VillagerContracts Extended
by 0xNull
VillagerContracts Extended lets players right-click a contract to pick a villager profession and career from a simple interface, instead of relying on a tooltip anvil system.
What it does
Holding a contract and right-clicking opens a selection screen where the profession and career available in the game can be chosen. The mod adds an alternative to the tooltip-based anvil workflow, which some players find tedious and which can push tooltips off screen when many mods are installed. Changing a villager's profession resets its trades, and a Reset Profession option is included.
VillagerContracts Extended builds on Invadermonky's Villager Contracts and adds a number of changes to the original code. Its detection system is compatible with villager profession mods in general, so it works with vanilla Minecraft, Ice and Fire, ROTH Edition and Immersive Engineering without interface configuration. A configuration file lets server owners and modpack authors adjust its behavior.
VillagerContracts Extended is open source under the MIT License and is published for Forge only, with the 1.3.8 file for 1.12.2 as the latest build from 2026-09-22. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too.
Key features
Contract selection screen
Right-clicking a held contract opens an interface where the profession and career can be selected directly.
Profession reset
A Reset Profession option returns a villager to its unassigned state, and changing the profession clears its trades.
General mod compatibility
The detection system works with villagers added by other mods, so no per-mod setup is needed to select their professions.
