Shifting Wares
by Estecka
Shifting Wares makes villagers reroll their trade offers on their own, up to three times a day, so a single villager can offer a wider set of goods over time.
What it does
Villagers reroll trade offers without any player action. The effect is most visible for professions that sell enchanted or colored items, where one villager gradually shows a much larger variety of wares. A persistent offer can be rerolled only once a player has bought from it, and the gamerule shifting-wares:allow persistent reroll has to be switched on, a setting that ships disabled.
The mod is meant to weaken exploitative trading and give more room to chance-based play. Perfect trades do not stay forever, poor trades eventually improve, and villagers become simple to replace when they die because every offer expires. Fabric API is required, and Shifting-Wares: VillagerConfig Addon depends on this mod. Players join without it, since only the server has to run the mod. The mod is open source under the European Union Public License 1.2 and is published for Fabric across 25 release versions, 1.19.4 – 26.3.
Key features
Daily rerolls
Villagers replace their offers on their own, up to three times in a single day.
Depleted rerolls
Trades that have been used up can be rerolled, giving a fresh set of offers from the same villager.
Persistent trade control
Trades marked persistent in datapacks can be rerolled only after use and under the persistent reroll gamerule.
Forced persistence for maps
Trades that sell filled maps are always persistent, identified by their map id component.
