Bartering Station
by Fuzs
Bartering Station is a block that hands gold to nearby piglins so they trade for items without a player standing there.
What it does
The station gives out gold to up to 6 piglins within range every 15 seconds. Each cycle takes a single ingot from one slot, so gold placed across several slots keeps the station working longer. The station collects every bartering result and stops once all of its output slots are full. To run more piglins at once, place additional stations instead of loading one station with more.
The mod uses Fabric API on Fabric, Forge Config API Port on Fabric, and Puzzles Lib on Fabric and NeoForge, so those must be installed alongside it. Forge Config Screens is optional and adds in-game configuration. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 22 release versions, 1.19.2 – 26.3, and is released under the Mozilla Public License 2.0. Its source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Timed gold delivery
Every 15 seconds the station hands gold to up to six piglins in its range.
One ingot per cycle
A single ingot is taken from one slot each cycle, so gold stored across all slots is used evenly.
Result collection
Items received from bartering are gathered into the station's slots until they are full.
Floating gold ingot display
A gold ingot floats above the station's renderer, borrowed from the matrix enchanting table renderer of an earlier mod by Vazkii.

Use cases
Automated piglin trading
A player fills the station with gold and lets nearby piglins barter while the player is away.
Scaling with multiple stations
Several stations placed in a piglin area each serve their own group of up to six piglins.
Who it’s for: Players who run piglin bartering farms in survival worlds, and server owners who want piglin trading to run without manual work. Both the server and every player need the mod.

What the author says
Bartering Station adds one brand new utility block: Put in all your gold ingots, they'll be given to the piglins in the area. All the goodies they return will automatically be collected in the station block. Now add some hoppers for inserting even more gold and extracting your returns. Profit has never been this…
