About this Mod

Example trades from a librarian specialized in max-level, armor and water-related enchantments.

A revisitation of the Villager trading mechanics that aims to get rid of those big trading halls filled with villagers with mostly useless trades, instead allowing you to get everything you need from a smaller number of villagers, which can become specialized in the long term through deliberate trading. To achieve this, the mod makes these two changes:

  • Villagers choose their trades based on previous player interactions. For instance, a librarian you've bought many Looting books from is more likely to offer sword enchantments and luck related enchantments in the future.
  • Villagers change their trades every time they restock/every day (configurable). This makes it unnecessary to breed a large number of villagers in hope that they sell what you need, and adds a little challenge to the trading mechanics. The more you buy or sell a specific item, the more likely the villager will choose that trade after restocking.

Additionally, this mod allows you to add or replace villager trades through datapacks. In multiplayer, the mod is only required on the server.
