Popularity

Villagers should have a popularity variable which will cause villagers to crowd around villagers with efficient trades, and also follow players when they hold valuable items, but to make this more fair each village has the same variable that will progressively increase making the resources that lure villagers progressively more rare and few in numbers until the popularity in the village stops, this would encourage players to find new villages as the current villagers would no longer follow the player easily, the reason i suggest this is as an early game alternative to other options you have to get valuable items but once you do for a long period of time villagers will follow you if you have something they want, or follow their friends with valuable items, to visually display better trades and to cause groups to pop up making fame and a lively environment feel real, just try it in a beta and see how it goes, if it doesn't go well you can scrap it. ❤️
