About
Custom Villager Professions is designed to give you the ability to add your own villager professions. This mod is also useful for modpack authors.
This mod works by reading JSON config files from the config/custom professions directory. By default, no professions are added.
Upon loading, this mod will read all the files you've created and register the new profession, along with the required POI block.
Features
- Register your own profession.
- Register the POI block required for the villager to work at.
- Custom textures for the villager through resource packs.
