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.
