Thief

This mod significantly complicates the process of robbing villages, requiring players to carefully plan before committing illegal actions. It extends Minecraft's standard reputation system by adding new mechanics for influencing relationships with villagers and introducing a witness system.

Crime Mechanics

The modification features three levels of offense severity: Light, Medium, and Heavy. Each of them decreases your reputation among all villagers who witnessed the crime. Heavy offenses lower reputation to the point where iron golems begin attacking the player.

Crime recording rules:

• Iron golems (and guards, if Guard Villagers mod is installed) attack players for medium and heavy offenses if they witnessed the crime themselves
• Crimes are only counted in "protected" structures — by default, villages only
• Villagers perceive any block destruction as theft, even if the player placed them originally

Types of Offenses:

Block Destruction: Light: crops, hay bales, lanterns, campfires Medium: chests, barrels, job site blocks, beds Heavy: bell

Object Interaction: Medium: opening chests and barrels

Killing: Medium: pigs, sheep, cows, chickens, cats, horses, donkeys, mules, llamas

Beds: Light: evicting a villager from their bed Medium: sleeping in a bed claimed by a villager

Witness System

For a crime to be registered, witnesses must see the player committing it. Detection distance is influenced by stealthiness — sneaking, low light levels, and invisibility potions help remain unnoticed.

Reputation System

Within the crime mechanics framework, reputation is divided into seven levels:

• Hated: iron golems protect the villager and attack the player
• Unwelcome: villager refuses to trade
• Distrusted: price increases (vanilla mechanic)
• Neutral
• Accepted: light offenses are ignored
• Respected: medium offenses are ignored
• Honored: heavy offenses are ignored

Increasing Reputation

Besides standard reputation enhancement methods (trading, curing zombie villagers), players can:

• Give gifts to villagers
• Defend the village from raids
• Using an emerald while holding Sneak key allows giving it to the villager to improve relationships
• Looking at a villager while holding an emerald shows current reputation level

When committing a crime, the average reputation from all witnesses is calculated — treating villagers well can save you from consequences.

Additional Features

• Fixed bug where Shift+Click during trading gave fewer reputation points
• Full customization of all mod aspects
• Active development and regular updates
