Bind any villager to any workstation or bed permanently.<\/p>\n<p>| **FEATURES** |<br \/>\n|-|<\/p>\n<p>* Permanent villager-workstation binding: Right-click an unemployed villager while holding a workstation item to bind them together. Place the block and it belongs to them exclusively.<br \/>\n* Permanent villager-bed binding: Right-click any villager while holding a bed to bind them to it. Place the bed and it belongs to them exclusively. Works on employed and unemployed villagers alike.<br \/>\n* Protected workstations: Other villagers cannot gain a profession from a bound workstation or show any claiming behavior.<br \/>\n* Protected beds: Other villagers cannot claim a bound bed or walk toward it.<br \/>\n* Villager locator: Press V while looking at a bound workstation or bed to apply a glowing effect to its villager, making them easy to find in a crowded trading hall.<br \/>\n* Auto-cleanup on break: Breaking a bound workstation or a bound bed automatically releases the binding, freeing both the block and the villager.<\/p>\n<p>| **HOW TO USE** |<br \/>\n|-|<\/p>\n<p><u>Binding a villager to a workstation:<\/u><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Hold a stack of workstation items in your main hand (e.g. a composter, lectern, blast furnace, etc.).<br \/>\n&#8211; Right-click an unemployed villager. A brief ritual begins, shown by happy particles around them.<br \/>\n&#8211; One item from your stack is now bound to that villager (the rest remain unbound).<br \/>\n&#8211; Place the bound item as a block anywhere in the world.<br \/>\n&#8211; The villager will navigate to their workstation and gain the corresponding profession.<\/p>\n<p><u>Binding a villager to a bed:<\/u><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Hold any bed in your main hand.<br \/>\n&#8211; Right-click any villager (employed or unemployed). A brief ritual begins, shown by happy particles around them.<br \/>\n&#8211; One bed from your stack is now bound to that villager.<br \/>\n&#8211; Place the bound bed anywhere in the world.<br \/>\n&#8211; The villager will navigate to and sleep in that bed.<\/p>\n<p><u>Finding a bound block&#8217;s villager:<\/u><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Look directly at a placed workstation or bed block.<br \/>\n&#8211; Press V (default key). The bound villager will glow for a configurable duration, making them visible through walls.<\/p>\n<p><u>Releasing a binding:<\/u><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Simply break the workstation block or either half of the bed. The binding is removed automatically and the villager is freed.<\/p>\n<p>| **CONFIGURATION** |<br \/>\n|-|<\/p>\n<p>Open the config screen via ModMenu \u2192 Dibs! \u2192 Config:<\/p>\n<p>*   Particle Duration: Determines how long the `happy_villager` particles play around the villager during the binding ritual.<br \/>\n    * (Default: 2 seconds)<br \/>\n    * (Range: 1-60 seconds)<br \/>\n*   Glow Duration: Determines how long the assigned villager remains highlighted with the glowing effect when the V key is pressed.<br \/>\n    * (Default: 5 seconds)<br \/>\n    * (Range: 1-60 seconds)<\/p>\n<p>| **REQUIREMENTS** |<br \/>\n|-|<\/p>\n<p>*   Fabric Loader<br \/>\n*   Fabric API<br \/>\n*   Cloth Config API<br \/>\n*   Mod Menu (recommended for easy in-game configuration)<\/p>\n<p>| **CLIENT &#038; SERVER** |<br \/>\n|-|<\/p>\n<p>Some functionality exists on both the client and the server, making the mod required for the server but optional for the client.<\/p>\n<p>| **FREE &#038; OPEN SOURCE** |<br \/>\n|-|<\/p>\n<p>This is a completely free project.
