Adding Trades


You can add trades in 2 ways, either using a hopper for single trades or a barrel for chain trades,
you can switch between them by pressing [​Add Single Trade] or [​Add Chain Trade]. make sure to follow the guidelines for adding your trades in

---

Multi Villager Shop at Once


You can have multiple Shops up at once, simply hit the villager to select it (this is will not effect his or surrounding villager's trades)

---

Changing Appearance & Name


You can have Villagers Hold and or Wear(on their heads) items!, I made it real simply and simply putting the desired item on your offhand (f) and selecting the option [​Set Held Item] or [​Set Head Item]



You can also change the Villager's Name by clicking [​Get Rename Book]. it is in JSON text so if you have no clue how to use it, please click [​Get Rename Manual]. I tried my best to easily explain it for you guys!

once you put the custom name in the book, simply drop it onto the ground and the Selected Villager's name will be changed!

IMPORTANT: DO NOT sign the Rename Book, it is made to be re-edited

---

Saving Your Villager

Once you have chosen all your configs for the villager, simply hit the [​Save] button on the first page of the book!

You will receive an egg with the Villager's Data available for you to place anywhere in the world, and there you go! your new custom villager shop is ready to go!

Setup
Move villagershopscreator.zip folder in the datapacks folder (Roaming > .minecraft > saves > {name of your world} > datapacks)
/reload the world once added
Do /function shop_creator:fix if you need to start again with a clean slate.
Recommended: Read How It Works

Help
If you encounter a problem or issue with the datapack, and if it hasn't been covered here, please let me know down in the comments
(Any useful helpful information will go right here if needed)

--Shop Wont Create if I spawn a Villager--
make sure you are spawning the villager with a villager spawn egg, using the /summon command wont work

--How can I go back to a previous trade I made without deleting my way back?--
I added a [​Extract] feature to tackle this issue, unfortunately its more work but in my opinion, better in the long run

--I lost my custom egg and deleted my shop!--
don't worry, if you drop a default villager spawn egg near a villager created by the shop, it will drop it's egg! (Only in Creative mode)

--opening the book constantly to add a trade is frustrating, is there an easier way?--
yes!, if you run the command: /function shop_creator:signs , you will get 7 signs with different functions, simply right click them to do the functions

--I hate where I placed down my Custom Villager at!--
don't worry, if you drop a barrier block down near a Custom Villager, then that villager will be killed, easy

--I want the villager to face a different direction!--
easy, summon a debug stick in and when you hold it near a custom finished villager it will face you until you deselect the stick

--Can't get the datapack to work?--
try using the command: /datapack <list, enable, disable> and see if "file/villagershopscreator" is there
if it is then you might need to enable it.
(note. the datapack isn't installed if it doesn't show up on list, disable or enable)
(note2. if the datapack still does not show up it could be a problem relating to the server's provider)
