Trade For Gunpowder
by Hattoe
Trade For Gunpowder changes the Toolsmith villager trades in Minecraft so that players can buy gunpowder and firework rockets from them.
What it does
The Toolsmith villager trades gain an offer of 32 emeralds for 64 gunpowder, and the mod adds firework rocket trades to the same profession. Because it only edits what Toolsmiths sell, the change works with vanilla Toolsmith villagers and needs no new blocks to craft or find.
The mod is small and lightweight, and it works both in singleplayer and on servers. Some settings are exposed through its configuration file, so server owners can adjust the offers before players reach them. Trade For Gunpowder runs on Fabric Loader with Fabric API, and it covers Minecraft versions from 1.21.x onward through the 26.x builds.
The mod is server-side only: players join a server running it without installing anything, and only the server needs the file. Trade For Gunpowder is published for Fabric alone, with 24 release versions in the 1.20 – 26.3 span. It is not open source and is distributed under a custom license by its author, Hattoe.
