Totem Villagers
by Yunitrish
Totem Villagers turns village trading into a working economy in which villagers carry physical goods, workstations and food, and the sales that players make move real items through the village.
What it does
Villagers take on professions such as farmers, fishers, butchers, librarians, cartographers, toolsmiths, miners, lumberjacks, fletchers, masons and leatherworkers. Each profession gathers, harvests or processes goods, and the stock of its trades depends on what that work produces. Each worker carries a personal inventory that survives restarts, and tasks run against loaded workstations using the server's present recipes. Changes to data packs therefore change what is produced and sold.
Builders erect supported vanilla village-house templates within their assigned work zones, laying down materials one stage at a time, and the chests they finish get stocked with generated loot. Guards are set up at Guard Posts built from real iron blocks and carved pumpkins, and they can summon Iron Golems. Villagers trade needed materials with nearby workers, so local production stays connected.
The mod runs on Fabric and needs Fabric API. It is published for 26.2 and 26.3, with 0.1.39 for 26.3 as the latest file, and is released under the Apache License 2.0, which makes it open source. Installation covers the server and each player's game.
Key features
Profession-based production
Farmers, fishers, butchers, miners and lumberjacks gather or harvest real materials that feed the village economy.
Processing professions
Fletchers, masons, leatherworkers and woodcutters turn gathered goods into the items the village sells.
Enchanting through real materials
Librarians rely on an enchanting table within reach, supplied with genuine books, lapis and gear, to produce precisely enchanted items.
Hunger and tool wear
Workers pause when hungry and tools wear down, so food and maintenance become part of running the economy.
Crafting-based conversions
Processing choices follow valid player crafting recipes, such as five planks to one iron ingot, rather than a separate fixed list.

Turn village trading into an economy you can watch at work. Villagers carry physical goods, tools, food, and emeralds; gathering and production determine what they can sell. Each worker has a persistent personal work inventory. Sell offers depend on merchandise actually present, and sold-out rows disappear instead of…
