ComesAlive — Update (1 August 2026)

Craftspeople are no longer interchangeable. Each one has their own counter, their own prices for you, and a career.

🏆 Trader ranks

Villagers now learn their trade by working it, the way Minecraft villagers do.

A freshly hired craftsperson only knows the basics — a new armourer sells copper and crude gear, nothing more. Every piece you buy from them counts. Fill their bar and they rank up, bringing out a whole new tier of goods:

🔨 One workshop, one craftsperson

You can no longer pile the whole village into a s supports exactly one worker.** If the workshop is taken, t already works there.

This makes every workshop you build a real position, and choosing who fills it an actual decision. Villagers who pick up a trade on their too, so nobody doubles up behind your back.

📦 Your own stock

Shop stock is now yours alone. A rich player can no longer clean out the village smith and leave everyone else staring at an empty own allotment from every artisan, restocked every 3 d
