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

Villager trading mechanics are standard for 1.7.10. A villager begins with one trade chosen at random from their profession's pool. After 3-12 exchanges, trades will lock (marked with a red X after closing and reopening the trading interface). Completing any trade has a chance to refresh all trades (pink potion swirl effect). Completing a trade for a villager's right-most, newest trade will refresh and may attempt to add another offer permanently to the villager's available trades (green sparkly particle effect). The trading window must be closed to refresh/add trades. The more trades a villager already has available, the more difficult it becomes to unlock new ones as previous trades are not excluded from potential unlocks. If a trade has variable parameters such as an enchantment or amount, it may change when added again to the villager's trade list.

Priest trades that require a tool do not care if the item is already enchanted nor its current durability; a fully repaired item with the listed enchantment will be given. Charcoal can be used interchangably for coal in Butcher and Blacksmith trades.

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. If damaged by a Smeltery, villagers will produce blood, not liquid emerald.

Villagers can be bred as normal for 1.7.10 (based on population/wooden doors), or Mystery Arrows from Mine and Battlegear 2 can be used to split adults into two baby villagers. One of the baby villagers will be identical to the original adult (including trades and any locks), while the second will be randomly generated.

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. The Trading Post from Extra Utilities does not work well and will only show partial or no trades for villagers in range.

Shift-clicking to trade all for a villager's first and only trade can deadlock them permanently, if a new trade isn't added. Do one exchange at a time when a villager only has a single trade to avoid this possibility.

Villager Professions

Item(s) listed in parenthesis are the value of the trade, usually emeralds. Randomly chosen trades are set when the villager is generated, and will not change. Different villagers of the same type may have a different variant of random items. Quantities may vary slightly from those listed here.

  3. Vanilla Oak, Birch, Spruce or Jungle only.
  4. Only saplings from Pam's Harvestcraft. Every Farmer is capable of having a trade for every sapling (eventually), it's not a single trade that picks from a random list.
  5. Farmers can potentially have trades for every crop from Pam's HarvestCraft at once.
  6. The single enchantment is randomly chosen from all available (including mod-added enchantments) with a random power level between I-V
  7. Sapling can be any of the 130+ possible Forestry tree species.
  8. Plank type can be any of the 130+ possible Forestry wood types.
  9. 9.0 9.1 9.2 9.3 9.4 9.5 9.6 9.7 Enchantments are applied to the item listed as part of the cost in brackets, with random power (level 5-19). Also fully repairs the item. Vanilla axes and pickaxes are disabled, only useful for stripping enchantments.
  10. This villager has no defined trades, and uses the fallback gold for emerald trade. Due to only having the one option, eventually the villager will become deadlocked.
  11. 11.0 11.1 Aer, Aqua, Ignis, Ordo, Perditio or Terra.
  12. The essentia type is randomized at time of purchase and again when the mana bean is picked up for the first time or the trade window closed. If multiple beans are shift-click purchased, they will all be the same type and only randomize once.
