\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 nitwits currently have little purpose in-game. This data pack remedies that by making them a sustainable source of iron.<\/p>\n

# Directions for Use
\n1. Install data pack.
\n2. Get a nitwit to stand over a hopper.<\/p>\n

# Notes
\nNitwits must be between 0 and 0.5 blocks above a hopper to drop iron. All nitwits over hoppers will drop iron at the same time.<\/p>\n

# Known Issues
\n– None known.<\/p>\n

# Support and Links
