YANDO's Villager Names

In the world of Minecraft, we encounter numerous different creatures. Most of them are either peaceful or aggressive. However, only two can be considered your true allies: tamed wolves and village residents (no, cats don't count—they don't care about you at all).

Village residents are very useful, although they sometimes behave rather foolishly. We rely on them for trading, farm automation, and creating iron golems. But they rarely receive the recognition they deserve. Of course, you can give them names using name tags, but is that REALISTIC? Does it IMMERSE you in the atmosphere? NO!

The goal of this mod is to breathe more life into your game. Every resident that appears in your world will receive a random name from a list containing over 6000 options that you can customize as desired. This way, each of these big-nosed characters becomes a personality, not just an object. And you'll feel guilty pushing them into lava just because you didn't like their trade offers.
