Librarian Tweaks
by yoruniii
Librarian Tweaks changes the book trades offered by librarian villagers in Fabric worlds for 1.18.1.
What it does
The mod reworks what librarian villagers sell. Each trade level offers books with a set chance of being a book trade, and the books offered are limited to lower-tier enchantments. At the first level, about two in three trades are a book trade, and those books are only common ones up to enchantment level 2, across 9 trades. At the second level, a similar chance applies, but the books are uncommon and capped at a lower enchantment level, across 7 trades.
At the third level, about two in three trades are again book trades, and the books offered are rare but at worse enchantment levels, across 5 trades. The fourth level keeps a 67 percent chance for rare books at lower levels, across 3 trades. The changes affect only what librarians sell, so other villager professions and loot are not altered.
The server and every player need the mod installed. It is published for Fabric only, with a single build, 1.0.0 for 1.18.1, released on 2022-01-23 under the MIT License, and the source code is public.
Key features
Reduced book trades
Librarian trades at each level have a set chance of offering a book trade rather than always giving one.
Common books at level one
At trade level one, the librarian's book offer draws from common books capped at enchantment level 2, spread over 9 trades.
Rare books with lower levels
Higher levels offer rare books, but at weaker enchantment levels, across fewer trades.
Villager trade changes only
The changes limit what librarians sell and leave other trades and loot untouched.
