Requirements

~~This mod requires the 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

Mod

There are currently two options in the config file which can be found in <minecraft directory>/config/villager-in-a-bucket.properties.

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

# 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

  wandering-trader:
    pickup: true
