No Trades
by choco422
No Trades lets server owners and modpack creators turn off villager and Wandering Trader trading, profession by profession.
What it does
The mod restricts villager trading, which the author describes as a way to stop players from reaching end-game gear such as Mending books or Diamond armor too early in a progression. A global toggle switches the whole mechanic on or off, and a separate setting controls trades with the Wandering Trader. Profession exceptions let a pack allow some professions while blocking others, for example Butchers allowed while Librarians are banned.
Professions are read from a dynamic list that includes professions added by other mods. Settings can be changed in a screen opened through Mod Menu, where each profession is toggled on or off, and the config file can also be edited by hand. The rule is enforced on the server, so players without the mod cannot bypass it, while players who have it installed get a cleaner interaction with no trade GUI or hand swing. The mod is published for Fabric only, across 4 release versions, 1.21.8 – 1.21.11, under the MIT License, and it is not open source.
Key features
Global trading toggle
A single switch turns trading restrictions on or off instantly, without restarting the world.
Per-profession whitelist
Each profession can be allowed or blocked on its own, including modded professions.
Wandering Trader control
Trades with the Wandering Trader can be allowed or disallowed separately from villager trades.
Server-enforced rule
The restriction is enforced on the server, so clients cannot get around it, and the trade screen never opens for blocked professions.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Server owners, modpack creators and players who want to set their own limits on villager trading. Players on a server that enforces the rule need the mod only for the cleaner interaction.
How it compares
Villager Reroll is a Fabric mod for 1.21.4 – 1.21.11, open source under the MIT License, that runs on client and server, so it is a different kind of tool for villagers. Better Wandering Trader Spawning is server-side only, open source under the MIT License, and published for 1.21.7, so it changes Wandering Trader spawns rather than trade rules. Super Trader is server-side only, not open source, under All rights reserved, and covers 1.21.10 – 26.2.
