Download the mod from Modrinth or CurseForge.<br \/>\n2. Place the downloaded mod file into the `mods` folder of your Minecraft server.<br \/>\n3. Restart the server to apply the changes.<\/p>\n<p>## Configuration<\/p>\n<p>Is there something you want to change about the mod?<br \/>\nCheck out the config file that is generated after the server has started.<br \/>\nYou will find it under `config\/villager-pickup.json`.<\/p>\n<p>After making changes, you don&#8217;t have to restart! Just use the `\/villager-pickup reload` Command.<\/p>\n<p>## Usage<\/p>\n<p>Simply shift right-click on a Villager. The villager will be converted into a spawn egg.<br \/>\nYou can place them down again afterward.<br \/>\n![](https:\/\/raw.githubusercontent.com\/Living-Lemming\/Villager-Pickup-Mod\/refs\/heads\/main\/img\/mod-preview.gif)<\/p>\n<p>## Contributing<\/p>\n<p>Contributions are welcome!
