Do you find yourself frustrated by the inexplicable and nonsensical trades that villagers offer? Say goodbye to those head-scratching moments as "Reasonable Trades" comes to the rescue. This datapack is dedicated to restoring reason and coherence to the villagers' economic activities, making the world of trading in Minecraft feel more authentic and immersive.

Gone are the days of farmers buying their own crops or clerics obtaining redstone through mysterious means. With "Reasonable Trades," each villager will now engage in trades that align perfectly with their professions. Farmers will purchase the necessary tools and seeds to tend their crops, while offering their well-tended produce in return. Witness clerics obtain redstone through logical means, ensuring a more realistic trading experience throughout the village.

As a player, you'll have the chance to actively participate in this new, sensible trade system. Engage in transactions that make sense, and you'll find yourself becoming a successful merchant. Accumulate wealth in the form of gold or, in the future "Emerald Edition," even the rarest of all gems, emeralds. The village economy will thrive as you make strategic decisions and contribute to the growth of the trading community.

For those with a passion for crafting, "Reasonable Trades" has you covered too. Delve into well-balanced trades scattered around various villages, offering essential resources to fuel your creative endeavors. Crafters will find themselves spoiled for choice, as they gather the required materials with ease and precision.

But this is only the beginning of the journey. "Reasonable Trades" is a dynamic datapack, with future updates planned to introduce even more exciting features. The world of Minecraft will continue to evolve, offering ever more immersive and engaging experiences.





VERSION: all the research I did prior to the development of ReasonableTrades pointed towards the fact that the current version of the pack (6) should match from 1.15 to 1.20. Still, I test most of my code on 1.16.5, so if you have any versioning issues hit me up and we can sort it out.

Curios about my trades? I am an artisan myself irl and I know quite a few things about most of the minecraft professions. Some items bough or sold in this mod might seem strange, but it's because I'm picking stuff that is necessary to such craft (ex. leatherworkers buying bones or honeycomb).

I'm not a mathematician or economist tho, so if you are one of them and feel like my calculations of price are incorret, hit me up!

What about villager experience? My usual concept of development was to use most of minecraft current trade system to enhance every trade. I think the concept of villagers upgrading is awesome, and most trading generators seem to ignore that for some reason. My idea is to keep the development of villagers interesting, unlocking useful trades each time they upgrade! For memory reasons tho (as I myself don't that that great of a computer) I chose the "update trades" moment as noon: makes all the sence don't you think? Once they are done with lunch and gossiping around the bell, they have unlocked the necessary products to buy during afternoon.

Didn't like my trades? No problem! The code is 200% commented and organized, made to adequate the needs of the most novice coder!
