Unique Cartographer Explorer Maps Mod
by logans.0676
Unique Cartographer Explorer Maps Mod changes the explorer maps that Cartographer villagers sell, so a purchased map leads to a unique structure.
What it does
Cartographer villagers normally sell explorer maps that point to a structure, and each villager offers the same kind of map. This mod makes every purchased explorer map lead to a unique structure, so buying a second map from the same villager gives a different destination. Players who want an infinite supply of Trial Chamber maps can get them from one Cartographer without visiting several villagers.
Only the first explorer map a Cartographer sells after a world loads makes the game pause briefly, and each map bought afterward pauses it for a few seconds. Explorer Maps ignore villager discounts, so the full price is always charged regardless of reputation. The mod brings Cartographer villagers closer to their Bedrock counterparts, where purchased explorer maps also lead to unique structures. It was built from BluSunrize's code and was used by the Villa La Revolution mod.
The mod has the client and server environment, so both the server and every player need it, and it requires Fabric API. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge for 1.21.8 only, under the MIT License, which is not open source.
Key features
Unique explorer map destinations
Each explorer map bought from a Cartographer leads to a different structure rather than a repeated one.

A single Cartographer can supply several distinct maps, instead of needing a different villager for each one.
Full price on every map
Explorer Maps ignore villager discounts, so the price shown in the trade interface is what the player pays.
Bedrock-style Cartographers
Cartographer behavior moves closer to Bedrock Edition, where purchased explorer maps also lead to unique structures.
