This is a simple plugin that allows your players to optimize their own villagers and keep vanilla behavior. This will allow trading halls to keep their twice a day villager restocks but has no automation so I won't effect farms using villagers.
Features of the Plugin

While the villagers are optimized they will not sleep in beds, breed while ai is disabled, take damage from zombies, or work as part of farms.
