So far, I figured you can automate planks, sticks, mining+smelting, farming and mob farming by assigning 10+tools to a villager you befriended using apples, afaiu tool quality changes chances of specific drops as well as efficiencies.
auto wood etc with tools : axe shovel pick hoe ; no shears?
1) x10+ for auto planks -- total/all not any one tool? ; sticks via builder? [v3]
2) auto smelt via blacksmith[v3] manual furnace is slow
-- waittime for 1 output and doesnt queue.
farm == seeds from tools and villagers from [explore village].
-- wheat generation? cannot craft : hay-bales ; bread only via chef [v3] ;..
3) howto "assign tools" to a villager == click x10 tools then villager.
-- pick=blacksmith , axe=builder , shovel=explorer , hoe=chef
4) howto unlock map? -- nothing for : compass incl x10 ; paper crafting ;..
bonus :
* x10 furnace / craft-table doesnt do/give anything.
-- maybe allow hiding [make table] button?
* x6 villagers -- not sure what is/was unlocked.
* note blocks?
5) tool quality indeed changes drops.
-- not crafts drops
EG diamond (villager) blacksmith (supreme) and no auto glass.
-- at diamond (manual quality) but no idea what to do with :
bowl, clock , painting,, saddle, snowballs, torch,..
-- foods : egg, sugar, sugarcane,..
-- (~)plants : cactus, dandelions,poppy, sapling,, sponge(?) ,..
mushrooms to stew via chef[^3]
-- (~)ores : clay, coal, flint, glass(/sand), gravel, obsidian, redstone (dust), sandstone, soulsand ,..
