Data Trader

by MelanX

Data Trader lets a villager-like entity act as a trader whose offers are defined by the player's own configuration, and it can be summoned with a command.

ForgeNeoForgeClient and serverApache License 2.0Open source1.18.2 – 1.21.1

What it does

The trader is a villager-like entity that sells configured offers: a player supplies a buy item, sometimes a second buy item, and receives a sell item in return. Each offer has a maxUses value, and once that many trades are made the trader must restock before it can trade again. A trade can also grant experience points as set by rewardExp. The example configuration includes only one merchant offer.

The trader is summoned with a specific trading table using the datatrader summon command, and offers can be changed through data packs. The mod requires LibX. Data Trader runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Builds cover 1.18.2 – 1.21.1 for Forge and NeoForge, under the Apache License 2.0, and the code is open source.

Key features

  1. Configurable trade offers

    Buy items, sell items, maxUses and experience rewards are set per offer, so the trader's stock can be tuned.

  2. Summon command

    The datatrader summon command places a trader with a chosen trading table at a given point.

  3. Data pack support

    Trade tables can be customized with data packs, so offers can be changed without editing the mod.
