Village Employment
by EnderPreston
Village Employment lets players dress up as villagers, with costumes for many villager professions and the Wandering Trader, all set up on Forge for 1.18.2.
What it does
Costumes are crafted from armor pieces and cover the look of villager professions such as the Leatherworker, Mason and Toolsmith, with aprons worn on the left or right side. Some costumes carry special traits: the Wandering Trader costume is obtained by killing a Wandering Trader or found in village chests, and a full set can make a villager grant Regeneration when trading. The Iron Golem armor and the Testificate outfits are the other costumes that give player effects.
Some costumes have effects in combat. A wearer can ride Ravagers, though those mobs still attack in Survival mode, and a Vindicator costume lets the player summon an evoker fang circle or Vexes with a key press. Wearing the Pillager Captain flag can give the Bad Omen effect, and the costume that makes the wearer invisible at night only works while the traderCostumeInvisibility gamerule is set to true. Armor pieces are heavy and slow the player, while outfits are purely cosmetic.
