Depending on the job, place any items required by the villager into the depot. See the list below for what each profession will do. Tasks can be disabled or tweaked in the config file.
More Villagers' miner and forester tasks added. Give some emeralds and a pick/axe respectively. Villager will extract nearby ores or wood over time. Place near resource dense areas for better results.
