Malt's Villager Menu
by jhughes-dev
Malt's Villager Menu lets players open a villager's inventory, status and trade data in a dedicated menu, where the values can be read or changed.
What it does
The menu shows a villager's inventory, along with status values such as grudges, gossip and reputation, which are otherwise hard to see. Creative-mode players can edit these values, and the inventory can be modified in the same screen. Tabs for villager status and inventory are added to the menu, so the data is grouped instead of spread across commands.
The mod is useful for diagnosing problems with villager farms, such as checking whether a villager was de-zombified or what a worker is carrying. It was built around an in-game UI for stats that would otherwise need commands to set. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge across 16 release versions, 1.21.1 – 26.3, under the MIT License, and the mod is not open source.

Testing trades
A creative player can adjust reputation or gossip values to see how a villager reacts before building a larger setup.
Who it’s for: Players who maintain villager trading halls or farms, and server owners who need to inspect villagers without writing commands.

What the author says
Villagers have their own inventory, can wear equipment, and have a lot of invisible stats that you can set with commands, but it's difficult to write all that out. This mod creates additional UI tabs for villagers that shows the inventory and allows you to modify it (in creative) or set things like their praise…
