Mouthpiece
The Mouthpiece is a villager profession that trades sacred texts for crystal hearts and Ofuda. It replaces the librarian, and its job site block is the Lectern. It sells no enchanted books, since enchanting in Matcha Flavoured works through blessings and Ofuda instead.

Crystal hearts
At Novice level the mouthpiece exchanges Paradise Lost or The Divine Comedy for a crystal heart, one book per heart. It also sells 16 Stable Voids for 1 obol.
Ofuda
The Apprentice, Journeyman and Expert trades turn a sacred text and one or two crystal hearts into an Ofuda, an enchanted book that carries a named prayer:[2]
| Level | Sacred text | Crystal hearts | Prayer | Enchantments |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Apprentice | The Avesta | 1 | Prayer of The God-King | Efficiency II, Unbreaking I |
| Apprentice | The Quran | 1 | Prayer of The Prophet | Protection II |
| Apprentice | The Tanakh | 1 | Prayer of Exodus | Loyalty III, Trailblaze III, Power II |
| Journeyman | The Book of Enoch | 1 | Prayer of Samyaza | Sharpness III |
| Expert | The Lesser Key of Solomon | 2 | Prayer of Belial | Mending |
The Ofuda is applied to equipment with an anvil, like a vanilla enchanted book; see Ofuda.
Divine Fragment
At Master level the mouthpiece turns 2 crystal hearts and an echo shard into a Divine Fragment.[3] The developer added this as a trade because divine fragments cannot be crafted directly.[4]
Like every villager, a mouthpiece that has been traded with also buys its favorite food once.
History
| 0.6-alpha | No longer sells Divine Fragments, to discourage mob farms. |
|---|---|
| 1.10 | Added the Ofuda trades for The Tanakh (Prayer of Exodus) and The Quran (Prayer of The Prophet). |
| 1.12 | Crystal hearts from trades can no longer be eaten. |
| 1.12.1-alpha | Sells Divine Fragments for crystal hearts and an echo shard. |
| 1.12.2 | The Ofuda trades require crystal hearts. |
Trivia
- The 1.12.1-alpha release notes give the Divine Fragment price as one crystal heart and an echo shard, but the trade asks for 2 crystal hearts.[5]
- Internally the profession is still
minecraft:librarian; only its displayed name changes.[6] - The developer has said the idea behind the Mouthpiece is that all of the world's religions point, in some way, to the pack's dead god.[7]
