Settler Villager
by askerliali3
Settler Villager lets a player hire a villager who builds structures from a plan, placing blocks one at a time while the player watches.
What it does
A player hires the Settler Villager by right-clicking a Noble Villager trader of level 2 and paying 24 emeralds. Holding Ctrl while right-clicking the settler opens the build menu, where a structure is picked and its required blocks are listed before work starts. Taking the plan in hand shows a live hologram of the full structure, so a player can check it before committing. Automatic foundations fill the gaps under a build on sloped terrain.
The settler walks to the planned position and starts working, placing roughly one block per second. It takes its materials from a Building Materials chest, so a player fills that chest and the work continues through it. Schematics can be imported as .nbt files in game, and builds can be saved with the vanilla Structure Block. Unlike the Builder settler of the Workers mod, this settler is not tied to a work area.
Installation needs Villager Workers, which is listed as a required dependency. The mod runs on Forge for 1.20.6 and is also published for 1.20.1 – 1.20.5 across six release versions. Installation covers the server and each player's game. The code is under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later and is not open source.
