What it does

In MC 26.1, the old Offers.Recipes NBT structure was removed as part of the new data-driven trading system. Price changes now come entirely from the Gossip system (reputation).

This datapack removes only the gossip entries that raise prices, every 3 seconds, on all loaded villagers — using the Gossips[{Type:"..."}] NBT path to target and delete matching entries directly, with no loop or index guessing required.

Gossip type	Cause	Effect on price	Action
`minor_negative`	Hitting the villager	Increase	Removed
`major_negative`	Killing a villager nearby	Increase	Removed
`minor_positive`	Curing a zombie villager	Decrease	Kept
`major_positive`	Curing, permanent bonus	Decrease	Kept
`trading`	Frequent trading	Decrease	Kept

Only price increases are blocked. Discounts you've earned are never touched.

Installation

Drop the no-villager-price-increase folder (or the .zip) into:
saves/<world-name>/datapacks/
In-game: /reload
You will see a green confirmation message in chat.

Commands

Command	Effect
`/function no_vp:reset_all`	Immediate manual reset of all villagers
`/function no_vp:uninstall`	Clean uninstallation (run before removing files)

Uninstalling

Run /function no_vp:uninstall in-game
The cycle stops automatically within 3 seconds
Remove the datapack folder and run /reload

Technical notes

Runs every 60 ticks (3 seconds) via a self-scheduling function
Uses an #active scoreboard flag: when uninstall removes the scoreboard, the cycle stops on its own
In 26.1, Offers.Recipes NBT no longer exists on villager entities — the gossip system is the only accessible data that drives price changes
