Villager Autotrade
by DevMaarten
Villager Autotrade lets villagers execute trades on their own, fed from chests placed above and below each villager.
What it does
A villager with an input chest above it and an output chest below it takes items from the upper chest, performs its enabled trades, and places the results in the lower chest. Players can build automated trading setups this way without manual clicking. Each villager is configured separately by shift and right-clicking it, where the owner enables trades and sets their priority order with arrows.
The mod works in singleplayer and on dedicated servers. It runs on Fabric and needs Fabric API, and both the server and every player need it, since the trade settings are applied on the server side.

Key features
Automatic trade execution
Villagers perform trades from items supplied by chests, barrels or other containers placed above or below them.
Per-villager configuration
Shift and right-clicking a villager opens its trade settings, where each trade can be enabled or disabled.
Trade priority ordering
Enabled trades can be reordered with arrows, so a villager works through its offers in the chosen sequence.
Natural restock
Trades restock through normal villager workstation use, so no extra mechanic is needed to refill offers.
