VillagerTradeEditor
by madfish.od
VillagerTradeEditor lets server operators edit the trade lists of villagers from in-game commands and hotbar items, with timed trade limits as an option.
What it does
A server operator can select a standard villager by crouching and right-clicking it, after which commands can show its offers, insert a fresh offer, swap out an old one, delete one offer or empty the entire set. Trades are built from the items in hotbar slots 1, 2 and 3, so a trade such as an enchanted diamond sword for 25 emeralds is set up by holding those items.
The mod also adds global timed trade limits, which cap how often a trade can be used. Timers count Minecraft in-game time, so sleeping in a bed advances them. The mod is Server-side only: players join without installing it, and only the server needs the Fabric Loader build. It targets Minecraft 1.21.10 and is released under the MIT License, but it is not open source.
Key features
Trade list commands
Commands show, add, replace, remove and clear the trades of the selected villager.
Hotbar trade builder
Fresh and substitute offers draw their goods from hotbar slots 1, 2 and 3, which means no dedicated tool is required.
Operator-only editing
Only players with permission level 2 or higher can change trades, and the default keeps it to server operators.
Global timed limits
Trade limits apply across the server and reset on a timer measured in in-game time, which sleeping advances.

Use cases
Custom shop villagers
Server operators can set a villager to sell items that the vanilla trade pool does not offer.
Limiting rare trades
A timed limit can cap how often a valuable trade is used, so one player cannot empty the supply at once.
Who it’s for: Server owners and operators who run a Fabric server on Minecraft 1.21.10 and want to change villager trades without editing data files.
