I made a Bounty Board mod for villages! (Village Bounties)
Hi everybody! After a decade+ of playing MC, I figured I should finally make my own mod!
This mod is called "Village Bounties" It is a lightweight Minecraft bounty mod / village quest mod that adds bounty boards and bounty board structures to villages, giving players simple quests to complete while exploring their world.
Find a board, accept a bounty, hunt mobs or deliver items, earn rewards, and bring a little more purpose to every village you visit.

Currently available for NeoForge 1.21.1, NeoForge 1.21.4, and NeoForge 1.21.8, making it perfect for modern NeoForge modpacks.
Currently working on newer versions (26.1, etc.)
I know there is a certain other mod that does a similar thing, but I promise you there are a few key features in Village Bounties that make a huge difference:
1. Simpler: The GUIs, structures, and overall design is much easier to follow. Clear rewards, clear bounties.
2. Immersive & Vanilla Friendly: Every structure and bounty is designed to fit the village and biome it is in. Fits perfectly in vanilla plus, realism, or immersive modpacks.
Structures and bounties are designed to feel like they belong in Minecraft.
3. Better spawning! (This is a big one): My bounty board structures are NOT replacing any village structures. They also only spawn 1 per village.
No more villages overrun with bounty board structures. No more village buildings replaced with bounty boards. Much less weird placement or spawning.
4. No time limit!: The other few similar mods have an unnecessary time limit for bounties, which just reduce the fun factor. No longer, take as much time as you want!
5. (Almost) fully configurable: Don't like an aspect of this mod? Change it! Change it immediately, in-game with the in-game config. No more game or mod reloading. Super easy!
6. Configurable rewards: Don't like the reward? Change it! You can change it to any minecraft item or modded item.
Modpack compatibility:
Village Bounties works well with most lightly modded villages. Villages that are very different from vanilla villages may not work perfectly, but in my testing, many modded villages still worked.
Modded biomes can affect spawning more than modded villages. Bounty boards may still spawn, but they can sometimes appear in weird places or not generate correctly. I am working on better compatibility for this in future updates.
It is meant to be lightweight, client-friendly, server-friendly, and modpack-friendly, especially for vanilla+, RPG, exploration, adventure, and realism-style modpacks.
Feel free to use this mod for ANY modpack! Credit is appreciated, but not required.
My goal is to make Village Bounties feel like a natural village quest / bounty system for Minecraft without adding too much complexity.
This is my first mod ever, and I am working on it constantly. Feel free to leave a comment on the Curseforge and I'll be sure to check it out!
