Jobs

Every villager can have a job. You hand one out by right clicking the villager while holding a job token (you buy those from the Mayor). The token gets used up and the villager gets to work, usually with a starter tool in hand.

Skill levels and switching jobs

• Every job has its own skill level from 1 to 100. Villagers get faster and better as they level up, and some jobs unlock new tricks at certain levels.
• Each villager has 4 skill slots, so they can learn up to 4 jobs. If you switch them back to an old job, they keep the level they had.
• When all 4 slots are full, a menu pops up asking which old job to forget.
• The villager needs a free inventory slot for the starter tool, otherwise the token isn't used.
• Children can't get a job until they grow up (about 5 days). At school they pick up a favourite job, which shows as a little heart.

Every job has its own settings for the whole village under Mayor, Settings, Professions. Villagers with settings also have a Settings button on their own screen.

The gatherers

Lumberjack

Chops trees around the village, brings the wood to storage and plants a sapling where the tree was. Won't touch logs with cocoa on them. In the settings you can pick which tree types to replant, only cut, or leave alone, and which axes they're allowed to use.

Farmer

Finds fields on their own, tills, plants, harvests and replants. Also picks berries and cocoa, and can use and make bone meal. There's a whole page on this: see Farms.

Miner

Digs a tunnel from the Mine token, collecting stone and ore, and puts torches down as they go. Side branches can be 0 to 12 blocks long (set in the Miner settings).

Rancher

Looks after cows, sheep, pigs and chickens in the Ranch. Shears sheep, milks cows, collects eggs and leather, and feeds pairs so they breed.

Butcher

Leads spare animals from the Ranch to the Butchery for meat. Never touches babies and never goes below the number of adults you tell them to keep, so the rancher can keep breeding.

The crafters

Cook

Turns raw food from storage into meals in the Kitchen: cooked meat and fish, bread, baked potatoes, cookies, stews and soups, pumpkin pie, cake and dried kelp. At level 50 they learn golden carrots and golden apples. You can tell them to cook the tastiest food first, stretch ingredients as far as possible, or keep the menu varied.

Blacksmith

Smelts ore and makes tools, weapons, shields and armor for the village. Diamond from level 25, netherite from level 75 (needs a smithing table). Can melt down old tools to get metal back. You can tell them to focus on workers' tools or guard gear, and how much iron and diamond to leave alone for you.

Enchanter

Writes enchanted books for the village's tools at the Library. More bookshelves mean stronger books. Can make paper and books on their own, and once every tool is covered they can sell top level books to the merchant.

The helpers

Tradesman

This is how your village makes money. The tradesman sells extra goods to the travelling merchant at the Merchant Stall. You choose how much of each item to keep. More about this on The Mayor and Tokens page.

Bard

Plays music and everyone nearby gets happier. There are four instruments to pick from: violin, flute, bass and guitar. The bard wanders the village during the day and plays at the Tavern in the evening.

Teacher

Teaches at the School (needs a lectern). Pupils get smarter, which helps them learn every job faster. By default only children are taught, but you can let adults sit in too (they learn at half speed).

Cleric

Throws healing orbs at hurt villagers, brings food to hungry ones and cheers up sad ones. Prays at the Town Hall every morning, which makes everyone nearby feel better. In a fight they can bless your guards, and at level 100 they can save one villager from dying once a day.

Druid

Nature magic: makes crops grow faster, grows saplings into full trees for the lumberjack, and turns dug out mine tunnels back into rock so the miner has more to dig. Each of those can be switched off.

Architect

Walks from building to building checking they still count, and re-scans ones that failed after you fix them. They never place blocks.

The defenders

Guards, the Captain, Archers and Mages are covered properly on the Defending Your Village page.
