Nice Villager Master Trades
by NiceRon
Nice Villager Master Trades lets server owners give Master-level villagers a broader, configurable set of trades, with items sold back to the trader.
What it does
Master Traders can take items back from players, so a sale returns value rather than only offering purchases. The list of items a trader can offer is set through the mod's config files, and the author points to an Explorer's Eden wiki page for the available item types. Changes to the config take effect once the files are edited as described in the wiki.
Installation needs the server to run the mod, while players can join without it. On a PaperMC server or a fork such as Purpur, the allow-non-player-entities-on-scoreboards option must be set to true in paper settings for the trades to work. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, for 1.21.3 – 1.21.11, and the code is under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later.

What the author says
A list of available items for each type of Trader can be found in our wiki: Explorer's Eden Wiki But if you are playing on a PaperMC Server (or a PaperMC Fork like Purpur) make sure to set allow-non-player-entities-on-scoreboards in your paper config files to true in order for everything to work properly.
