As per the title, I'd like to see a feature to allow villagers to follow players that hold an emerald block, much like animals following wheat, to make transporting them easier. Perhaps this item could also be configured to be a different item if one desires, or even read from a tag that can have multiple items put into it?

I've received an overwhelming number of feature requests over the week and they are filling up the issue tracker and making it difficult to keep track of what is even going on. I've enabled Discussions on the repo as a new location for feature requests. Unfortunately, GitHub has "temporarily" disabled the ability to convert issues to discussions, so I'm closing all feature request issues. However, I'm tracking all the closed issues in a Project board; despite being closed, they're still on my radar on the board. All new feature requests must go to Discussions. Feature requests opened as issues going forward will be closed.
