TradePreview
by Evergood
TradePreview lets a player check a villager's trades from the world without opening the trading screen, and it also changes how enchanted books are chosen.
What it does
Holding the assigned key while looking at a villager shows its offers in an overlay. The overlay can be moved around the screen, and its colours and position are set in the mod's configuration screen. The trade check works from the game world, so the player does not have to open the villager's inventory first.
For enchanted books, the mod displays each book's name automatically, which removes the need to scroll through the offers one by one. Players can still scroll with the default UP and DOWN arrow keys or the mouse wheel to move through the offered enchanted items, and every key is set in the options menu. Chassis must be installed alongside the mod, and the Fabric build is the only loader it is published for.
The code is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 only, and the source and issue tracker are public. The mod runs on the client and on the server, so both sides need it.
Key features
Trade overlay
Pressing the assigned key shows a villager's offers without opening its trading inventory.
Movable overlay
The overlay can be dragged to another spot on the screen, so it does not cover the rest of the interface.
Enchanted book names
Book names appear automatically, so the offered enchanted items can be read without scrolling through each one.
Configurable keys and colours
Keys are set in the options menu, and the colours of the overlay and enchanted item selection are changed in the configuration screen.

VrikkaDuck's Autotrade is also client-side only and open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later, covering 1.20 – 1.20.4. Max Enchant Trade is a different kind of mod, and it is covered by the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later.
