As well as the Witness system.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<p>### Overview:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>### Crime: <\/p>\n<p>There are three severities of a crime you can commit: **Light**, **Medium** and **Heavy**, each is lowering your reputation with all Villagers that saw the crime. **Heavy** crimes lower reputation to the level where Iron Golem will attack the player. <\/p>\n<p>Iron Golem *(and Guard, if Guard Villagers is installed)* will attack the player for Medium and Heavy crimes, if they themselves saw the player doing it.<\/p>\n<p>Player needs to be in a &#8220;protected&#8221; structure for the action to count as a crime. By default that&#8217;s only villages.<\/p>\n<p>_Note: Villagers are not that smart, and will think that the player is a thief, even if the player placed the block themselves before breaking it._<\/p>\n<p>#### List of crimes:<\/p>\n<p>Block breaking:<br \/>\n&#8211; **Light**: Crops, Hay Bale, Lantern, Campfire.<br \/>\n&#8211; **Medium**: Chests, Barrels, Job-site blocks, Beds.<br \/>\n&#8211; **Heavy**: Bell.<\/p>\n<p>Block interaction:<br \/>\n&#8211; **Medium**: Chests, Barrels.<\/p>\n<p>Killing:<br \/>\n&#8211; **Medium**: Pig, Sheep, Cow, Chicken, Cat, Horse, Donkey, Mule, LLama.<\/p>\n<p>Beds:<br \/>\n&#8211; **Light**: kicking the Villager out of their bed.<br \/>\n&#8211; **Medium**: sleeping in a bed that is claimed by a Villager.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>### Witness:<\/p>\n<p>For a crime to be registered &#8211; witnesses must see the player commiting it. <br \/>\nDetection distance is influenced by player&#8217;s **stealthiness** &#8211; **sneaking**, **low light level** and **invisibility potion** can help remain unnoticed.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>### Reputation:<\/p>\n<p>For the crime mechanic, reputation is now split into levels:<br \/>\n&#8211; **Hated**: Iron Golem protects the Villager and will attack the player.<br \/>\n&#8211; **Unwelcome**: Villager will refuse to trade with the player.<br \/>\n&#8211; **Distrusted**: Prices are higher (vanilla).<br \/>\n&#8211; **Neutral**<br \/>\n&#8211; **Accepted**: Light crimes are ignored.<br \/>\n&#8211; **Respected**: Medium crimes are ignored.<br \/>\n&#8211; **Honored**: Heavy crimes are ignored.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to lowering reputation by commiting crimes, or hitting\/killing Villagers (vanilla), players can also increase it by defeating a raid, giving **gifts** and vanilla ways such as trading or curing a Zombie Villager.<\/p>\n<p>_When commiting a crime, average reputation will be calculated from **all witnesses**, to decide whether the crime could be ignored. Treat your Villagers well._<\/p>\n<p>#### Gifts:<br \/>\nUsing an Emerald while holding _Sneak_ will give it to the villager and improve their reputation with the player.<br \/>\nLooking at a Villager while holding an Emerald in hand will show a tooltip with current reputation level.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Reputation Tooltip\" src=\"https:\/\/raw.githubusercontent.com\/mortuusars\/resources\/main\/media\/thief\/reputation_tooltip.png\" width=450\/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8211; Mod also fixes a bug where player receives less reputation from trade when items are Shift+Clicked.<br \/>\n&#8211; All aspects of the mod are configurable.<\/p>\n<h1> <\/h1>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Discord Server\" src=\"https:\/\/raw.githubusercontent.com\/mortuusars\/resources\/main\/media\/banners\/discord.png\" width=500\/><\/p>\n<h1> <\/h1>\n<p>#### Enjoying the mod?
