VILLAGES ALIVE - A mod series that brings you helpful villagers to make your build easier. Finally Woodsman Wade is here! The Woodsman adds a craftable Woodsman's Lodge Marker block that, when placed, clears and levels a 35×35 area (up to 20 blocks tall), reinforces the subsoil, lays grass and constructs a ready-to-use rustic 7×9 lumberjack hut with a stocked chest filled with diamond axes, interior and exterior lanterns, a stone-brick apron and walkway, and an oak-fence perimeter with a birch gate. Five seconds after placement Woodsman Wade appears on the front walkway with a diamond axe and follows a fixed clockwise circuit two blocks beyond his spawn, running a repeating three-pass routine that plants a fixed sequence of saplings, bone-meals them to full trees, then fells and collects wood, 5% of leaf blocks, sticks and apples and deposits his haul into the exterior chests, idling if all chests are full. Wade is non-hostile, completely immune to all sources of damage (including fire and knockback) and is ignored by other mobs, so he will never be hurt or targeted while continuing his planting, growing and harvesting cycle; simply craft and place the marker to start.
VILLAGES ALIVE - A mod series that brings you helpful villagers to make your build easier. Finally a Beekeeper! Set the place block and watch as your Apiary is instantly built; 4 cherry trees, 8 beehives, pink petal ground cover, and lots of flowers. Two seconds later Nectar Ned shows up to tend to your bees. Ned will harvest and store the honey for you in chests located between the back two cherry trees. When the chest is full, Ned will place another and so on until the row between the cherry trees is full. Then Ned will patiently wait until you come make some room for him to continue harvesting again.
VILLAGES ALIVE - A mod series that brings you helpful villagers to make your build easier. Finally a farmer that is useful! Seed Sack Seth will harvest and replant your farm with Sugarcane, Cactus, Potatoes, Carrots, and wheat. Just place the Farmhouse Block to auto-clear and flatten an 11×9 oak farmhouse 10 blocks ahead of you and instantly spawn a fully stocked, survival-ready farm—complete Five seconds after generation a persistent decorative NPC named Seed Sack Seth appears in the yard to be your farm worker that idles while waiting for the crops to grow and then harvest and places them in the chests surrounding the farm. When the chests are full he will begin composting the overflow and putting the Bone Meal in the chest by the composter.
VILLAGES ALIVE - A mod series that brings you helpful villagers to make your build easier. Finally, Courier Carl is here to make pickups from the other workers in the Villages Alive series! Place the block to instantly spawn a 40×20 stone‑brick Storage House ten blocks in front of you. Five seconds after the house finishes building, Courier Carl appears five blocks in front of the door. There is also an completely empty attic if you need more room so you can fill it with chests to expand Carl's workspace. A Chest Pickup Marker item (available in the Creative inventory) lets you squat and mark any supported chest by using the tool on it; each marked chest is added to a first-in, first-out pickup queue (duplicate marks are prevented) so marked locations are saved and serviced in the exact order they were marked. When Carl services a marked chest he teleports instantly to the chest, waits exactly two seconds while collecting all its contents, then teleports back inside the Storage House and deposits items into the storage chests using stable category grouping (stone with stone, logs with logs, planks with planks, food with food, decoration with decoration, tools, redstone, plants, etc.), always filling the far back-right chest first and preferring to merge into existing matching stacks before opening new chests—sorting and chest selection are deterministic, repeatable, and robust so no marked chest is skipped, duplicated, or loses items.
