Minecraft villages have always felt a bit static once you've seen a few, but CTOV: Friends and Foes Compat Mod brings new life to them by merging two popular overhaul mods into one cohesive experience. This compatibility patch places copper golems and beekeeper villagers directly into CTOV's redesigned village structures, making settlements feel more populated and purposeful. With over 2.2 million downloads, it's clearly a must-have bridge mod for anyone running both CTOV and Friends and Foes together.
Key Features
- Copper Golems in Villages — Copper golems now spawn naturally as part of village generation, adding a new layer of charm and automation to settlements.
- Beekeeper Villagers — Villages can now include beekeeper villagers, expanding the variety of professions you'll encounter while exploring.
- Enhanced Village Interactivity — By combining elements from both parent mods, villages feel more dynamic and lived-in rather than just static structures.

FAQ
Do I need both CTOV and Friends and Foes installed for this mod to work?
Yes, this is a compatibility patch that bridges the two mods. You must have both the Overhauled Village (CTOV) mod and the Friends and Foes mod installed as dependencies.
Will copper golems and beekeepers appear in existing villages or only new ones?
These additions are part of village generation, so they will typically appear in newly generated villages. You may need to explore unloaded chunks to find villages with the new features.
Is this mod available for Minecraft versions newer than 1.20.1?
Currently, the latest supported version is 1.20.1. The mod was last updated in June 2023, so there are no newer ports available at this time.
