Better Villager Trading
by ENC_Euphony
Better Villager Trading changes how the trade window of a villager is laid out and used, and it runs on the client alone.
What it does
On the client, Better Villager Trading shows how many sales remain for each offer on the trade screen, beside the arrow button that performs the trade. A player can therefore see the number of uses left before choosing an offer, without counting them by hand.
Trade items can be moved from the player's backpack into a villager's trade slots with a single click. A hover display in the upper left corner of the trade screen reports on the item under the cursor. The mod was split out from the older Better Client project and is published as a dedicated client mod. Files target 1.21.1 only, for Fabric and NeoForge, and the 1.0.1 build dated 2025-07-20 is the latest. The code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Remaining sales counter
The trade screen displays how many sales are still available for each offer, next to its arrow button.
Single-click item transfer
Items from the backpack can be placed into the villager trade slots with one click, without dragging each stack.
Hover information
Hovering over a trade item shows a readout in the upper left corner of the trade screen.
Client-only install
Only the client needs the mod, so a server can run without it and players join without installing anything else.

Use cases
Restocking trades
A player who repeatedly trades with the same villager can move bundles of items in one click and check the remaining offers at a glance.
Planning emerald runs
Checking the sales left on each offer before a trade helps a player decide which villagers are still worth visiting.
Who it’s for: Players of single-player worlds and multiplayer servers who trade often with villagers on Fabric or NeoForge for 1.21.1. Since it is a client mod, it fits anyone who wants a better trading screen without changing the server.
How it compares
Villager Trade is also open source under the MIT License, but it is built for both the client and the server, works on Fabric and NeoForge, and covers 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, so every player and the server need it. Bulk Villager Trading Reborn is client-side only on Fabric and NeoForge for 1.21.1, like this mod, but it is not open source. Infinite Villager Trading is server-side only, Fabric only, and covers 1.21.11 – 26.2, so players join without installing it.
