It introduces two guard roles, archers and swordsmen, who defend villagers against hostile creatures and can equip weapons, armor, and totems. Fletcher villagers can become archers when given a bow, while weaponsmith villagers can become swordsmen with an iron sword.

Because some villagers may convert randomly, existing trades can be lost. With BoxToPlay, this village defense feature fits naturally into multiplayer survival.

The enchantment can be obtained through enchanting, loot, or villager trading, while each extra block still affects tool durability and can provide experience.

Saddle Backport
