Why this pack?
Not many people have heard of this offensive caricature of jewish people, but the money-hungry merchant with a hooked nose portrayal is unfortunately a common stereotype that still affects many jews today. It's not fun to play a game where the characters look like they came from a 1960s propaganda poster. Hence, Better Villagers!

Unlike a lot of anti-antisemitic packs, this one does more than just remove the iconic villager nose: it gives them new facial features that are reminescent of Steve's. And this isn't limited to villagers either - the wandering trader, illagers and witch also received a glow-up. For pillagers, the Bad Omen effect and Totem of Undying were also changed.

Lastly, the pack tackles Iron and Snow Golems. The names have been changed to "Iron Giant" and "Snowman" respectively, and the Iron Golem has a new skin altogether, based on the Blast Furnace Golem concept.

Includes mod support for:

- Supplementaries.

The pack is currently for 1.19, but if you want to use it for 1.20+, extract the files and click on the "pack.mcmeta" document within the file, and simply change "pack format" from 9 to 10. I recommend editing the document with Notepad++ because it keeps the .mcmeta file.

What I like about this is that the removed noses doesn't look awkward at all, everything looks perfectly normal now. I'm still frankly shocked that Mojang claims to have so much concern over the messages their game teaches in its presentation of the world and functionality yet villagers are still the way they are (in both design AND functionality). Thanks for this!

Thank you. I have a feeling it's because of a lack of knowledge, personally.

Hello! I just wanted to say this is one of my favorite resource packs for Minecraft. I'm not Jewish yet (in the conversion process) but even still the antisemitic tropes found in Minecraft was one of the reasons I was so hesitant to begin playing at all. I honestly feel like this is a must-have for when you want a vanilla feel without the stereotypes.

I have one question! If I were to draw some Minecraft art using these textures as reference (not giving the villagers big noses, for example) would you want me to give credit/link to this page?

Credit would be great, just to increase the exposure pool. But not required! I'm glad you like the pack!

The truth is that I can't find anything that could be offensive. What is it about their noses being big?

jewish people are commonly portrayed in media as having hooked noses and being stingy with money or generally greedy. the villagers have large noses, used to have way more expensive buying prices for their items, and were introduced when notch was still in control of the game- who's well known to be a white supremacist and all-around dickhead, so it's kind of clear how it can be offensive if you know the context
