Settlements mod adds town management to Minecraft through the lectern block.

Right-click a placed lectern to open the settlement management hub. Create a new settlement or manage an existing one from a simple tabbed interface.

Build structures to expand your settlement. Choose from houses, walls, farms, trading huts, town halls, lumber yards, and more. Enter build mode to preview structures as ghost blocks before placing them. Position and rotate to find the right spot, then reserve the location. Deposit materials into settlement storage, and watch structures build automatically block by block. Track progress and see what materials you still need.

Track and manage villagers within your settlement radius. The system automatically scans for villagers nearby and shows them in the villagers tab. Hire villagers to work for your settlement or fire them if needed. Assign them to specific buildings to get them working.

Build a town hall to attract new villagers to your settlement. Villagers will spawn near completed town halls, giving you a steady supply of workers. No need to find villages; your settlement becomes the village.

Wandering traders are drawn to settlements with trading huts. They'll visit regularly to check out your town. Build a trading hut and assign a villager to it, and they'll trade your spare crops and resources for emeralds. Get your trades in before they move on.

The mod tracks all your settlement data automatically. Materials, buildings, villagers—everything is saved with your world. Manage multiple settlements across your world, each with its own lectern hub.

Transform any area into a thriving settlement. Build walls for protection, houses for your villagers, farms for resources, and trading posts for commerce. Watch your settlement grow from a simple lectern into a bustling town.
