PepelandShop

The mod reads shop signs as the client loads chunks around the player. For each sign it tries to identify the item and the price, and it highlights prices by their color. Entries it recognizes are gathered into a single interface, so a player can browse a large player-made shop area without walking past every row. The mod was made for sign-based shops on large survival servers, where checking each sign by hand is slow.

Item matching is not limited to exact vanilla names; it also accepts partial and simplified wording. The mod also handles partial names, simplified names and common wording that players use on signs. Entries it cannot resolve are listed separately instead of being dropped. Because it only sees signs in chunks the client has loaded, a shop area may look partly empty at first. Moving around the area, loading more chunks and refreshing the sign data once the area has loaded gives a fuller list.

The mod runs on the client only, so players install it and server owners do not need to change anything. It is published for Fabric and open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. Its only target is 1.21.8, with the latest file 2.3.0 for 1.21.8 on the beta channel.
