Treasure enchantments (such as Mending and Frost Walker) are a really cool concept, since they are unique and special and add more of an incentive to explore and obtain them in other ways than just using an enchanting table. But I've always thought that they're not much of a treasure if you can just easily obtain an endless supply of them from villagers, let alone for the price of a single emerald, are they?
On top of that, I've always disliked how useless the wandering traders are, and so I came up with a better idea.
This mod is the result of that. It aims to improve on both of those problems by removing all treasure enchantments from villager trading, and instead adds them as rare trades from the wandering trader.
The mod is fully compatible with treasure enchantments from other mods, and includes a config to customize virtually all of its functionality. For wandering traders, it includes options for changing the book prices, max number of trades, whether they should also sell curse enchantments, and adding exceptions that won't be sold. And for villagers, you can add exceptions that won't be removed from them!
My 1.18.1 server is throwing an error after using it, and I don't know what happened
In reply to chen_index:
As far as I know, that message is just an unnecessary warning from fabric related to mod versioning, and it shouldn't cause you any problems. You should be able to just ignore it.
Is it possible to edit certain chances? I want to change how frequent Mending is in the trades
In reply to mo_shark:
Unfortunately no, I would add that and make it configurable if I could, but it's a limitation of the trade selection system for wandering traders which makes all of their trades completely random without any chances. I'm pretty sure it's the same way for villager trades as well.
Any chance to keep the librarian in the mix and maybe nerf the percentage carried BY the librarian? That way there's an incentive to go out looking for the more rarer enchantments while still having a reason to have those lazy librarians and their old enchantment inventories 😜
Awesome mod by the way.. genius! 😁👏👏
In reply to adamc1972:
Thank you!! And yes, I probably could do that if I wanted to, but the reason I probably won't is because it would basically defeat half of the purpose of the mod. The reason is because as long as it is possible for librarians to sell those enchantments, it means you can just keep refreshing their trades until you get lucky and get one regardless of the chance. That is one of the reasons why they get completely removed instead.
Hopefully I correctly understood what you meant, but if I didn't then just let me know.
Also if you have any other suggestions I would be glad to hear them!
In reply to SnugDev:
Thank you for replying 🖖 Hope you didn't take offense 😁
Oh.. There's no method of separating them by rarity? The librarian having only the most common.. like the most common 5 or something like that. At least giving the basic enchantments to the librarians.. A little taste for the player. Possibly from a config file that the server admin/player sets as the pool of spells purchasable through the librarians and then everything else just goes to the wandering traders. That way the reason for the librarians existing is still there while giving the wandering traders a new reason to be searched after ;)
Meh, just an idea. I like adventuring and all but putting all the emphasis on having to go looking for a wandering trader before being able to enchant anything.. I love your idea.. just wonder if I'd have my kids nagging at me that they can't find any Traders and therefore no Enchants until they find them...
Just an idea though 😁🖖😎
In reply to adamc1972:
Ohhh sorry, it seems like I did misunderstand your question. I'll try to explain properly this time lol.
So firstly yes, that is actually already possible in the Forge version of the mod. It comes with a config file that lets you customize a lot of things, including adding specific exceptions so that you can choose any enchantments that you want to either not be removed from librarians or not be added to the traders, or both. The config file has a pretty good explanation of how the options work inside of it too which should help.
Also, this mod only affects the treasure enchantments specifically, so all of the normal enchantments in the game are untouched. So in vanilla for example, it means that the mending, frost walker, and curse enchantments are all affected by it and get transferred to the wandering traders instead. They can of course be customized though using the config file like I just explained.
Lastly in case you are wondering, unfortunately I haven't added the config file or its options to the Fabric version just yet, and I haven't updated the mod to Forge 1.18 either, but I am working on getting both of those done very soon if you need either of those. I just need to take a bit of time to get those done, especially since I'm working on a very large mod currently at the same time lol.
I hope I explained properly this time! Let me know if you have more questions, but if you have any questions about how the config file works, the explanations I've written in it should hopefully answer that for you.

💯👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🍻😎
Thank you!!
Have a wonderful weekend!
In reply to SnugDev:
I'm asking here because it is related to the previous question but.. What if you made those initial treasures, albeit a rarer occurrence, only possible on the later levels of librarians as a config option?
I.E: Maybe a gold, diamond, or emerald chance only. (or something along those lines) so that you actually have to put some effort into leveling up your librarians?
Yes, I understand the main reason why this mod exist, but I'm planning to make an adventuring modpack in vanilla+ and having to rely on only wanderign traders for something like mending could be a clear disadvantage for something like this. I.E: I left all my emeralds at home because I'm off to get loot, he pops up, has the book at a decent price, and by the time I head home and return to him, he's already despawned.
As another reference: I'm using backpack mods to save on inventory space, that way I can make much longer trips. And pack enough food and supplies to conquer any dungeons I come across. (modded or otherwise) or explore any caves for resources. I have a mod that gives me a bundle with a much larger inventory, that I could use to store my emeralds, but the same concepts pops up should I chose not to use this. I.E: Having to use up inventory space, that I could be using for other things, in order to carry enough currency for some enchanted books.
Anyway, sorry for the long post, hope my explanation helps smooth out my reasoning. I love the idea of this mod in general.
In reply to ShadoUrufu:
Hmm.. Yeah I see what you mean, and I think that is probably something I could add. I will look into it very soon :)
I'll reply back here soon to let you know if it's something I can easily do. I'll have to check and try it first to make sure lol
In reply to SnugDev:
Kool, thank you very much just for making the attempt.
In reply to ShadoUrufu:
Hey sorry to tell you this, but it seems like I won't be able to add this as a feature. I expected to be able to and tried it, but it turns out it's pretty much not possible because of how vanilla trades are coded using arrays. Technically I think it would be possible to do, but it would be very difficult and it would also cause incompatibility with other mods among other possible issues, so it's not really worth it because of all the issues and bugs it would cause.
Sorry to disappoint you, I tried my best lol
In reply to SnugDev:
It's alright. thanlks for trying at least. I'll just have a look at the configs and see how it all works now I guess. And get a bigger bundle mod for an emerald 'coin purse' lol
This is gonna sound crazy, but is there any way to have the mending books sold by the wandering traders have a curse on the book as well? I'm trying to make mending less of a compulsion and more of a choice, to make it a trade off for using something OP you will have to accept a negative.
I was thinking of using this mod, but how does it interact with yours?
In reply to SovLV:
Absolutely, that sounds easy enough to implement! I'll try to add that as a feature in the config in the next update for the Forge version which should come very soon. If you're using the Fabric version though, I haven't made that version configurable just yet so it will probably take a bit longer for that.
Also for your second question, I haven't tested if that mod is compatible with mine, so I'm not completely sure whether or not it would cause any issues. I assume that they would work fine together, but again I can't be 100% sure, so you might have to test it yourself if you need to use them together.
In reply to Snugzzzzzz:
Okay, thank you so much! And yes I use forge so that's no problem :) Also when I'll let you know about how they work together
In reply to SovLV:
Just finished the new update with more config options! Adding the feature you requested was slightly trickier than I thought it would be, but I got it working lol. I made it work with any enchantment you set too, so it's not limited to just mending. It's out now, enjoy!! :)
In reply to Snugzzzzzz:
That's so awesome, I appreciate so much! I'll try it out as soon as I can ^^ thanks again for accepting requests
In reply to SovLV:
No problem, I'm happy to! I'm really glad that I could help lol
