VillagerOverlay

by mymai1208

VillagerOverlay shows the items a villager needs for a trade in a simple overlay on the client.

FabricClient-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.20 – 1.20.4

What it does

When a player looks at a villager, the overlay displays the items required for its trade, so the trade can be read without opening the trading screen. The trade items are synchronized from the server, and the overlay can be activated from an open GUI. Only the client needs the mod, so servers run without it.

The mod is published for Fabric alone, for game versions 1.20 – 1.20.4, and the code is under the MIT License, making it open source. The latest file is 0.0.3 for 1.20.4, an alpha build released on 2024-08-14.

Key features

  1. Trade item overlay

    A simple overlay lists the items a villager needs in exchange for a trade.

  2. Synchronized trade data

    Trade items are synchronized from the server, so the overlay matches the villager the player is looking at.

  3. Open GUI activation

    The overlay can be switched on from a GUI, so players choose when it appears.

What the author says

This mod is a simple overlay displaying items needed to trade with the villagers. In the future we plan to implement the overlay marker feature for villagers. Trade items are not synchronized between client and server, so to activate the overlay, either match the crosshair to the villagers or open the GUI.
