Version 1.2 • Forge 1.20.1 • by maiky_hda

Overview

Workers you purchase are truly yours: only you can equip them, bind their chest, and toggle their mining. They dig downward efficiently, collect cobblestone, teleport to their bound chest when full, deposit automatically, and return to the mine. Pickaxe durability is tracked; when a tool breaks, mining pauses and you get a chat message.

Highlights

Ownership: villagers bought via the shop are tagged to you and respect permissions.
Mining: fast, downward‑focused stone/deepslate mining with automatic deposits.
Wand Binding: select a worker, then bind a chest to define the drop‑off location.
Control: toggle mining in‑world or start/stop by worker name using commands.
Feedback: clear chat messages for equipping, enabling, deposits, and tool breaks.

Getting Started

Buy a villager in /shop, give them a Name Tag, equip a pickaxe with right‑click, then bind a chest using the wand: right‑click the worker, then right‑click the chest. Place the worker on stone or deepslate to begin. Sneak + right‑click with an empty hand toggles mining on the spot.

Commands

Crafting

tipp: Name Tag your worker so you can control them precisely with /worker start/stop .
