What it does

Piglin bartering loot is rebalanced: the mod adds a set of useful nether items to the barter loot table and removes a few entries, such as splash potions, fire resistance, water bottles and iron boots, to keep trades balanced. Most of the gold is handled through a data pack that is also published for the mod. The server needs the mod; players may add it to their clients. Builds cover 1.21.4 – 26.3 on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, under All rights reserved.
