NeoVillagers
by ryu78
NeoVillagers gives villagers new professions, workstations and trades on NeoForge, and the additions are tied to the vanilla villager system.
What it does
The mod adds extra villagers, each with a job of its own, along with workstation blocks they use and trades they offer. Every new profession comes with its own advancements, so progress through the trading system is tracked in the same way as vanilla villagers. The additions are meant to extend the villager economy rather than replace it.
NeoVillagers also includes shortcut recipes that cut out intermediate steps. One example turns a single log directly into a Decoration Box or a fence, instead of going through the multi-step crafting chain that vanilla uses. Some recipes need only one ingredient to produce a block in a different quantity, which saves resources for players who build a lot.
The enchantment tools let a player recover an enchantment from an item, with the cost depending on the enchantment's rarity. Lapis is consumed in proportion to that rarity, experience is spent between one and four levels, and the enchantment level can drop on the recovered item. Eggs can be selected with a special element kind, and the mod is published for NeoForge only, for 1.20.6 – 26.1.2.

Players who build large decorative projects can use the shortcut recipes to gather fewer resources per block.
Who it’s for: The mod suits survival players and server owners who want more villager jobs and trades without changing the rest of the vanilla economy. Both the server and every player need the mod, because the environment is client and server.
