No Villager Price Increase
by zampinomatti
No Villager Price Increase stops villagers from raising their trade prices after a player's reputation drops, by removing the negative gossip entries that drive those increases.
What it does
The mod is a datapack-based fix that runs a repeating scan of loaded villagers every 3 seconds. It deletes only the negative gossip entries that cause price increases and leaves positive reputation in place, so discounts from curing zombie villagers in a Hero of the Village state are kept. Price changes are driven entirely by the gossip system, which is why this removal works on its own.
Installation takes a single datapack folder placed in the world's datapack directory, followed by a reload. Running the uninstall function in game stops the scan cycle and removes its scoreboard flag, and a green confirmation message appears in chat. Fabric API is required on the Fabric loader, and the NeoForge build needs no extra library.
Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge across 15 release versions, 1.21.1 – 26.2. The latest Fabric file is 2.0 for 1.21.11, and the latest NeoForge file is 2.1 for 1.21.1. The license is All rights reserved, so the project is not open source.
