Villagers actually get identities, with names which are randomly assigned and both male and female genders. The Minecraft Comes Alive mod is about more than just making villagers talk though.
It’s not like they have long-winded conversations with you or anything, but simple greetings and farewells sound a lot better than the constant “Hnh, Hrrhh” sounds the villagers normally make.
They can actually talk for starters, which is awesome if you’re one of the many Minecraft players who are tired of hearing the hushed grunts and groans of vanilla villagers. But with mods like Minecraft Comes Alive, it’s possible to make villagers a lot more realistic. It offers trade, a good source of food, a bunch of empty homes to take your pick from and more, which is why years after they were implemented, people are still looking for these massive villages full of dull villagers.
Despite the fact villagers are so boring and one dimensional it’s still nice finding a NPC village in Minecraft.
