Villagers Tasks

Each profession works on its own schedule. The Butcher culls surplus livestock when more than 10 adult animals gather within a 5-block radius, leaving the vanilla drops on the ground, which makes animal farms easier to keep balanced. The Cleric heals injured villagers nearby, so a village can recover after attacks or accidents. The Farmer breeds adult animals close by, letting farms grow over time while staying within vanilla breeding rules.

The Mason produces weighted resources every 10 seconds, ranging from common cobblestone to valuable ores such as diamonds. The Fisherman places a fish barrel every 30 seconds using the vanilla fishing loot table. The Shepherd shears adult sheep within a 6-block radius every 60 seconds and drops wool that matches each sheep's color, and it holds wolves off the flock at a distance. Sheep regrow wool by eating grass, as in vanilla. The Nitwit performs one of four purely cosmetic animations every 15 seconds, with no effect on gameplay.

The mod runs on the server, so only the server needs it; players can join without installing it. It is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt. The latest builds are for 26.3, and game versions 1.21.9 – 26.3 are covered, with snapshot builds published as well.

Villagers Tasks is also available as a data pack, and the .zip file goes into the world's datapacks folder, followed by a world reload.
