villager has a unique personality, they are aware of their surroundings, remember your past conversations, and react to your reputation in the village.
Villagers don't just exchange lines - they can track your actions, equipment, and surrounding environment. If you befriend them, they may start following you around the world. In addition to regular conversations, villagers offer randomly generated quests, with successful completion strengthening your relationship.
All interactions are saved between game sessions and stored in the .minecraft/speakingvillagersmod folder. This data can be viewed and edited even without running the game, allowing you to create custom personalities for villagers.
Available commands:
/speak <message>- start conversation with nearest villager/setvillagerstyle <VillagerName> <Style>- change villager's character/befriend- manually befriend nearest villager/unfriend- manually end friendship with nearest villager
