Hi friends! You’re in good company here. I obsess over which villagers to add to my themed islands, which led me to creating all the villager lists. If you are here, you are working on a castlecore or medieval island. This is a huge undertaking! I am always blown away by how a natural deserted island transforms into an entire kingdom with stone buildings. It’s wild and I am very impressed by you.
Let me at least help you choose your villager lineup. There are so many cool and unique choices for medeival villagers. These are in no particular order.
