Villager Overhaul

Villager Overhaul is a NeoForge mod that adds three big systems for recruited villagers:

• Merchants: reroll, lock, auto-search, and auto-trade villager offers (with server-balanced costs).
• Guards: equip villagers with real gear and configure combat behavior.
• Farmers: deposit/withdraw logistics + a manual-farming AI that works with modded crops.

Getting started (2 minutes)

1. Install NeoForge 1.21.1 and Villager Overhaul.
2. In-game, find an unemployed villager (profession = none).
3. Right-click the villager to open the Recruit screen.
4. Pay the emerald cost to recruit (ownership is enforced server-side).
5. Open the villager again: the mod's UI (commands, settings, info) becomes available.
