Trouble getting a villager to buy books
Ontvlambaar
So I'm working with custom villagers. Upon trading villager #1, you get Quest book #1.
You have to deliver Quest book #1 to villager #2 to get the next questbook and so on..
I tried using villager /summon's, and for the first villager everything works flawless - but as soon as I try to get Villager #2 to buy the first quest book, it wont give in.
Villager 1 summon command:
Villager 2:
As an attempt to fix this, I tried copying the sellitem from the command into the buy slot of villager #2, but that didn't work.
Does anyone here have experience with that? Or suggestions on how to make this work? Been cracking my brain all morning trying to fix this..

These commands should work:

Upon reading the book, the nbt-count increases from 4 to 5 again. Villager 2 doesn't buy the books after they've been read.. Not sure what's causing this, but it sure is annoying.
Using NBT-explorer I found that the book's nbt-tag entry that's being added upon reading is "resolved:1". Would adding

resolved:1b after the author in the command work?2
I would personally just add a "Book:1" tag to book from the first villager:

And only test for that in the second villager:

This way you don't have to check every single tag the book has (so you don't have to worry about things changing around when you read the book. Because that's what is happening, it's rearranging some tags after you read it for the first time and that's causing an issue it seems), but it will still only work with the book you want (because of the custom Book:1 tag). For the second quest book, you just use Book:2, etc etc.

That works for me too! Thanks!

That worked, awesome! I compared the commands you sent me with the ones I was using. Only noticed a space as difference, was that causing the book to not be bought? The NBT-tag of the book reduced from 5 to 4 it seems?
Thanks ALOT!

You must be using different commands than the commands you pasted in here, because both of them had errors in them.

Forgot to mention.. BuyB for Villager #2 is not what I really want him to buy. I tried adding another buy item to go alongside the book to fix this.
The sell item for Villager #2 is incorrect too. That should become a second quest book later.
