🆕 New Professions

🌲 Lumberjack

Workstation: Lumberjack's Workstation The Lumberjack is your go-to for all things wood. They buy and sell logs, saplings, sticks, charcoal, and other forest-related goods. Higher levels unlock scaffolding, flowering azaleas, glow berries, and even Nether stems. Their trades are partly biome-aware—a Lumberjack in a jungle village will offer jungle logs and saplings, while one in a taiga deals in spruce. They also accept bone meal as payment and will trade random leaf types and logs from all overworld tree species.

⛏️ Miner

Workstation: Miner's Workstation The Miner lives underground and brings the treasures to the surface. Low-level trades involve torches, coal, and iron, while you can later buy gold, copper, rails, and minecarts. At master level they sell diamonds and obsidian. The Miner also accepts charcoal in bulk, making them an excellent partner for your smelting operations.

🐝 Beekeeper

Workstation: Beekeeper's Workstation Everything bees and flowers. Early trades revolve around glass bottles and a wide variety of small and tall flowers—both buying and selling. Later levels offer campfires, honeycomb, honey bottles, and eventually honey blocks, beehives, and candles. A true friend for any builder or redstoner who loves floral decoration and sticky resources.

👴 Village Elder

Workstation: Elder's Workstation The wise Village Elder is a special utility villager. At novice level they will sell a customized Ominous Banner for emeralds and accept a “donation” (a full stack of emeralds) in exchange for a signed thank-you note—a fun, if expensive, collector’s item. Further trades include all common seeds, crops, string, wheat, quartz, phantom membranes, slime balls, and gunpowder. They are the village’s link to both farming and alchemy supplies.


🔧 Enhanced Vanilla Professions

  • Butcher – Now sells cooked mutton (level 4) and cooked beef (level 5), giving you a reliable source of ready-to-eat meat.
  • Leatherworker – Sells leather at level 1 and rabbit hide at level 3, making early-game leatherwork and bundle crafting easier.
  • Fisherman – Completely reworked: all raw fish trades are replaced with cooked cod, keeping you fed right from the docks.

🏗️ Workstations & Usage

Each new profession has a dedicated workstation block, crafted from simple ingredients:

  • Lumberjack: any log + iron axe
  • Miner: furnace + iron pickaxe
  • Beekeeper: beehive + shears
  • Elder: bell + emerald

Simply place the workstation near an unemployed villager and they will claim the job. All workstations are also found in the Tools & Utilities creative tab.


🏆 Advancements

Trade with each new profession to unlock a custom advancement:

  • Timber! – Trade with a Lumberjack
  • Deep Business – Trade with a Miner
  • Sweet Deal – Trade with a Beekeeper
  • Wise Investment – Trade with the Village Elder

⚙️ Technical Notes

  • Fully compatible with the acquirable_job_site point-of-interest tag – the new workstations are recognized by villagers without any extra steps.
  • Rotation‑aware blocks (Miner, Beekeeper, Elder) support all four horizontal directions.
  • Custom trade classes allow for dynamic offers like biome‑dependent items, random flower/log selections, and multi‑item emerald costs, all integrated seamlessly with vanilla trading mechanics.

Breathe fresh life into your villages and give your emeralds new purpose with Villagers Reworked!
