DJ Villager
by exline
With DJ Villager installed, a villager that works next to a jukebox can take up a music profession and start trading in discs and note blocks.
What it does
DJ Villager adds a new villager profession. A villager becomes a DJ when a jukebox is placed close to it, and from then on it offers trades in variety music discs, which lets players widen their in-game music collection. Some DJ villagers also buy note blocks from players, a second trade that adds to the options at their stall. The profession is meant to make village life more lively, with music that gives the settlement a steady beat.
The mod connects to the existing villager system rather than replacing it, so the profession fits into the trading and job-site behavior vanilla villagers already follow. It is a Fabric mod for client and server, so every player who joins a server running it needs it too. Files are published across eight release versions, and the latest Fabric file is 1.0.0 for 1.21, dated 2024-06-21. The code is not open source, and all rights are reserved.
Key features
DJ villager profession

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who want more music in their villages and servers, and server owners who would like an extra villager profession with trades in discs and note blocks. Because the mod adds a profession on top of the vanilla system, it suits survival worlds that already use villagers for trading.
How it compares
Balanced Villagers also works on Fabric for client and server, but covers 1.20.1 – 1.21.11 and is released under All rights reserved, so its license matches DJ Villager. Villager Reroller is a client-side only Fabric mod under the MIT License, covering 1.20.1 – 26.3, so players can install it alone without any server change. Quick Villagers is server-side only under the Apache License 2.0, so players join without installing anything on their side.
