Extra Professions
by aws404
Extra Professions adds extra villager professions to Fabric worlds, along with workstations and village buildings where those villagers can work.
What it does
Villagers gain additional professions beyond the vanilla set. Each new profession comes with its own workstation block, and village buildings are generated so that the new villagers have a place to work. Players who explore villages find the added roles in ordinary trading, and the workstations appear in the world without any crafting step.
The mod fits survival worlds, adventure maps and multiplayer servers that want more varied villages. Fabric API is required and must be installed alongside it. The mod is open source, with its source code and issue tracker public, and it is released under CC0 1.0 Universal, which places the work in the public domain. Files are published for Fabric 1.18.1 only, with 1.1.0 as the latest build, released on 2022-02-23. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too.
Key features
Extra villager professions
Villagers can take up professions that are not part of the vanilla game, widening the roles found in villages.
Profession workstations
Each added profession has a matching workstation block that villagers use to set up their trades.
Village buildings
New village buildings are generated for the added professions, so the new villagers appear in towns the player finds.
Fabric API dependency
The mod uses Fabric API for its hooks and needs it installed next to Extra Professions.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Varied villages
Worlds with the mod show more professions in villages, which makes trading spots feel less uniform.
Adventure maps
Map makers who build around villages can place buildings and workstations that match the added roles.
Who it’s for: Players and server owners on Fabric 1.18.1 who want more villager roles and village buildings in their world, and who accept that the mod is limited to that single game version.
How it compares
Private Villagers is server-side only, not open source, under the MIT License, and published for 1.21.8 – 1.21.11, so it targets a much later game version. YANDO's Villager Names is server-side only and open source under the MIT License, covering 1.16.4 – 1.21, but it changes villager names rather than professions. Radzi Lone Villagers is server required with client optional, under All rights reserved, for 1.20.1 – 1.21.11.
