How to Build Friendship and Relationships with Custom Villagers

Standard vanilla villagers are completely replaced in the Kinfolk Overhaul Mod by custom anime races inspired by Dragon Mine Z. Instead of only serving as simple trading posts, these NPCs feature a dedicated relationship system that allows you to make friends and build bonds over time.

Starting a Conversation

Because the mod improves NPC navigation, town residents will move around villages much more intelligently than vanilla mobs.

1. Locate a village in your world to find the custom character models.

2. Approach a town resident and press your standard interact key (right-click by default) to open the interactive dialogue system.

3. Use the dialogue interface to talk directly with the resident. If you have configured the optional ollama run llama3.2 command in your system console, you can engage in real-time text chats during this step.

Tracking Your Relationship Meter

Every town resident has a friendship and relationship meter tied to your interactions with them.

1. Watch the relationship and friendship meters displayed when interacting with an NPC.

2. Return to the same characters regularly and continue chatting with them to steadily fill these meters.

3. Check the character status menu to view various attributes alongside the custom anime models as your bonds with the community progress over time.
