Botanist's House

Botanist's House is a village house structure added by the Beautify mod. Each house is a small building built around a Botanist Workbench, which serves as the job site for a Botanist villager placed inside. The house is decorative and holds plant and farming supplies in its chest, so it is mainly of interest to players who want the Botanist profession, its workbench or the plant blocks it sells. The structure contains no hostile mobs and no bosses.

There are five variants, one for each village biome type: plains, snowy, savanna, taiga and desert. Each variant has its own structure, structure set, biome tag, template pool and chest loot table.

Generation

The houses spawn in two ways.

• Standalone placement. Each variant has its own structure set with random_spread placement. The in-game spacing is 38 chunks with a separation of 11 chunks, as set by the pack's Sparse Structures pass. In a 26 km² sample no houses were observed, so they are rare in the open world.
• Village streets. The five houses are also added to the vanilla village street pools (minecraft:village/plains/streets, snowy, savanna, taiga and desert) with a pool weight of 2. Any village built from those pools can therefore contain a Botanist's House, including villages added by other mods that use the same pools.

Each variant spawns only in the biomes of its own tag. The plains variant uses the plains collection, the desert variant the desert collection, the taiga variant the taiga collection, the savanna variant the minecraft:is_savanna tag and the snowy variant the forge:is_snowy tag.

Each house is placed on the surface and blends into the surrounding terrain (terrain adaptation beard_thin). The structure is a single jigsaw piece, so each house is one building with no attached rooms.

Layout

The plains variant is the reference layout. The other variants are separate structure files, so their size and block palette differ.

• Interior. The plains house contains beds, chests, a Botanist Workbench, a candelabra, Hanging Pots, Trellises, a potted cornflower and a dandelion. A Botanist villager is placed in the house at the workbench.
• Construction. The plains house is built from oak planks, oak stairs, oak slabs and oak trapdoors, with oak doors, glass panes, a fence and wall torches.
• Variants. The snowy, taiga, savanna and desert houses are separate structure files that follow the same general plan. Their chests use their own loot tables.

The house has no traps, puzzles or locked areas.

Inhabitants

The house holds one Botanist villager, placed next to the Botanist Workbench. The villager has the Botanist profession and sells plant blocks, trellises and dripleaf. The full trade list is on the Botanist (villager) page.

The structure spawns no mobs of its own. Hostile mobs spawn in the surrounding area as normal.

Loot

Each house has a chest with plant and farming supplies. The best items are:

• an iron hoe, which is enchanted at random when the chest is generated
• bone meal, for speeding up plant growth
• saplings and sweet berries
• sugar cane and cactus
• a flower pot
• flowers such as poppy, dandelion, cornflower and lily of the valley
• dead bush

Each variant has its own chest table (botanist_chest, _desert, _savanna, _snowy and _taiga), so the contents differ by biome. The table below is generated from the game data.

Tips

• To find a Botanist's House, search villages in each biome type. The standalone structures are rare, but a house can appear as a street building in any village that uses the matching pool.
• The Botanist villager takes its profession from the Botanist Workbench. Keep the workbench in place if the villager's trades are needed.
