I tried installing MCAR on my 1.18.2 server but it's not working properly. I managed to create my character, choose destiny, and I got transported to some random plains village, but all the villagers there are basic Minecraft villagers, and I can't interact with them except to trade.
I'm running Forge 40.1.73, Architectury 4.9.83 and [Forge 1.18.2] MCAR 7.3.17. I also tried to run [Universal 1.18.2] MCA Reborn - 7.3.20 but the problem remained.

Existing villagers are not replaced. Either find a newly generated village or convert zombie villagers.

Is this a new world or did you added the mod afterwards?

I added the mod afterwards to an existing world.
