	Villagers without a profession may gain a profession by claiming a job site block. Unemployed villagers always actively seek to claim a job site. A job site block can only be claimed by a villager if no other villagers have claimed it. The removal of a job site block that a villager has claimed causes that villager to lose its profession, unless the villager has prior trades.

	Villagers that already have been traded with cannot lose their profession, even in the case of the removal of their job site block. If a villager that already has prior trades loses its job site block, it will seek to claim a new job site block that matches its profession.

	~~When a villager claims a job site block, the villager emits green particles.~~
	~~===Trading===~~
	~~When a villager gains a profession, it also gains trades associated with that profession.~~
	~~===Movement=== <!-- Perhaps a different~~ section ~~name -->~~
	~~====Job site block====~~
	In {{JE}}, an unemployed villager looks for the nearest unclaimed job site within a 48-block square of its location. When a site is found, the villager pathfinds to it while creating a temporary claim on the site, meaning that no other unemployed villager may claim it. The temporary claim is removed if the villager cannot reach to the job site in 60 seconds, but the villager can try again immediately.<ref>{{bug\|MC-257069\|\|Trapped villager can prevent any other villagers from claiming a jobsite}}</ref> To claim a job site, a villager must come within a two-block radius of the job site block's center.

	In {{BE}}, all villagers in a village search in a 16-block radius and 4-block height for unclaimed job sites. These sites are then added to a list for the entire village. A random unemployed villager with a bed claims the first job site block regardless of distance or whether the villager is asleep.<ref>{{bug\|MCPE-63311\|\|Villagers claim workstations and beds that are too far away and/or get stuck unemployed}}</ref>
	~~====Daily activities====~~
	~~Villagers with a profession walk to their claimed job site block every day.~~

	~~Unemployed villagers and nitwits simply wander.~~
	~~<!-- Not sure if unemployed villagers and nitwits are relevant or not. -->~~
	~~===Non-Trading villagers===~~
	~~[[Minecraft:Nitwit\|Nitwits]] cannot gain a profession and do not search for a job site block.~~
