Pick Up and Transport a Villager Safely
How to Carry a Villager
Villagers are valuable for trading, but moving them traditionally requires leads or boats. With this mod, you can carry them by hand.
Steps:
1. Approach a villager with an empty hand (no items held)
2. Interact with the villager as you normally would
3. The villager will appear in your hand as a 3D model
4. Walk to your desired location
5. Right-click (or your place block key) to set them down
Protecting Villager Data
When you pick up a villager, all their information is preserved:
- Custom names you've given them
- Their profession and trade offers
- Their experience level
- Any enchanted books or special trades they hold
This means you can safely relocate villagers to a trading hall or new base without losing their trades or identity. The mod prevents them from taking damage or suffocating while carried, so there's no risk during transport.
