The Village Names mod backports modern village structures and villager skins, and assigns randomized names to villages and villagers and other structures and entities. The mod offers a lot of customization village generation and entity naming.

Some features developed over the years:

• A new village generator, able to place down road blocks other than gravel, and will even use certain backported Grass Path blocks in 1.7.
• Backported and custom village components
• Highly configurable village size and components
• Highly configurable syllable pools for name generation
• Custom name signs, banners, and preferred colors for each village
• A custom item (Codex) used to generate names for supported non-village structures, obtained either from giving emeralds and iron/gold to Librarians/Cartographers, or found as chest loot
• Configurable list for entities that can receive automatic names when spawning, or names assigned when right-clicked
• Villagers with skin tones that are based on their spawn biome
• Support for a career-like profession subdivision in 1.7
• Modified villager trade pools, and added "treasure" trades for Librarians and Cartographers
• Modular biome-and-profession-based villager outfits
• Backported Cartographer villager to previous versions, and Nitwit where able
• Backported Concrete and Glazed Terracotta to previous versions
• Backported Guardian, Monuments, and Prismarine to 1.7
• Backported Igloos to 1.7 and 1.8
