⚡ Create: Labor Rush

Boost with Lead or Bell — Now with Enchanted Bells, Worker Rebellions & 19 Achievements!

An addon for Create: Villager Labor that lets you motivate villagers to work at incredible speeds. Use a Lead on a single worker, or ring a Bell to boost everyone nearby.

New in v2.0.0: Enchant Bells with Flame Aspect or Channeling, trigger a full-blown Worker Rebellion (if you dare), arm your maids for uprising, and unlock 19 achievements! 🔥

📌 Version Compatibility

⚠️ v2.0.0 requires Create Villager Labor 1.4.0 or newer. Available for NeoForge 1.21.1 and Forge 1.20.1.

🔧 How It Works

• 🐑 Lead (Normal) — Left-click a seated worker with a Lead to give them a "Work" effect for 90 seconds.
• 🐑 Lead + Flame Aspect I 🔥 — Left-click a seated worker with a Flame Aspect I Lead to activate Work II — processes 32 items per batch!
• 🐑 Lead + Flame Aspect II 🔥🔥 — Left-click a seated worker with a Flame Aspect II Lead to activate Work III — processes 64 items per batch!
• ⚡ Lead + Channeling — Left-click a worker, then Shift + Left-click to unleash the Lightning 5-Whip — a 5-block AoE chain strike with a brand-new lightning effect (beam → burst → shockwave → arcing current)!

• 🎬 See it in action: 闪电五连鞭 [特效版] (Lightning 5-Whip)

• 🔔 Bell / Desk Bell — Right-click a Bell or Desk Bell to motivate all seated workers within 16 blocks at once. Enchanted Bells work too!
• 🔔🔮 Enchanted Bells (new!) — Enchant a Bell with Flame Aspect or Channeling on an anvil, place it, and every ring triggers the enchantment. Effects are saved to the block and persist across world restarts — middle-click to copy an enchanted bell instantly.

💡 Tip: Leads can be enchanted using an anvil + enchanted book!

⚡ What It Does

Workers under the "Work" effect blaze through recipes at maximum speed:

📊 Batch Processing

⏱ Total cycle time drops from ~1–2 seconds to just 2 ticks (0.1s) — perfect for high-throughput production lines.

🔥 Worker Rebellion (new in v2.0)

Push your workers too hard and they might just snap. This optional system is disabled by default — enable it in the config if you want chaos.

• Contagion — one angry worker can spread the rebellion to the whole workshop
• Rebel leader — rebellions have a leader (tracked with a boss bar) and buff up while rebelling
• Property damage — rebels will smash nearby machines (configurable)
• Emerald negotiation — right-click the leader and pay up to end the strike peacefully
• Maid Uprising — Touhou Little Maid maids auto-equip weapons and shout 22 Touhou-themed battle cries (gracefully skipped if the maid mod isn't installed)

🛡️ How to Quell a Rebellion

🎲 Balancing – Haste Makes Waste

Working at breakneck speed has its risks. Items processed under Work have a configurable chance of being destroyed on completion.

When destruction triggers, only a portion of the batch is lost (default: 20%–50%), not the entire batch.

This is fully configurable in config/createlaborrush-common.toml:

Example: Processing 64 items with Work III → 15% chance to trigger → if triggered, 13–32 items are lost (random roll), the rest are produced normally.
