NPC Logistics
by STvN_Net
NPC Logistics lets players hire worker NPCs that collect, craft and deliver items along programmable routes they set up in a GUI.
What it does
Logistics Worker NPCs run item-collection and delivery routes across chests, barrels and other storage. A route is a chain of Collect, Craft and Deposit stops, and each stop can filter items by quantity, with full stacks or partial amounts. Crafting Tasks take a worker through complete gather, craft and deposit cycles, with as many as 8 rows assigned to each worker. Players can also set up automated crafting pipelines without moving items by hand.
Each worker can take an autonomous Role. A Farmer works a field by tilling, planting and harvesting, then refills seeds from a chest it is linked to, while a Shepherd cuts wool from sheep nearby and places it into a storage container. Workers also find an assigned Bed Token shelter after dark, and the sleep behavior can be turned off per worker so it works around the clock.
Installation needs Fabric API on Fabric. The server is required and the client is optional, so players can join without the mod while the server runs it. NPC Logistics is open source under the MIT License and is published for Fabric across six game versions, 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, with 1.1.8 for 1.20.6 as the latest file.

Small craftable tokens are placed on chests, crafting stations or storage blocks to mark where each stop happens.
