Villager Occupations & Chores
Villagers retain their vanilla professions (Librarian, Cleric, etc.) for trading, but MCA adds the ability to assign tasks to your children and hired NPCs.
Available Chores
- Farming: Harvests and replants crops in a nearby radius.
- Woodcutting: Chops down trees and collects logs/saplings.
- Mining: Digs a shaft or clears a designated area for ores.
- Hunting: Attacks nearby passive mobs for food and drops.
- Guarding: Protects the village or the player from hostile mobs.
Hiring Guards
You can hire any unemployed villager as a Guard by giving them a sword or bow. They will follow you or patrol a designated area. You must pay them a daily wage in Gold or Emeralds to keep them in your service.
Items & Crafting
MCA introduces several items essential for social progression and village management.
Essential Recipes

Rose Gold
Rose Gold is a new material added by MCA. It can be found as Rose Gold Ore in the world. While it can be used to craft rings, villagers often mock it as "Fool's Gold" if given as a raw gift. It is primarily used for high-tier MCA items and decorative blocks.
Blocks & World Generation
Tombstones
When a villager or family member dies, a Tombstone will spawn at the location of their death. It displays the name of the deceased and the date of their passing. Breaking a tombstone may occasionally spawn a Ghost or drop items the villager was carrying.
Rose Gold Ore
Spawns naturally between Y-levels 0 and 64. It must be smelted into Rose Gold Ingots. It has a similar rarity to Gold Ore but appears in slightly larger veins.
