Villager Trading Helper
by ElmerLion
Villager Trading Helper replaces the vanilla villager trade screen with a larger client-side browser for offers, filters and bulk trades.
What it does
Opening a villager shows its offers in a grid instead of one long vertical list, so a trade can be checked at a glance. The custom screen sorts offers by price, cheapest first or by name, and filters them to show only affordable trades, favorites or enchanted books. Trades that are discounted or out of stock are marked, and each offer shows how many times it can be completed with the items in the inventory.
Bulk actions such as Trade Max let a player complete a trade as many times as the stock and inventory allow in one click. Favorites are kept across sessions, so marked offers are still there the next time the game starts. The mod is client-side only, so a server does not need it and players join without installing it. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge, with game versions 1.21.11 – 26.3 and the latest file, 0.2.1+26.3, targeting 26.3 on the beta channel. The code is under the MIT License, but the project is not open source.
Key features
Grid trade browser
Offers are laid out in a grid, which makes scanning a villager's stock faster than reading a long list.
Sorting and filtering
Trades can be sorted by cost or name and filtered to affordable offers, favorites or enchanted books.
Stock and discount markers
Discounted and out-of-stock trades are flagged, and each offer shows how many completions the inventory allows.
One-click bulk trading
Quick actions such as Trade Max complete a trade repeatedly in a single click.
Saved favorites
Favorite trades are stored globally and remain marked across game sessions.

How it compares
Villager Trading Overhaul is client-side only, open source under the MIT License, and published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 1.20.1 – 26.2. Easy2Trade is also client-side only, supports Fabric and Forge for 1.21 – 26.3, and is not open source; its license is All rights reserved. Bulk Villager Trading is server-side only and open source under the MIT License, so servers and players interact with it differently from this client-side mod.
