Enchantment Embargo

by mageowl

Enchantment Embargo stops villagers from trading enchanted books, so a village never sells them on a server running it.

NeoForgeServer-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.21.1

What it does

Villagers in affected villages will not offer enchanted books for trade, which removes a shortcut to enchantments from the server economy. The change happens on the server, so players join without installing anything. Files target NeoForge for 1.21.1 only, released under the MIT License, and the source code is public.

Key features

  1. Blocks villager book trades

    Villagers stop selling enchanted books, so players must find enchantments through other routes.

  2. Village trade control

    The restriction applies to villages across the world, keeping the trade list free of enchanted books.

  3. Open source code

    The source is published under the MIT License, so server owners can read exactly what the restriction changes.

No Villager Trading is a server-side only mod for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 1.21 – 1.21.4 under the MIT License, so it can be swapped in on Fabric servers.

What the author says

Prevent villages from selling enchanted books. Should be compatable with most mods, but I haven't checked. Fun fact: The icon is a reference to the "Embargo" card from the board game Dominion. It's one of my favourite games.
