## Features
- Pick up a villager with an empty bucket
- Textures depending on Villager region. Only if they have head decorations (Snow, Desert, Swamp and Savanna) - Both mod and server side only plugin!
- Works with Wandering Traders and Zombie Villagers!
- Information about the specific villager is saved, nametag, job, trades etc
- Item lore with information about the specific villager in the bucket
- Custom advancements! - Mod only
- Support for collecting and dispensing the villager with a dispenser

To use this mod just get an empty bucket and right click a villager! It's that easy.
### Requirements
~~This mod requires the (https://modrinth.com/mod/architectury-api) to be installed along with the mod~~
As of 1. 20. 1-1. 2. 0 and 1. 20. 2-1. 1. 0 Architectury API is no longer required. Only earlier versions of the 1. 20. 1 and 1. 20. 2 builds require it, any possible 1. 19. X or earlier builds do not require it (May be coming in the future).
### Configuration
There are currently two options in the config file which can be found in `
`enable-zombie-villager` sets whether a Zombie Villager can be picked up in a bucket. It does not remove the Zombie Villager In A Bucket item when disabled. Default is `true`
#### Plugin
Old config settings have been deprecated in favour of using permissions. Please read https://github.com/JustDoom/VillagerInABukkit/wiki/Configuring-using-permissions
```yml # Should the dispenser be able to pick up or place these villager types. Since players use permissions to determine this # a config option is used here dispenser: villager: pickup: true place: true wandering-trader: pickup: true place: true zombie-villager: pickup: true place: true
# Should the server ask the client to download a resource pack when they join resource-pack: true
# The below options are commented out so that it uses the right resourcepack version for the minecraft/plugin version by default # If you want to override it/manually use an updated resourcepack you can uncomment and override them
# The URL to download the resource pack from #resource-pack-url: "https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/9tf9GGch/versions/ZBgqIN0Y/VillagerInABukkitPack.zip" # The SHA-1 hash of the resource pack ZIP #resource-pack-hash: "f2d4dd5bf8ee221234b738236099b2592c58b8e8" # The ID for the resource pack. Please do not touch unless you know what you are doing #resource-pack-id: "68a4b411-e409-4d89-b563-66049ba4914b"
