Society Trading
by Chakyl
Society Trading gives modpack developers a way to define shops and trades in data, with trading screens players can use in survival and multiplayer worlds.
What it does
Shops are created through data, so a modpack maker can set how many custom shops exist and bind each one to a villager profession, an entity or a block. A tag set opens a shop selector that lists the shops in one place. The mod ships with trades, and more detail on creating shops is found on the project wiki.
The trading screen replaces the vanilla trading interface. Items are taken straight from the player's inventory instead of being moved slot by slot, and shift-clicking the trade output slot moves a whole stack at once. Trades can also be viewed in a JEI-style list. Shops and trades can be restricted by stage or by season through Serene Seasons, and bank account purchases are supported through Numismatics and Numismatics Utils, including shared accounts used with Blaze Bankers. Create is named as a companion that extends the mod.
Society Trading requires Placebo. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, and the code is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only.
