About this Mod

Features
New profession: Adds the Netherite Sandsmith, a desert-exclusive villager focused on high-end combat gear.

Unique workstation: The Sandsmith’s job site block is the Sand Block.
Armor trades: Progress through tiers to purchase a complete Netherite set — helmet, chestplate, leggings, and boots.

Alpha balance: Prices, availability, and enchant chances are intentionally conservative and may change during alpha.

How it works
Spawning: In desert villages, unemployed villagers will become Netherite Sandsmiths when they claim a Sand Block.

Work schedule: Works like other villagers — restocks twice per day and levels from Novice to Master through trades.

Warning: This mod is in alpha, it may contain bugs, unfinished features, glitches.
