villager-workstations
by keyboard2005
Villager Workstations lets a placed workstation block hire a villager and assign it work within its own area, using two station types for farming and ranching.
What it does
Two villager workstations are added. Placing one of them hires a villager that works the ground around it. The Ranch Station is used by a rancher who breeds animals, culls surplus, shears sheep and milks cows, while the Farm Station is used by a farmer who tills, sows and harvests. Everything collected goes into the station's own storage, and sneak right-clicking a station opens its settings. Fabric API is required, and the mod is licensed under the MIT License as open source. It runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it, and files exist for 1.20.1.

What the author says
Ranch Station — the rancher breeds your animals, culls the surplus, shears sheep and milks cows. Everything it collects goes into the station. Farm Station — the farmer tills, sows and harvests. It plants whatever seeds you put in the station, at whatever ratio you set, and the produce goes back in.
