Wares
by mortuusars
Wares turns trading in villages into a delivery economy, where players buy and sell goods through a Delivery Table and villagers fulfill the orders.
What it does
Players take Delivery Agreements that list goods to buy or sell, and the orders are carried out through a Delivery Table, a workstation for a new villager profession. Packagers, the villagers who take on this work, pack the goods automatically and earn experience as they complete deliveries, and each level raises the number of packages they can handle. Packages appear as small loot boxes that hold the delivered items, and agreements can also spawn in village Warehouses.
The mod is aimed mainly at modpacks and economy-focused play, and it includes some content that works without any setup. Its trading is built on villager trading with extra steps, so buying and selling feels more involved than standard emerald exchanges. Adding new agreements requires editing NBT data on an item, which is the main setup task for pack makers. Wares needs Forge or NeoForge, runs on client and server, and is released under the MIT License as open source. Builds cover 1.18.2 – 1.20.1, with the latest Forge file for 1.20.1 published on 2026-01-01 and the latest NeoForge file for 1.20.1 on 2024-04-20. The CTOV - Wares compat mod depends on it.

What the author says
The mod is made primarily for modpacks. To create Delivery Agreements you'll need to edit the nbt of an item. Although it includes some of the content out of the box: Agreements will spawn in village Warehouses.
