Minecraft Comes Alive Reborn Mod (1.21.1, 1.20.1) is a revival and continuation of the extremely popular Minecraft Comes Alive mod, allowing players to start a family and have children in Minecraft. With this mod, all villagers transform into real people—men and women of various professions and ages. You can interact with them, hire them for work, request help, and even create your own family.

When you visit a village, you can engage with the residents—chat, give gifts, command them to follow you or stay in place. As you interact with villagers, their trust level towards you increases, along with your overall standing in the village. If your partner’s trust level is high enough, you can propose marriage by gifting a wedding ring, establishing a family and having children.

You can expand the village by constructing additional buildings, increasing the population, and even earning income through taxation. Villagers can be hired for gold ingots to protect you from enemies or assist in gathering resources. While the mod is a remake of Minecraft Comes Alive, it introduces various improvements—trust levels are now calculated from multiple factors, meaning you can’t simply give excessive gifts to quickly win someone over and get married. Since it is based on Minecraft Comes Alive, it already includes an extensive Russian-language translation, including dialogues.

This is a large and complex mod that allows for village development, necromancy (reviving family members), character customization, and even selecting genetic traits and diseases.

Features:

Villager Interaction – Humanized NPCs

  • The mod introduces villagers with unique personalities and emotional states. Players can talk, trade, give gifts, flirt, or ask villagers to follow them. Each villager has a relationship value represented by “hearts.” Hearts measure affection levels; when the threshold is reached, players can propose marriage.

Relationship, Marriage, and Divorce System

  • When a relationship reaches 100 hearts, the player can craft a wedding ring and propose to the villager. The villager may accept or reject the proposal based on relationship level. The mod also supports divorce — players can meet a Cleric NPC to obtain a divorce paper, reducing any negative effects. This mechanic introduces social consequences and emotional depth into Minecraft’s world.

Childbirth and Family Development

  • After marriage, players can select the “Procreate” option to have a child (requires 100 hearts). The baby first appears as an item in the player’s inventory and matures into a walking, working child after about 20 minutes of gameplay. Children can be assigned tasks, making family relationships both functional and interactive over time.

Villager Revival and the Grim Reaper Mechanic

  • When a villager dies, the mod introduces a revival system. Players can confront the Grim Reaper to obtain a soul and a Scythe. The Scythe can revive a villager by right-clicking their grave, but this causes the revived villager to become infected. To safely revive villagers, players can craft the Staff of Life (combining a Scythe, End Rod, and Nether Star). The Staff revives villagers without infection, offering a choice between risky and safe resurrection methods — one quick but dangerous, the other resource-intensive but secure.

New Village Buildings and Structures

  • The mod adds numerous new village structures, such as redesigned houses, libraries, and markets. These enhance the aesthetic diversity and cultural feel of villages, making them more vibrant and immersive exploration hubs.

Gameplay Impact and Benefits

  • Villages gain depth and emotional investment. Villagers evolve from simple traders into characters with unique emotions and relationships.
  • Social interactions such as marriage, childbirth, and divorce create emergent storytelling — unique, memorable experiences within the player’s world.
  • New village structures enhance both visual appeal and functional gameplay, encouraging exploration and community-building.
