(A Data Pack for Minecraft 1.16.2 - 1.16.5.)
Highlights:
- Glass-domed villages on the floor of deep oceans
This data pack adds villages to ocean floors. Specifically, you can now find villages on the floors of deep ocean biomes, their residents contendedly living their lives within glass-domed enclosures that protect them from the crushing weight of the sea.
The domed villages, as you'd probably expect, have a bit more of a "high-tech" look than do regular villages. At the same time, though, I had to design the domes' interiors without stairs, slabs, or fences, as such items become "waterlogged" if auto-generated in water, so some of the interiors aren't as "polished" as I'd like. For that same reason, you'll find barrels in the domes containing the sorts of things you'd normally find in village chests, but you won't see any actual chests.
Villagers in underseas villages can appear with any of the various villager skins, including the unused jungle and swamp villager skins. (Undersea research stations have international crews, I guess?)
I should also mention that while I took great pains to try to ensure that the villages' terrain would always seem natural, or at least deliberate, it's simply not possible to allow for everything that might happen in world generation. In particular, if a village generates too close to shore -- as can happen pretty easily, given how small vanilla oceans tend to be -- you might find that part of the village is in a "hollowed out" area beneath the land. Sadly, there's nothing I can do to prevent that sort of thing.
You can use "Undersea Villages" in the vanilla game, or with my "Sky Islands" or "Water World" data packs.
NOTE: If you're using this data pack in conjunction with a version of "Sky Islands" or "Water World" which replaces the overworld, this pack *must* load first, which counterintuitively means it needs to be *below* the other data pack in your list!
"Undersea Villages" is compatible with other of my own data packs that alter vanilla biomes, as they're all designed to work together. However, it's probably not compatible with other mods or data packs that alter vanilla biomes, especially if they add new structures.
For those who care about such things, the undersea villages are designated as bastion remnants. That's probably a good thing to know if you're trying to use the "/locate" command to find one.

Anyway, I wanted the underseas villages to have a unique aesthetic, and not just look like they were filled with plains village exiles. Lacking any way to create brand-new villagers (and not wanting to try to create new graphics), I opted for the "international" theme.
But not with optifine, optifine allows to place plains textures restricted to a certain biome, in the case of those from the ocean
Look this resource pack Extra Villagers or mine Human Villagers. Without optifine it is not possible, I believe, except for mods.
It works like this:
Look, in floating villages everyone has an ocean skin
Not in the sub-aquatic villages, however, since they are spawn with other skin, only those who are randomly spawn with plain skin that stay with ocean skin.
This could be even better! We could put a "beach skin" for those who spawn above sea level (floating villages) and an "atlantic skin" (underwater villages)!
Personally, I like the "international" look, though, and in any event, I don't want to require users to have installed Optifine just to avoid having nothing but boring plains villagers, not least because I don't use Optifine, myself.
I'll need to see if I can figure out an "easy" way to allow villager appearance to be configured. It would be *so* nice if data packs could have *actual* configuration options!
In the meantime, as a "quick fix" for your own purposes, the solution is pretty simple. The template pool that generates villagers in underseas villages is located at data/seavil/worldgen/template_pool/villagers.json, so if you edit that file to remove the non-plains villagers, the underseas habitats will have the "look" you want.
Anyway congratulations on your work, I really appreciate it. See you my friend
Obviously, since I have no idea what you do or don't already know, I'm not sure if that answer will be enough to help you. If it's not, let me know, and I can try to fill in the gaps. :)
Villagers in underseas villages no longer all look like plains villagers. Undersea research stations have international crews, I guess, and so the villagers now draw from all of the existing villager skins, including the unused jungle and swamp villager skins.
But THAT IS what I really need! Awesome work! Love your terrain generation too!
There's nothing in the undersea villages that you can't find in regular vanilla villages, except of course for the building materials, and while dark prismarine and sea lanterns are nice, they don't really offer any advantage beyond the aesthetic, so I doubt that having access to a lot of them is a balance issue.
If you're talking about crafting stations, well, none of them are really hard to make, anyway. So once you find *any* village, even a small one, you can easily make whatever stations are missing, and get whatever villager professions you want for trading. So, again, I don't really see that finding an undersea village would offer any "practical" advantage over finding a conventional one.
But I certainly don't claim to be able to think of everything, so if there's something I'm missing, by all means, please point it out, and I'll see what I can do to adjust things as necessary. :)
It looks from his screenshots like Baroque's domes are at least in part two glass blocks thick. Mine are only a single block thick. No particular benefit that I can see one way or the other; it's just an aesthetic difference. And while I haven't actually checked, I doubt the domes are even the same sizes in the two packs.
My domes have predominantly glass floors, where Baroque's are prismarine. I used glass in an effort to minimize the possibility of slimes spawning within domes and corridors.
Baroque used iron doors with pressure plates. Unfortunately, villagers can't path through those, and so are effectively "trapped" in whichever dome they spawn in. Where I use doors -- and many of the domes in my pack don't in fact have doors at all -- I use doors that villagers can actually open.
Because of the "haphazard" manner in which Baroque's domes generate, which mimics the way vanilla villages generate, many of the domes in his villages have doors that open directly to the ocean. My structured design allowed me to avoid that issue. The only way in and out of my undersea villages is via deliberately-designed tunnels and entry "pools" that mimic the systems used in real-world underwater habitats.
None of this is meant to suggest that my pack is in any objective way "better" than his. I'm just pointing out that they're different.
Again, I was inspired to create this pack because of Baroque's work, but this pack is in no way a copy of his work. The two are completely different realizations of the same idea.
However, if you actually look at the villages in the data packs, you'll see the the execution is very different. The domes in my villages follow a structured pattern, whereas in "Abyssal Villages," they connect more haphazardly. My pack constructs a consistent terrain beneath and around the domes, where Baroque's pack simply puts the domes on whatever terrain already exists. In "Abyssal Villages," the domes enclose vanilla-style buildings, where in "Underseas Villages," the domes *are* the buildings, with an aesthetic which, I believe, better fits the theme. There are of course other differences, as well, but I trust you get the idea.
Look at the villages constructed by "Abyssal Villages," then look at the villages constructed by "Underseas Villages." You may like his better; you may like mine better. But other than the fact that they both feature large glass domes, you'll find that they have very little in common.
They look AWESOME!!!
Since bastion remnants only generate in vanilla in the nether, if you're using this data pack in a vanilla world, that feature will be an undersea village. If you're using this data pack in conjunction with "Sky Islands" or "Water World," though, you might have to check several bastion remnant locations before you find one that's an undersea village, since those packs have bastion remnant structure features, themselves.
