Nearest Villager Job: Automatically assigns workstations to the closest villager and lets you highlight owners with a sneak-right-click. Optimized for Paper/Spigot 1.21.1+.

🏘️ Nearest Villager Job

Ensure the right villager gets the job – every single time.

Are you tired of placing a workstation only to have a villager 50 blocks away claim it while the one standing right next to it stays unemployed?

Nearest Villager Job fixes Minecraft’s inconsistent profession assignment by always selecting the closest eligible villager.
