Villager
Villagers are entities added by vanilla Minecraft that spawn in Villages during world generation. GTNH adds both new villager types and new trades for existing villagers. Not only are villages a good source of hard to acquire resources in the early game, some villagers will offer trades that are quite profitable. The Heretic and Wizard villagers are key to Stone Age Thaumcraft progression, Priests sell Eye of Ender that normally requires a HV Chemical Bath to make, Lumberjack and Apiarist villages can jumpstart tree or bee breeding. A group of protected villagers can also be turned into a passive Emerald farm as they will periodically shed emeralds which can be collected with item logistics, such as a Vacuum Hopper.
Mechanics
At night, villagers will lay down to sleep. They can still be traded with and will stand up again in the morning. If the villager takes damage while asleep, they will briefly stand up, then go back to bed.
Golden Lassos or Soul Vials can pick up villagers for relocation.
Known Issues
Villagers will sometimes lay down in such a way that places their head inside a wall, causing them to take damage and suffocate. Fences are highly recommended to protect valuable villagers from accidental death. The absence of Guards (added by Witchery) can cause villagers to run around in a panic, often stranding themselves in nearby caves or holes. The Healing Axe does not heal villagers, but completing trades or otherwise giving them regeneration will work.
