TradeWatch

by duzzl

TradeWatch keeps a list of wanted enchanted books and flags librarian offers that match it, so a matching deal stands out on the merchant screen.

What it does

A wishlist holds the enchantments of interest, each with a maximum emerald price set per level from 1 to 64. Entries use Minecraft registry identifiers, and the search field accepts short names such as eff or mend to select an enchantment. Prices are configured per enchantment level, so Efficiency IV can be watched at 15 emeralds while Efficiency V is watched at 32. When a matching offer appears on a merchant screen, the matching rows turn green, a vanilla ping sounds once per opened screen, and a center-screen panel reports the result. Only enchanted-book offers are checked, and the comparison uses the actual emerald cost shown on the offer, including any discounts.

The mod never clicks, rerolls, trades, interacts with blocks or breaks lecterns. It only reads and highlights offers, so the purchase stays with the player. Entries that refer to registry identifiers no longer present are removed safely after registry synchronization. The configuration screen opens with the G key by default, and the key can be rebound in Minecraft Controls. Mod Menu is optional and adds a Configure button. The mod requires Fabric Loader and Fabric API and is open source under the MIT License.

Key features

  1. Enchantment wishlist

    Watched enchantments are stored by level, and each level has its own maximum price from 1 to 64 emeralds.

  2. Offer highlighting

    Matching rows on a villager merchant screen turn green, and a non-blocking sound plays once per opened screen.

  3. Exact price check

    The comparison uses the emerald cost actually shown on the offer, including discounts, rather than the base price.

  4. Command-free editing

    Watched levels are added, removed or cleared from the configuration screen, and clearing needs an explicit confirmation.

Questions

Does TradeWatch need Fabric API?

Yes. The mod requires Fabric Loader and Fabric API. It is published for Fabric only, so Forge and NeoForge are not supported.

Does TradeWatch have to be on the server?

No. It is installed on the player's side alone, so servers need nothing. Players join a server without installing anything extra.

How are prices set for different levels?

Each enchantment level has its own maximum emerald price. A price of 32 is written in the exact price:32 syntax when added through the wishlist, and the range is 1 to 64.
