Troubleshooting Missing Mobs in CTOV Villages

If you explore custom CTOV villages and only find vanilla villagers and iron golems, check your loaded files and chunk history to resolve why Friends and Foes mobs are missing.

Checking Mod and Data Pack Status

1. Confirm that both the CTOV mod and the Friends and Foes mod are loaded in your Forge or Fabric instance; this compatibility pack mixes their content and requires both to work.

2. Open chat in a world with cheats enabled and run /datapack list to verify the compatibility data pack is listed as enabled rather than disabled.

3. On a multiplayer server, verify the pack is installed on the server itself, since village generation and natural mob spawns are handled server-side.

Testing in Newly Generated Chunks

1. Make sure the village you are checking was not discovered before you enabled the pack. Minecraft generates village structures and initial spawns permanently when chunks first load.

2. Travel into completely unexplored terrain to generate a fresh CTOV village, then check around the town for beekeeper villagers and updated copper golem structures.

3. To verify your setup quickly, start a temporary Creative world, fly to the nearest custom village, and confirm the extra mobs appear.
