HOW TO USE

Binding a villager to a workstation:

  • Hold a stack of workstation items in your main hand (e.g. a composter, lectern, blast furnace, etc.).
  • Right-click an unemployed villager. A brief ritual begins, shown by happy particles around them.
  • One item from your stack is now bound to that villager (the rest remain unbound).
  • Place the bound item as a block anywhere in the world.
  • The villager will navigate to their workstation and gain the corresponding profession.

Binding a villager to a bed:

  • Hold any bed in your main hand.
  • Right-click any villager (employed or unemployed). A brief ritual begins, shown by happy particles around them.
  • Place the bound bed anywhere in the world.
  • The villager will navigate to and sleep in that bed.

Finding the villager or workstation/bed:

  • Look directly at the villager or the placed workstation/bed.
  • Press V, a particle effect will be applied.
