Frequently asked questions

How do I get the mod to name villagers that already exist in my world?
The mod automatically detects any unnamed villager and assigns a random name from its list, so existing villagers get named the next time they're loaded. Just walk near them or reload the chunk and they'll pick up a name.
Why do some villagers still have no name?
Villagers that already had a name (from a name tag or another mod) are left untouched, and villagers that haven't been loaded into memory yet won't be named until you get close to them. Move within render distance of them and the mod will handle the rest.
Can I rename a villager with a name tag?
Yes, using a name tag on a villager overrides the mod's assigned name and the mod will leave that villager alone from then on. The custom name stays even after the villager is reloaded.
How do I turn off female or male names?
Open the mod's config file and set _useFemaleNames or _useMaleNames to false. If you disable one list, only names from the other list will be used; if you disable both, villagers won't be named at all.
