Frequently asked questions

Why aren't visitors spawning in my village?
Visitors require at least 6 local villagers and 1 iron golem present in your settlement before they'll start appearing. Check your population using the Visitor Checker item or the /visitors check command to confirm you meet these minimums.
Do I need to build extra beds for visitors to stay?
No, visitors don't require beds or workstations—they arrive in the morning and leave at sunset automatically. You only need the initial 6 villagers and 1 iron golem to trigger spawning.
How do I count how many visitors are in my town?
Right-click the Visitor Checker (Chat) item to see a quick count in your chat window, or open the Visitor Checker (Book) to view population numbers in an enchanted book interface that updates each time you open it.
Can I control how many visitors spawn each day?
Yes, adjust the maxSpawnsPerCycle setting in the configuration file to limit visitors per spawn cycle, and use visitorSpawnPercentage to change the spawn chance based on your town size.
What do the specialized traders like Mineworkers and Lumberjacks sell?
Each specialized job type brings unique items relevant to their profession, and biome-themed traders offer exclusive goods matching their environment—check the mod's screenshots or visit your town at dawn to see what traders arrive.
Do baby visitors do anything besides run around?
Baby visitors are primarily visual and add life to your settlement by exploring and running along town paths; they don't trade or perform tasks like adults do.
Can I force visitors to spawn for testing?
Yes, use the command /visitors population <qty> <radius> to spawn a set number of visitors in a chosen area for testing purposes.
Will this mod work with my custom resource packs?
Yes, the mod uses base game character models, so custom animation resource packs function out of the box without compatibility issues.
How do I remove visitors if they're causing lag?
Use /visitors clear <radius> to remove all current visitors within your chosen block radius, or adjust maxWanderingVisitors in the config to limit total visitors in the area.
What happens if I remove my iron golem or villagers?
Visitors will stop spawning if you drop below the required minimums (6 villagers and 1 iron golem), and existing visitors will leave at sunset as normal.
