Villagers: ReWorked
by GrizzleNL
Villagers: ReWorked adds four new villager professions and reworks several existing ones, with workstations and trades for each.
What it does
Four new professions join the game: Lumberjack, Miner, Beekeeper and Village Elder. Each has its own workstation, and the mod's trades and custom advancements are themed to match. Existing Butcher, Leatherworker and Fisherman trades were changed too. The Butcher now sells cooked mutton at level 4 and cooked beef at level 5, a steady source of ready-to-eat meat. Leather is sold by the Leatherworker from level 1, and rabbit hide joins the stock at level 3, so the early leatherwork set comes together with less effort. Raw fish trades for the Fisherman were replaced with cooked cod, so players near docks stay fed.
Workstations are made from familiar blocks: a log with an iron axe for the Lumberjack, a furnace with an iron pickaxe for the Miner, a beehive with shears for the Beekeeper, and a bell with an emerald for the Village Elder. Workstations are also listed in the Tools and Utilities creative tab. Placing a workstation near an unemployed villager assigns that job. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, for 1.20.1 only, under All rights reserved, and the mod is not open source.
