Librarian Books Preview

by adesdot

Librarian Books Preview shows the enchanted books a librarian villager sells, with their emerald costs, as soon as a player aims at the villager.

FabricClient or server, optionalMIT License1.21.11 – 26.3

What it does

While a player looks at a librarian villager, the mod displays up to three enchanted book trades directly above that villager. Each trade shows the enchantment, its level and the emerald cost taken from the villager's actual trade requirement, so the numbers match the trading screen. Enchantment names are localized to the language the game is set to, and emerald counts pluralize correctly.

The preview is meant for players who want to compare librarian offers before opening the trading interface, and for server owners who want clients to see prices without extra steps. It only needs the aimed villager; no command or menu is involved. Librarian Books Preview is a Fabric mod, released under the MIT License, and is not open source. Files exist for 1.21.11 and 26.1 – 26.3, with 1.0.4 for 26.3 as the latest file from 2026-10-08.

Key features

  1. Up to three trades above the villager

    The overlay lists up to three enchanted book offers directly over the targeted librarian.

  2. Accurate emerald costs

    Prices are read from the villager's real trade requirements, so the displayed cost matches what the trade asks for.

  3. Localized enchantment names

    Enchantment names follow the Minecraft language setting in use.

  4. Compact HUD with emerald icons

    A small overlay with emerald icons and correct plural counts keeps the screen readable and leaves most of the view clear.
