Recruiting & Ownership

Villager Overhaul uses recruiting to assign ownership. Most mod features are only available to the player who recruited the villager.

How to recruit a villager

  1. Find a villager.
  2. Right-click the villager to open the Recruit screen.
  3. Pay the emerald cost and confirm.

Note

Recruit cost is based on all of its stats

What ownership does

Most mod actions are enforced server-side via an access gate:

  • Non-owners cannot use your villager's rerolls/settings/commands, even if they try to spoof packets.
  • UI buttons may be hidden client-side, but the server check is the real authority.

Recruit cost (high level)

Recruit cost is computed from the villager's stats and the server's configuration.

  • Cost is paid in emeralds.
  • Server owners can change min/max costs and can disable modules (which also affects which stats count toward recruit cost).
