Introducing: Villager Names!

Features:

Villager Names [1.20x], with inheritance! Minecraft Data Pack
- All Villagers now have their own names!
  • Names are chosen from a pool of nearly 2 million names.
    You can never run out of them! (famous last words lol)
  • Villagers can also be named after Mojang Employees, or some well-known people too!
- Baby Villagers inherit their family name!
  • The child will keep the mother's last name when they first came into the world.
  • Sometimes the child will make their own family though.
- Works well with my other datapacks!
- Works in Multiplayer!

Notes:

- "Mojang Employees" is technically not correct here.
  • I just took names from the Credits, manually go through them all for inconsistencies/duplicates, then add what I got to the pool of names, as my way to give credits to those who made the game.
  • I just don't have a good word to make that bit of the description short, so that'll have to do.
  • If you got something nicer to replace that then feel free to let me know.

Final words: I spent far too long editing this than I'd like to admit.
Support me on Patreon so I can make more stuff like this!

Thank you for reading everything! I actually have no secrets to show you this time,
so here's a little fun trivia: I originally made this post at the coldest time of year, shivering behind the screen half the time.

6 Update Logs

Version 20c1 : by TheDiamondPlayables 12/11/2023 11:21:23 amDec 11th, 2023

Changes:
- Is now designed for Minecraft 1.20.3, and 1.20.4!
- "/nameless" changes:
  • Due to MC-267259 completely evicerating custom name removals,
  • "/nameless" now tries its best to mask the name instead.
- For the same reasons, masked naming will also be applied to the Zombie Villager mechanic as well.
  • This is a temporary solution while I wait for progress on MC-267259.
  • It's a relatively new issue, so I'll try to be a bit more hopeful on it first.
- Removed excess data from the head seen in the root advancement.

does it only assign names to newly born/spawned villagers?

is there a way to force names to already existing ones?

Naming an existing Villager "/rename" will give them a new name.

the command isn't even available for me
is it because the server is version 1.20.2?

You'll need to Name Tag the Villager for that to work.
