About the mod

Villager Names gives all unnamed villagers a pre-defined name. This will name old and new spawns in the world. The mod contains a list of 5000+ names, one of which will be randomly chosen whenever an unnamed villager is detected. The profession of the villager is also visible on the trade screen. You can also use your own custom name lists, see below. There are various config options available to determine what should and shouldn't be shown on the villager trade screen. Professions will be localized in the game language.

The mod can also name modded villagers! Let me know if you've found a villager-like entity that's not named so I can add it to the list.

Use the list of pre-defined female names when naming villagers.

useDefaultMaleNames  default true
Use the list of pre-defined male names when naming villagers.

useBothCustomAndDefaultNames  default false
Disabled by default. Whether both custom and default names should be used to name villagers. Custom names will probably not be chosen often due to the amount of default names.

Whether the profession should be added to the villager's trade screen next to their name.

switchNameAndProfessionTradeScreen  default false
If enabled, switches the name and profession on the villager trading screen. Result: - .

Whether the merchant level (novice, apprentice etc.) should be hidden on the trade screen.

Description

Version 2.0 adds custom name lists:
When first loading the mod, it'll create a file in your .minecraft folder in /config/villagernames/ called "customnames.txt".


You can add as many names as you want to this list. Just make sure they're separated by a comma (the new line is not necessary). Make sure that "useCustomNames" in the config is enabled.
