Troubleshoot Visitors Not Appearing
Check Your Settlement Requirements
Visitors only spawn if both conditions are met:
1. Count your local villagers using a Visitor Checker—you need at least 6
2. Verify you have at least 1 iron golem nearby
If either count is too low, recruit more villagers or build/spawn an iron golem.
Verify Spawn Conditions
- Time of day: Visitors only spawn at dawn. Use
/time set dayto skip to morning if needed - Distance: Visitors spawn near your settlement. Stay within render distance or they may not appear
- Spawn cycle: The mod checks for spawns at intervals set by
spawnCheckIntervalSeconds.
Reset and Test
If visitors still don't appear:
1. Use /visitors clear 100 to remove any stuck visitors
2. Confirm your villager and golem counts with /visitors check
3. Run /visitors population 5 50 to force-spawn 5 visitors within 50 blocks for testing
4. Use /visitors reload to refresh the configuration
If force-spawning works but natural spawning doesn't, check your config settings—spawn percentage or cycle limits may be too restrictive.
