Villager Ordinance
by Pepsied
Villager Ordinance is a Fabric and Forge management mod that gives players full control over villager professions, trades and workstations in the world.
What it does
The mod lets players search, tune and manage villagers through on-screen panels rather than notes kept outside the game or repeated guessing. Trades can be previewed before committing emeralds or experience, and locked future tiers can be inspected to decide whether they are worth the path.
Villager behavior can be adjusted in detail, covering restock timing, infinite trades, cures for zombie villagers, nitwit and wandering trader behavior, iron golem spawning and zombie sieges. Manual rerolls and full auto-cycle sessions run directly from the trading screen, and a rollback keeps near-miss trades available. Villager Ordinance requires Fabric API and is published for Fabric and Forge. The server and every player need the mod installed.
Key features
Locked trade previews
A merchant overlay shows locked future trades, so a player can plan a villager's path before spending any materials.
Auto-cycle rerolling
Manual rerolls and automatic cycles run from the trading screen, with a rollback that restores the strongest result found.
Reusable condition editor
Filters such as exact librarian searches or blacklist-style rules can be saved as reusable trade profiles.
Workstation diagnostics
Unemployed villagers, breeders and broken workstations are inspected on screen, with explanations in place of guesses.
