Neo-Villagers - The Designer

This mod adds a new villager — the Designer — along with a set of decoration blocks that let you place barrels, chests, composters, cauldrons, and more in your villages, castles, and builds without worrying about villagers accidentally claiming them as job site blocks.

The Designer Villager & Designer Table

The Designer is a new villager type whose job site block is the Designer Table — a craftable workstation that also doubles as a more efficient crafting station for all the decoration blocks in this mod. A single log is all it takes to craft a Decoration Barrel, Chest, Composter, or Box, skipping the multiple crafting steps normally required.

The Designer Table is crafted with two blocks of stone (any type), one flower (any type), three wooden planks and one iron ingot.

The Designer trades decoration items across 5 trade levels, offering items such as:

• Decoration Chests, Barrels, Composters, Cauldrons and Boxes (biome-dependent wood types)
• Flower Pots, Item Frames, Banners, Paintings, Armor Stands
• Bookshelves, Chiseled Bookshelves, Decorated Pots, Chains and more

The wood type used depends on the biome: Plains → Oak, Taiga/Snow → Spruce, Desert → Pale Oak, Jungle → Jungle, Savanna → Acacia, Swamp → Mangrove.

Decoration Blocks

All decoration blocks are purely decorative — they look like their functional counterparts but do not act as villager job site blocks, so your villagers won't steal them.

New in version 2: Decoration Barrels, Chests, Double Chests, and Composters are now available in multiple wood variants!

Upgrading from version 1? All existing blocks have been automatically assigned to the Oak type so you won't lose any placed blocks when updating.

All blocks can be crafted using standard crafting recipes or more efficiently via the Designer Table using just one ingredient (a log or stem for wood variants, an iron block for cauldrons).
