Trade Overhaul

by UnnamedUser

Trade Overhaul changes how villagers trade, turning fixed merchant offers into a system that works more like an RPG exchange with non-player characters.

FabricClient and serverMIT License1.20.1

What it does

Trade Overhaul replaces the usual single trade screen with a window that shows the player's inventory on one side and the villager's inventory on the other. Players can buy items from a villager in the quantities the villager requires, sell items to a villager, and craft new goods from existing items, tools, resources, weapons and armor while keeping the original properties and enchantments. Villagers gain new trade offers as they level up, and a villager at a workstation sells the goods that station calls for. Stock is refreshed after a set time, which the mod configuration changes. Each trade can be made in bulk without opening separate trade offers one at a time.

Players can also dismantle unwanted items into their component parts and repair tools, weapons and armor. Villagers and farmers become places to sell surplus goods for money. The mod is configurable down to most details, and the refresh interval is set in the same configuration. Trade Overhaul runs on the client and on the server, so both need it. It is released for Fabric only, for 1.20.1, and the latest file is 1.1.3 for 1.20.1 on the beta channel. The code is under the MIT License, and the project is not open source.

Key features

  1. Two-panel trade window

    Opening a villager shows the player's inventory and the villager's inventory side by side.

  2. Bulk trading

    Large quantities of a good can be traded in one action instead of separate offers.

  3. Crafting with preserved properties

    New items can be made from existing ones while keeping their enchantments and original properties.

  4. Dismantling and repair

    Unwanted items can be broken into component parts, and tools, weapons and armor can be repaired.

  5. Level-based trade offers

    Villagers open new trade offers as they level up, and their stock is refreshed on a timer.
