Talking Villagers

Villagers, witches, wandering traders and illagers talk – with real recorded voices instead of “hmm”.

Download Record your own voice

It's a pleasure to see you! I really like you! Who will I torture today? Do you want to buy something?

There! Get them! You look funny! Wololo! See you!

Talking Villagers gives the mobs of a village real voices. They greet you, gossip, complain about the rain, scream for help when zombies come, whisper while hiding from a raid – and illagers taunt you in battle. With subtitles of what they say, if you like.

The voices come in voicepacks: single .voicepack files you drop into the game. Anyone can record their own in the browser with the web editor.

Beta

Version 2 is a beta for testing. Back up your worlds before trying it. See Beta notes.
