Homesteads - Villager Expansion & New Professions

Homesteaders are new villagers that prefer to build their own paths and homes in the wilds of the overworld instead of living in villages. The mod adds five professions: Beekeeper, Lumberjack, Trapper, Prospector and Forager. Each has its own trades, such as saplings and wood items for the Lumberjack, leather and meat for the Trapper, honey and bee-related goods for the Beekeeper, ores for the Prospector and flowers for the Forager. Each profession is found in particular biomes, for example forests, swamps and taigas for the Lumberjack and Trapper, or badlands and caves for the Prospector.

The job site blocks for these professions are craftable and come with new structures that generate in the wilds. A Lumberjack's log, a Tanning Rack and a Honey Bottling Station each serve one profession, and a dedicated workstation for timber refining and a Woodworking Log for cutting planks into building shapes support the wider settlement. The mod is intended for survival play in the overworld.
