About
Speaking Villagers adds AI-powered conversations to Minecraft villagers, letting players chat with them by text or, optionally, through microphone speech recognition. Villagers respond in context to the player's equipment and condition, the biome, weather, time, nearby mobs and structures, and their friendship or reputation, while more than 8,000 personality combinations help distinguish individual characters. Players can build friendships with villagers, who can follow them more reliably, and take on procedurally generated quests, including 176 gather quests with 210 profession-based rewards. Villagers can pick up player-dropped gifts, comment on them, and drop gifted items if they die; they also retain configurable memories of past conversations. The mod offers 23 English, German, and multilingual voices, and its settings let players adjust speech, memory, language preferences, awareness, and other options; AI responses use a player-provided Mistral or OpenAI API key. Text-to-speech and voice recognition have Windows-specific requirements, and voice recognition requires additional setup.

No harmful code found in the parts we could check
We checked its files and read their code, without running it.
One of its files for recent versions cannot be checked: its author does not let other sites download it from CurseForge.
What it can do on your computer
- Records from your microphone
- It can record sound from a microphone. Voice chat mods do this.
- Uses folders outside the game
- It can read or write files outside your Minecraft folder, on the rest of your computer. Found: your user folder and application data.
- Starts other programs
- It can start another program on your computer. Found in the mod's own code and in code libraries built into it.
- Connects to the internet
- It has code that can go online, for example to check for updates, load skins or send crash reports. Found in the mod's own code and in code libraries built into it. See Privacy
- Creates settings files
- The mod keeps its settings in the config folder of your game, where you can change or delete them.
- Sends the text you write to Mistral and OpenAI
- The code calls an AI service over the internet, for example to write text or make images. You provide your own key.
Why we show this: a mod runs on your computer like any program, so harmful code in it can take your accounts or files. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade, and a Warning in a latest file for a recent Minecraft version lowers it.
How we checked
- FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.13 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. The answer above is about the 4 for recent versions. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. 1 of them is not checked yet. See each file in Releases
- Their codeWe turn the code of the files back into readable code and follow what it does, without running it. This shows what it downloads, what it sends and where your login goes.Read without running it
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares that the project reads or edits things on your system outside the game. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when this applies.Nothing declared about your system outside the game.
- Records from your microphoneRecords with the sound tools built into Java.
- Uses folders outside the gameUses the system folder for application data.
- Sends the text you write to Mistral and OpenAI

Privacy
Sends data we could not identify
Sent to an address built while the game runs.
We found this in its code, read without running it.
We have read the code of 3 of its 4 files for recent versions.
It can record from your microphone. See Security
Why we show this: a mod can send things about you over the internet, like your player name or your login. Contacting an address to check for updates or download files sends nothing about you. Not in the grade: sending data can be normal for what a mod does.
How we checked
- Files readWe read the code without running it. We list each web address the code contacts while you play, and what it sends. Code that is never used is left out.The code of 3 of 4 files, for recent Minecraft versions. See each file in Releases
- Address built while the game runsThe code builds this address while the game runs: it is not written in the file.Purpose not known.Data we could not identify: the code sends something, but not a kind of data our checks can name
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares crash reports, usage data and advertisements. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a project collects data on its users or shows advertisements.Nothing declared about crash reports, usage data or advertisements.
AI
The author writes that AI was used
ChatGPT is named in the images in its files.
Can use AI in the game
Can send the text you write to Mistral and OpenAI (you provide your own key).
We found this in its code, read without running it.
Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI, and AI in the game can send what you write to an online service. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
How we checked
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a substantial part of the code is AI output, when an asset is mainly AI output, or when the project or its page relies on generative AI.No AI content or AI features declared.
- Description and changelogsThe description, project page and newest changelogs: sentences saying an AI tool was used, and text pasted from an AI chat.The author writes: “Talk to villagers in Minecraft with AI-generated responses, build friendships, and receive dynamic quests!”5 of 40 changelogs read
- Its filesCredits and texts in the files you download that name an AI tool.Nothing found
- Images in its filesHidden data in the images of the files you download, where AI image tools write their name and settings.An image names ChatGPT in its image metadata
logo.png - Code of the modThe code and files of the mod, read without running it: addresses of AI services, AI libraries, AI model files and a place for your own AI key.Can use AI in the game:67 code files read
- Can send the text you enter to Mistral and OpenAI. The address is written in the code of the mod.
- Can talk to AI services that work like OpenAI's. You or the author choose which one.
