How to make villagers run from the player? (Willing to learn how to code)

I want to make the villagers run from the player similar to how they do from zombies. How could I do this? I'm willing to learn how to code, but I've never written a line of code in my life so I don't know where to start. Thanks!

I know I'm way too late, but this is what I've seen most mods do (I think you need custom code unless MCreator supports EventBusSubscribers):

Make an EventBusSubscriber class and annotate it as such with @Mod.EventBusSubscriber
make a @SubscribeEvent method that takes EntityJoinLevelEvent as its event
Check if event.getEntity() is an instance of AbstractVillager (Or just Villager if you only want villagers to run and not other non-villager villagers like Wandering Traders)
If the entity is an AbstractVillager, add an AvoidEntityGoal to the entity which avoids your custom one
