Updated 21 June 2025. Works with 1.21.6; should work with all 1.21.x, but not guaranteed.
If specific versions are needed, please join the Discord and ask in the data-pack-suggestions forum.
Purpose
Villager 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.

Directions for Use
- Install the data pack.
- Place an iron block on an emerald block.
- 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.
Notes
The 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.
Known Issues
- Planned feature: in-game toggles to prevent abuse.
