No Villager Profession Lock
by SpringFeddXD
No Villager Profession Lock removes the restriction that keeps a villager's profession fixed once a player has made a trade with it.
What it does
After a player trades with a villager, the profession lock normally stops that villager from changing jobs. This Fabric mod removes that lock, so villagers can keep their profession open after trading. It runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything. Files target 1.21.10 only, and the mod is released under the MIT License but is not open source.

What the author says
A extremely simple mod that took me 8 hours to figure out most of the game's code. This mod doesn't add much, as it only removes the annoying profession lock that villagers have, this was mostly created just for me and some friends, but decided to upload it on Modrinth if anyone else wants that annoying profession…
