Point of Interest Blocks
Point of Interest Blocks
Point of Interest Blocks (POI) are blocks that villagers can claim or "link" to and interact with. These blocks are what allow villagers to perform all tasks they are capable of doing. There are three types of POI in the game:
- Beds
- Bells
- Job Blocks aka "Workstations"
Villagers will claim POI in precedence of the order listed above.
Beds
Beds are the benchmark POI for villagers. When a villager claims a bed, a village is formed around it with the center being the north-west corner of the bed. This makes beds the most important POI for villagers and is necessary for nearly all villager functions. Beds have a claiming capacity of 1. Villagers will attempt to path-find to their claimed beds when night falls.
Bells
Bells are listed as ‘Meeting Place’ in the JSON files. When a villager claims a bell, they will path-find towards it during the early evening of a day. Unlike beds and workstations, bells are not required for any form of villager tech, however they can be found useful for specific tasks that make working with villagers and villages easier. Up to 20 villagers can claim a single bell.
Workstations
Workstations are the job blocks that villagers claim to have a profession and unlock trading. Villagers will path-find to their workstations during work periods. When a villager claims a workstation, the type of workstation claimed correlates to the type of profession the villager affiliates with. When the workstation is moved/broken, the villager will lose the profession and its trades. However, trading with a villager locks the villagers trades, and therefore will not change profession. A locked villager can only claim the workstation that matches their profession. Nitwits cannot claim workstations.
