Villagers Tasks
Enhance vanilla villagers by giving each profession a unique task that makes villages feel more alive and useful.
About
Villagers Jobs Tasks expands the behavior of existing vanilla villager professions by giving each one a practical task to perform automatically.
Instead of introducing new professions, the datapack enhances familiar villagers with abilities that make villages more dynamic and rewarding to build around.
Each profession contributes in its own way, from breeding animals and healing villagers to gathering resources or producing fish, while remaining balanced and vanilla-friendly.
