LqDFx's WaxedWorkstations
by LqDFx
LqDFx's WaxedWorkstations lets players wax workstation blocks with Honeycomb so villagers can no longer claim them.
What it does
Shift-right-clicking a Honeycomb-waxed workstation or jobsite block removes it from the villager point-of-interest system, which keeps villages from claiming it. Each workstation counts toward the number of villagers with that profession, so a waxed block stops acting as a job site. Shift-right-clicking the block with an axe reverses the process and lets villagers claim the workstation again.
The mod covers the Blast Furnace, Cartography Table, Brewing Stand, Fletching Table and Smithing Table, and it works with vanilla workstation blocks as well as other modded workstation blocks that are registered as points of interest. It is tested in single-player worlds and runs on dedicated servers. Files are published for NeoForge, for the game versions 1.21.1 and 26.1 – 26.2, and the mod is released under the MIT License as open source.
Key features
Wax workstations with Honeycomb
Honeycomb wax turns a workstation into a block that villagers cannot claim, so a player's setup stays in place.
Reverse with an axe
An axe used on a waxed block returns it to the villager system, letting a village claim the workstation again.
Covered workstation types
The waxing applies to the Blast Furnace, Cartography Table, Brewing Stand, Fletching Table and Smithing Table.
Modded workstation support
Workstation and jobsite blocks from other mods work when they are registered as points of interest.
