Villagers

Villagers have received a complete overhaul on Minto. Normal villagers don’t exist anymore - they’ve been replaced by portable villagers that have lifespans, unique trades, and heavy discounts, all which increase as you level them up via trading.
Players can obtain their first villager by heading towards any Nether ruin - these drop soldiers, which are an essential villager for any new player.
Villagers appear in the form of head items - you can place the them down anywhere (preferably in your base), and start trading! This will level it up - the higher the level, the better the trades.
If you want to move your villager, punch it to convert it back into an item.
