Lumberjack Villager

Lumberjack: Buys and sells saplings and various wood types.

Update: Never thought this would get so many votes thank you all. I've been looking at many of my ideas and would like to elaborate on this one. You wouldn't be able to buy saplings as it is just too powerful and doesn't give you a reason to go back to the lumberjack to trade again so the trades he does give are: He buys saplings and sells to the player various wood planks and variants on them like stairs or slabs. The idea is he buys saplings grows them into tress and then sells you the wood. Some wood types like oak and birch are very common, at the same time wood types like mangrove are very hard to get but possible.

    Note: axes also involve there material type, but also less then enough to craft a axe of that type, but not for enchanted axes.

    I think planting saplings is a key feature for this villager.  It would work similar to how a farmer villager plants crops, but with appropriate rules for sapling placement to keep them from growing trees too close to buildings.  Currently, only players can place saplings, and that means most wood farming has to be done at least partially by hand.  Only a minority of wood types - oak (azalea), bamboo, and crimson and warped nylium - can be farmed fully automatically, and each require its own dedicated farm.  Wood is such an important part of the build palette that players who need it in significant quantities are often compelled to grind for it one way or another, whether that be clear cutting a forest, manually planting and harvesting, or going afk at semi-automatic farms that are often highly technical and don't generalize well to all wood types.  Having a villager that plants saplings would unlock passive fully-automated farming of generalized wood types, and be a boon for builders and redstoners alike.
