Visual Villager Trade Edit
by sal-fish
Visual Villager Trade Edit lets players add custom villager trades through a graphical screen, with trades stored in a JSON file that can be reloaded in game.
What it does
Trades are managed from a main screen opened with the sal fish gui command on 1.x builds and the vvte gui command on 2.x builds. From there a trade can be viewed, edited or deleted, and a new one is created by choosing a profession, a result item, a price, an optional second price, a maximum number of uses and experience. The item picker uses the creative inventory, and the mod supports enchanted books, modded items and custom item names, NBT tags, enchantments and trade results.
The mod is client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 3 release versions, 1.20.1 – 1.21.11, and the code is under the MIT License, but the project is not open source. Trades are saved as JSON and reloaded with the sal fish reload command, and English and Chinese language files are included.
Key features
Graphical trade editor
Trades are added, viewed, edited and deleted from a screen, with a split-panel enchantment editor that supports scrolling.
Enchanted book trades
Enchanted books can be added with vanilla or modded enchantments, and enchantment data is stored separately to avoid registry issues.
Trade blacklist
A blacklist removes selected original villager trades, and a restore action brings them back.
Profession level hierarchy
Trades are organized by profession and level, and each custom trade records its level field.
