About Overhauled Villages
Firstly, this mod is also known as ChoiceTheorem’s Overhauled Village, as it was developed by ChoiceTheorem. It was also originally a Datapack but has since been converted into a mod for both Forge and Fabric.
The slideshow above shows just a few of the new Villages included with the mod. But in total, there’s 23 to come across, and some of these are overhauls of the existing Vanilla Villages, and new ones themed around other Biomes.
In general, they’re a lot more interesting than Vanilla Villages, due to the size of them being increased. Different styles of blocks are also added to match the surrounding Biomes, although no new blocks or items are included with the mod.
When it comes to Pillager Outposts, these have received lots of changes. There are different variants that might make them look like Forts, Homes, Towers, Ruins, and more. Whereas in Vanilla Minecraft, all Pillager Outposts look the same.
Alongside the standard Pillager Outpost, additional ones are available for the following biomes: Beach, Dark Forest, Desert, Jungle, Mesa, Mountain, Plains, Savanna, Snowy, Swamp, and Taiga. In total, expect to find 14 different Pillager Outpost variants.
