Professional Butler

🎩 Professional Butler

Tired of spending hours grinding raw materials, sorting messy chests, or placing thousands of blocks by hand? Professional Butler introduces a complete survival-friendly estate automation and worker management system to Minecraft 1.20.1, centered around a brand-new villager profession: The Head Butler.

Place a Service Bell next to your storage chests, hire your Butler, and transform your base into a self-sustaining estate where specialist villager crews harvest, mine, farm, craft, smelt, build schematics, and defend your territory—even while you are offline or exploring another dimension!

🔔 Getting Started: The Service Bell

1. Craft or acquire a Service Bell and place it near your Chests or Barrels (and optionally a Furnace and Item Frame).
2. An unemployed Villager will claim the Service Bell as their workstation and don the Head Butler tuxedo!
3. Trade with your Butler to level them up from Novice to Master, unlocking Service Contracts, Architectural Blueprints, and the Master Estate Seal.
4. Service Bell Controls:
   • Right-Click the Bell: Instantly recalls your Head Butler back to the estate hub.
   • Sneak + Right-Click the Bell: Safely dismisses all active summoned Workers, Constructors, and Sentinel Golems, returning their borrowed tools and armor straight into your bound chests.

📜 Specialist Worker Contracts

Hand a contract to your Head Butler to dispatch dedicated specialist workers who pull tools from your bound chests and deposit every harvested resource right back into storage:

• 🪓 Lumberjack Contract (Logging): Chops down nearby trees from top to bottom, replants saplings automatically, and swaps to Shears to harvest intact Leaves, Vines, or foliage whenever your builders need them.
• ⛏️ Quarry Miner Contract (Surface & Quarry Mining): Clears overburden dirt and grass with a Shovel before excavating Stone, Cobblestone, Sand, Clay, and Ores with a Pickaxe. Prioritizes the exact raw minerals needed by active construction crews!
• 🌾 Estate Farmer & Rancher Contract (Farming): Harvests and replants mature crops (Wheat, Carrots, Potatoes, Beetroots, Nether Wart, Sweet Berries), uses Shears from the chest to shear Sheep for Wool and harvest Honeycomb from full Beehives, and breeds your livestock using surplus crops.
• 🛡️ Bodyguard Escort Contract (Combat Escort): Summons a loyal tactical guard that equips the best Armor, Shield (rendered visibly on their off-hand forearm!), Sword/Axe, and Bow/Crossbow from your chest.
  • Hybrid Ranged & Melee AI: Dynamically swaps to Bows/Crossbows (with full Enchantment and Arrow support) to snipe flying Phantoms, distant monsters, and Creepers safely before they can explode, then switches to Sword + Shield-Bash knockback in close quarters.
  • True Threat Detection: Defends you and your workers against standard monsters as well as aggravated neutral mobs (like Polar Bears, Spiders, Wolves, and Endermen).
• ⚙️ Auto-Crafter & Smelter Contract (Auto-Crafting): Keeps your Head Butler at the Bell managing nearby Furnaces, smelting ores/sand/stone, crafting items displayed in an adjacent Item Frame, and automatically crafting missing blocks and replacement Worker Tools (from Diamond down to Wood!).

🏗️ Blueprints & Custom Schematic Building

Build preset structures or import your own .schem, .schematic, or .nbt creations!

• Built-In Estate Blueprints:
  • Starter Hut
  • Storage Shed
  • Cozy Cottage
  • Perimeter Watchtower
  • Grand Manor
• Custom .schem / .nbt Support: Drop any WorldEdit/Litematica exported .schem or .nbt file into config/probutler/schematics/, rename a Blank Blueprint (or any Blueprint) in an Anvil to match the file name, and your crew will build it block-for-block!
• 3D Particle Footprint Preview: Hold a Blueprint and look at the ground to see a live particle bounding box showing the exact size and rotation before you build.
• Interactive Bill of Materials: Sneak + Right-Click while holding a Blueprint to view a full chat checklist of required blocks compared against what you currently have in your bound chests.
• Multi-Worker Construction Crews & Sentinel Guards: Staking a Blueprint dispatches up to 10 Constructors at once (visibly carrying the exact block they are placing) alongside Black & Gold Estate Sentinel Iron Golems that patrol the build site and fling monsters away (dropping zero items if killed to keep survival balanced).

🌟 Master Estate Seal (Full Autonomy & Chunk Loading)

Unlock the Master Estate Seal at Master Level (Level 5) to turn your Head Butler into an autonomous Grand Butler:

• 24/7 Offline & Cross-Dimensional Chunk Loading: Automatically force-loads a dynamic 3x3 chunk grid around the Service Bell, active build sites, and roaming workers so your estate keeps mining, farming, smelting, and building even while you are thousands of blocks away or in the Nether!
• Autonomous Crew Dispatch: Automatically dispatches Lumberjacks, Miners, Farmers, and Bodyguards whenever resources run low, crops/sheep are ready, or monsters approach the estate.
• Direct Masonry & Kiln Conversion: Automatically converts Cobblestone into Stone Bricks, Stone, Slabs, Stairs, and Walls (and smelts Sand into Glass or Raw Iron into Ingots) on demand so Constructors never stall waiting for materials.
• Estate Maintenance: Automatically places Torches or Lanterns in dark spots around your base at night to prevent mob spawns, and periodically consolidates and sorts your bound chests by category!

🎨 Resource Pack & Texture Support

• Includes custom villager uniform overlays and 3D armor/shield rendering.
• Supports custom worker uniform textures via resource packs under assets/probutler/textures/entity/villager/profession/ (butler.png, constructor.png, lumberjack.png, miner.png, farmer.png, bodyguard.png).
