The Neighborly Mod adds a wonderful new social element to Minecraft by introducing friendly NPC neighbors with whom you can interact and build homes. With unique characters to get to know and a reputation system, this mod encourages forming bonds within a thriving neighborhood.
Mod Overview:
The Neighborly Mod populates the Minecraft overworld with neighbor NPCs that spawn in specific biomes fitting their personalities. For example, the cheerful unicorn Sparkle spawns in savannas, while the mysterious sloth Jasper prefers dark forests.
To initiate a conversation, simply right-click on a neighbor. Each has dialogue that changes daily, so frequent discussions are rewarded with new lines and a bit of XP. As you consistently chat, your reputation score with that neighbor will rise, unlocking gifts when maxed out.
The heart of the Neighborly Mod is the ability to construct personalized houses for the neighbors and invite them to live in your community. After reaching a certain reputation level, crouch-right clicking a neighbor will reveal the materials necessary for their dream home blueprint.
Gathering the items requested and inserting them into the blueprint crafts that neighbor’s unique spawn block. You can then position the blueprint where you want the house built, with its door side indicating the orientation. Right-clicking constructs the cozy abode in moments!
The Neighborly Mod also implements fun ways to transport, like equipping a wrench to lead them or carrying their blueprint block. If a neighbor unfortunately dies, they drop a spawn egg to revive them later without lost memories.
