Smart Villager Add-on 26.30+

Mod Smart Villager gives Villagers their own routines and useful skills. Some will tend the crops, others will fish, breed sheep, cook meat, or repair buildings in Minecraft.

Defense is handled by Archers, Weapon Smiths, and Armorers, while Priests heal the injured and help deal with threats. Mobs will learn to pick up dropped items, store them in Chests, and even create extra storage spaces. For the system to work properly, leave clear paths to the work blocks and provide the NPCs with Beds.
