Stop Villager Trades
by arcanealloy
Stop Villager Trades turns off the trading screen for villagers, so a player who clicks one cannot open a trade.
What it does
Stop Villager Trades disables the trading interface that opens when a player interacts with a villager. The mod was written for players who grow tired of mining resources and then trading them away, and who want villagers to remain in the world without offering trades. Once it is installed, villagers no longer present a trade menu, and the trade flow is removed from the game.
The mod is listed for Forge and NeoForge, with files covering 7 release versions across 1.19.2 – 1.21.1. The newest Forge file is 1.0 for 1.20.2, published 2023-11-18, and the newest NeoForge file is 1.1 for 1.21.1, published 2026-04-19. Servers do not need it; each player installs it for their own game. The code is not open source; the mod is released under All rights reserved, although its source code is publicly available.

How it compares
Trade Preset is a client and server mod under the MIT License, open source, for Forge and NeoForge across 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, so it changes trade offers instead of removing them. Price Lock is server-side only and not open source, released under All rights reserved for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, so it is the option for servers that want to change prices rather than disable trades. Stop Villager Trades is client-side only and is not open source.
