About Villager Converting
From ModrinthVillagers attacked by zombies always get converted instead of dying.
Villagers attacked by zombies always get converted instead of dying. In v0.1.0, the villagers require a name in order to be guaranteed converted. In v1.0.0 and beyond, this is configurable. Required on the server for multiplayer, but also works in single player!
Configuration — villagerconverting.toml
You can configure the behavior of the mod from the villagerconverting.toml file within your server (or local instance for single player) config folder. As of v1.5.0, the config file will be generated _inside_ your world/save folder, as the configuration options have become world-specific. If you're on single player and have ModMenu installed, you can also access the configuration through the UI in ModMenu's mod list!
modEnabled: true|false - Simple toggle for the mod! When set to false, the villagers will fall back to vanilla behavior/probability for zombie-conversion.
requireName: true|false - When set to true, only villagers that have a custom name set (i.e. with a nametag) will be guaranteed to convert! Non-named villagers will fall back to vanilla behavior.
