Three interactions give nitwits and unemployed villagers a way back into useful work, all made from vanilla items. A player right-clicks a nitwit holding a blaze rod to convert it into an unemployed villager, which can then pick a profession. Right-clicking a nitwit with a block of iron turns it into an iron golem. The mod also changes how villagers recover from bad reputation: feeding suspicious stew to a villager clears its gossip, and the bell, bed and workstation work as meeting points where villagers can forgive each other.

The interactions work on adult villagers except nitwits, and each one consumes its item and plays happy particles with a sound. Suspicious stew, a blaze rod and a block of iron are the only items involved, so no new blocks or recipes are required. The mod is a lightweight Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.21.4, tested on that version, and it is server-side only, so clients need nothing installed. Released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, the code is open source and the public source repository is linked from the catalog.
