Villager Trading Evolution ๐๐
Turn ordinary villagers into a complete trading progression system with Villager Trading Evolution!
Level villagers from Novice all the way to Ascended, unlock better trades, build reputation, complete quests, earn Trading Tokens, discover powerful equipment, and hunt down three extremely rare legendary merchants.
Vanilla villager trading still works normally — this add-on adds its own progression and trading menu on top.
๐ Level Up Your Villagers
Every villager can progress through 10 different ranks:
Novice → Apprentice → Journeyman → Expert → Master → Elite → Royal → Mythic → Legendary → Ascended
Trades inside the add-on menu give Trading XP. Fill the XP bar to increase the villager's rank and unlock new offers.
Higher ranks take significantly longer to reach, making powerful villagers something you actually have to work for.
๐ฐ 143 Trading Offers
Villager Trading Evolution includes 143 offers across all 13 villager professions.
Each profession has its own style and rewards:
- Armorer – armor and shields
- Weaponsmith – swords and powerful weapons
- Toolsmith – pickaxes, axes and mining tools
- Farmer – farming tools, seeds and food
- Librarian – enchanted books and experience items
- Cleric – brewing materials and experience
- Fletcher – custom bows and ammunition
- Plus Butcher, Cartographer, Fisherman, Leatherworker, Mason and Shepherd trades
Offers have limited daily stock and higher-rank villagers unlock much more valuable items.
โญ Reputation System
Every trade improves your personal reputation with that villager.
Reputation ranks include:
- Stranger

๐ช Trading Tokens

โ ๏ธ Good to Know
Trading XP is earned through the add-on's own trading menu.
Normal vanilla villager trading still works, but vanilla trades do not give Villager Trading Evolution XP.
Restocks and quest cooldowns use Minecraft's in-game day counter.
Version 1.1.0 is the Simple Edition, and balancing such as cooldowns, chances and spawn rates may be adjusted in future updates.
