Villager Tweaks
by Prunty
Villager Tweaks gives server owners direct control over several villager mechanics, including infinite trades, wandering traders, cure discounts and reputation caps.
What it does
Villagers in vanilla Minecraft can be strong and unevenly balanced depending on the world. Villager Tweaks exposes simple config options for high-impact mechanics: trades can be made infinite, wandering traders can be turned off, and their spawn interval can be changed. Cure discounts can be scaled, trade refresh timing adjusted, breeding cooldown changed, and reputation and gossip caps set.
The mod is aimed at survival multiplayer servers and custom progression setups where an administrator wants a specific villager balance. Because its options are set in configuration rather than in play, a server can keep one balance for all its players. Villager Tweaks requires Fabric API and is published for Fabric only, with builds covering 1.20 – 26.1.2 and the latest file, 1.1.0+mc26.1.x, made for 26.1.2. Only the server needs it to change behavior, and clients may skip it. The code is under the MIT License and is not open source under that label alone, since the license is the only public statement of terms.
Key features
Infinite trades option
A toggle removes the trade limit, so villagers keep offering their trades without running out until they restock.
Wandering trader controls
Wandering traders can be disabled entirely, or their spawn interval can be changed to suit the world's pace.
Cure discount scaling
The discount a player receives after curing a zombie villager can be scaled up or down with its own setting.
Trade refresh and breeding timing
Trade restock timing and the breeding cooldown can each be adjusted, so villager activity follows the server's rules.
Reputation and gossip caps
Caps on reputation and gossip can be set, limiting how far villager standing can grow in a given world.
