Villages Alive Farmer

Quickstart

1. Open a crafting table and craft the Farmhouse Placement Block.

1. Hold the Farmhouse Placement Block and place it anywhere in your world.
2. The mod instantly clears and flattens an area, then builds a complete oak farmhouse 10 blocks ahead of you (in the direction you are facing).
3. Wait about 5 seconds — Seed Sack Seth will appear at the front door and begin tending the farm automatically.

Overview

Villages Alive Farmer lets you stamp down a fully functional, survival-ready farmstead with a single block placement. The farmhouse comes pre-stocked with crop plots, storage, and a living NPC farmer who works the land on his own schedule. Everything you need to start producing food from day one is included.

What It Adds

---

The Farmhouse Structure

Placing the Farmhouse Placement Block generates a complete farm complex facing the direction you were looking. The structure includes:

The Building

• Oak farmhouse with a door, awning, copper lanterns, and windows
• Full roof construction

Yard & Landscaping

• Azalea bushes for decoration
• Stone paths
• Perimeter fence with torches for mob protection
• A rotation-aware birch fence gate centered in front of the door (the gate replaces a torch in the fence line)

Farm Plots

• Three framed rear crop plots planted with potatoes, carrots, and wheat
• A mirrored sugar-cane channel
• A 5×13 cactus sand pit with a full dirt support layer beneath every sand block

Storage

• Chest storage layout for harvested crops
• A composter for crop overflow

Seed Sack Seth

Five seconds after the farmhouse is generated, Seed Sack Seth appears in the front yard. He is a custom NPC with a visible nameplate and a trident. He cannot be hurt, pushed, or killed, and he will never despawn.

Seth's Daily Routine

Seth follows a continuous work loop using natural, smooth pathfinding:

1. Idles at the front of the farm between work cycles
2. Walks to the sugar-cane channel and harvests only the upper sugar-cane blocks (leaving the base plants intact to regrow)
3. Tends the rear crop plots — visiting the potato, carrot, and wheat plots in turn; he harvests only fully grown crops and replants immediately without trampling or breaking farm blocks
4. Deposits into the farm chests — prioritising the storage chests first
5. Uses the composter as overflow when chests are full
6. Tends the cactus pit — harvesting only the upper cactus blocks
7. Returns to idle and rests before starting the cycle again

Seth will never break fences, trample crops, or interfere with the farmhouse structure.

Crafting And Obtaining

The only item you need to craft is the Farmhouse Placement Block. It is found in the Construction category of your inventory once crafted.

All ingredients are available in early survival:

• Oak Planks — craft from any oak log
• Copper Ingot — smelt raw copper
• Lantern — craft from iron nuggets and a torch

Abilities And Mechanics

Placement direction matters. The farmhouse is always built 10 blocks in front of the player at the moment of placement, oriented to match the player's facing direction. The fence gate will always be centered in front of the door, facing toward the player.

Terrain is auto-cleared. The mod fills the entire footprint with air above ground level and flattens the area before building, so you do not need to prepare a flat site.

Seth is persistent. He will not despawn, cannot be damaged, and cannot be shoved out of the way. His nameplate is always visible.

Harvesting is safe. Seth only harvests crops that are fully grown, and only takes the upper blocks of sugar cane and cactus — the root blocks remain in place so crops regrow naturally without any replanting effort on your part (Seth handles replanting the rear plots himself).

Progression And Strategy

• Early game: Place the farmhouse as soon as you have oak planks, a lantern, and copper ingots. It provides an instant food supply and a lit, fenced base to survive your first nights.
• Passive food income: Because Seth works continuously, your chests will gradually fill with potatoes, carrots, wheat, sugar cane, and cactus without any player effort.
• Composter overflow: If the chests fill up, Seth deposits excess crops into the composter, producing bone meal — useful for accelerating other farms or gardens you build nearby.
• Multiple farms: You can craft and place additional Farmhouse Placement Blocks to create multiple farms in different locations. Each farm gets its own Seed Sack Seth.
