Create Man-Powered
A create mod addon where you can pay nitwit villagers emeralds to turn them into manual labor villagers that power hand cranks from the create mod.

Create Man-Powered (createmanpowered)
- Pay a nitwit villager 5 emeralds (right-click with main hand) to hire them as a Manual Labor Villager who will power Create hand cranks automatically.
- Hired villagers keep the nitwit profession, gain a visible custom name, and stay persistent.
- Workers periodically scan an 8-block radius for Create hand cranks, walk to a safe spot behind/around the crank, face it, and repeatedly turn it to generate rotational power.
- Interaction messages guide hiring and prevent duplicate hires; non-nitwit villagers decline the offer.
Notes and behavior details
- Requires Create 6.0.0+ (built against mc1.21.1-6.0.9) and NeoForge 21.1.80/mc1.21.1.
- Crank operation is server-driven; workers avoid acting while sleeping, riding, or as babies.
- Stand positions are chosen with simple collision and support checks; blocked cranks will be skipped.
Limitations / ideas for future updates
- Only standard hand cranks are targeted; other Create generators aren’t automated yet.
- Workers do not handle obstacles or hazards aggressively—placing cranks within clear reach is recommended.
- Hiring cost and scan radius are fixed constants; consider making them configurable later.
