Trade Tweaks

A Minecraft Forge mod that provides versatile utility staffs and in-game options to enhance the player experience when trading with villagers.

Currently in early preview - many features are still under development.

Key Features

Emerald Wand

Usage:

• Sneak + Mouse Wheel: Cycle through modes
• Sneak + Right Click: Activate current mode

1. Profession Clear

• Removes profession from any villager
• Works even on leveled/traded villagers
• Resets their trade progression completely

2. Workblock(JobSite) Tracker

• Visually highlights the villager's linked workstation in red
• When used on an unemployed villager, highlights the villager's current potential workstation in green (not shown in the image)
• Effective range: 64 blocks

3. Villager Tracker

• Applies glowing effect to villager using the targeted workstation

4. Villager AI Refresh

• Forces unemployed villagers to stop current activities
• Makes them (try to) immediately search for nearest valid workstation

5. Villager Instant Upgrade

• Increases villager's profession level immediately
• Consumes 1 Emerald Block or 9 Emerald by default. Block will be consumed first.
• Items and counts costs can be modified in serverconfig/tradetweaks-server.toml freely. it's convenient for some modpacks, to modify it to other mods' or custom items.

6. Trade Selection

This sounds rule-breaking, but I believe that repeatedly refreshing villager trades to get desired offers is a complete waste of the player's time – requiring no real cost except hours of grinding.

Therefore, I don't consider this feature to break Minecraft's balance or gameplay integrity. As players, we should value our limited playtime and spend it on actually fun experiences.

• Allows players to manually select available trades from villager's potential offer pool
• Any trade with the same profession and profession level required, will be considered as an available trade.
• Allow duplicated trades
• Compatible with multiplayers
• A Nether Star is required to upgrade your wand to use this mode.
• Honestly, you can use this to force the villager to restock… but it doesn't matter and I don't want to fix.
• Specially for librarian, if you select a trade of enchanted book, you will be allowed to choose all the max-level enchantments (usually)at lower price.

Trade Broadcast System

Displays nearby villagers' trade lists (with item icons) in chat, with click-to-highlight functionality. Won't repeat broadcasts for unchanged trades.
