\n**Updated 21 June 2025. Works with 1.21.6; should work with all 1.21.x, but not guaranteed.**<\/p>\n
If specific versions are needed, please join the Discord and ask in the data-pack-suggestions forum.
\n# Purpose
\nVillager breeders are relatively simple builds and can easily be made to be infinite. Wrangling the resultant villagers is a hassle. This makes for high frustration at negligible cost. This data pack provides a method to reduce the frustration at a less neglible cost by letting the player build their villagers.<\/p>\n

# Directions for Use
\n1. Install the data pack.
\n2. Place an iron block on an emerald block.
\n3. Place a workstation under the emerald block, and a villager will replace the iron and emerald. A special case occurs if a hopper is used instead of a workstation; a nitwit is generated instead of a general villager.<\/p>\n
# Notes
\nThe nitwit spawning mechanic allows this pack to work very well with my other pack, Iron Wit which causes nitwits to drop iron ingots when they’re on hoppers.<\/p>\n
# Known Issues
\n– Planned feature: in-game toggles to prevent abuse.<\/p>\n
