Fair Bartering

A lightweight, configurable mod that is mod modpack and vanilla friendly, focused on tweaking Piglin bartering behavior. By default, almost all piglin-loved items are now tradeable currency, with some of them getting you better trades and others getting you multiple trades at once, like the gold block which is the equivalent of bartering nine gold ingots at once! You can also add modded items to the config, so it integrated nicely in small and big modpacks.

🖼️ Examples

Lots of new cool items to barter with!

Bartering with enchanted golden apples Bartering away all your enchanted golden apples yields nice trades :)

I bet you've never seen that before, huh? (not default behaviour)

🤓 Features

You can now trade gold blocks to get 9 trades at once! Finally, quick and efficient bartering, nice for vanilla+ modpacks to make farming some resources easier with vanilla mechanics!
Customizable item-specific delay between each trade
Customizable item tiers based on item's rarity
Add your own items as custom currencies, even modded ones!

🛠️ Configuration

Default

By default, the following items can be used as a bartering currency:

Item	Trades	Tier	Delay (seconds)
Gold Ingot	1	Common	6
Gold Block	9	Common	12
Gold Nugget	1	Trash	2.5
Gold Ore	1	Trash	4
Deepslate Gold Ore	1	Trash	5
Nether Gold Ore	1	Trash	3.5
Raw Gold	1	Trash	6
Raw Gold Block	9	Trash	12
Clock	1	Rare	9
Golden Apple	2	Rare	12
Enchanted Golden Apple	4	Legendary	18
Gilded Blackstone	1	Rare	9
Glistering Melon Slice	2	Trash	5
Golden Carrot	2	Trash	5
Golden Axe	1	Common	7
Golden Sword	2	Trash	7
Golden Spear	2	Trash	7
Golden Shovel	2	Trash	7
Golden Pickaxe	1	Common	7
Golden Hoe	2	Trash	7
Golden Horse Armor	4	Rare	9
Golden Nautilus Armor	4	Rare	9
Bell	3	Rare	10
Light Weighted Pressure Plate	1	Common	9

Do note that golden armor pieces are not included by default in order not to clash with the vanilla's mechanic which allows piglins to wear picked-up armor

And below are the modified loot tables (only weights are changed from vanilla) based on the tier of the item being bartered:

Enchanted Book (random level of Soul Speed)	5 (~1.07%)	0	14 (~3.98%)	40 (~25.6%)

Customize

The config can be found in the config folder of your instance, and is named fairbartering.json5. It contains a list of custom barter currencies written in the following format:

[
    ...
    {
        "item": "minecraft:gold_ingot",
        "worth": 1,
        "tier": "COMMON",
        "delay": 1.0
    },
    ...
]
// More detailed info can be found inside the config file

Each item object has four parameters :

item : the name of the item, including its namespace, in the format namespace:item_name.
worth : the number of trades made at once when bartering the item.
tier : specifies which loot table the trades will use. Can be one of COMMON, TRASH, RARE or LEGENDARY. See above for more details.
delay : a multiplication factor for the time you'll have to wait to make a trade with the item. A factor of 1.0 is vanilla (6 seconds), while a factor of 2.0 means the trade will take roughly 12 seconds.

Do note that you have to restart the game in order for any changes to take effect.
