Villager See Villager Do Mod (1.21.7, 1.20.1) – Control Villager Trades in Minecraft

Villager See Villager Do Mod (1.21.7, 1.20.1) introduces a creative and interactive twist to Minecraft’s villager trading system by allowing players to manipulate and influence villager trades using items thrown directly at them. Rather than relying solely on workstation blocks and RNG-based trades, this mod empowers players with a more hands-on approach to villager economics.

By tossing specific items at villagers, you can encourage them to adopt new trades or swap their current ones all based on the item you offer. This creates a more immersive and controlled trading system, ideal for custom villages, roleplay servers, or advanced economy mechanics.

The mod also supports configuration via a simple JSON file (villager_see_villager_do.json), making it highly flexible for modpack creators and server admins who want to define their own trade behavior rules.

Features:

• Interactive Trading Mechanic: Throw specific items at villagers to influence or update their trades, making the system more immersive than static workstations.
• Customizable Trade Logic: The mod reads from a JSON config file where you can define which items trigger which trade behaviors, offering total control over villager responses.
• Works With Vanilla Professions: You don’t need to add new villagers or roles — the system enhances existing job types with new interactivity.
• Immersive & Fun: Creates a bartering-like experience where villagers react to your offerings dynamically.
• Config File Location: Customize behavior via
  /.minecraft/config/villager_see_villager_do.json.
• Fabric & Quilt Compatible: Optimized for lightweight modpacks and modern Minecraft setups.

Why Use Villager See Villager Do Mod?

The vanilla villager system is powerful but often rigid and grindy. Players must rely on placing workstations, breaking them repeatedly, or using zombification tricks to optimize trades. Villager See Villager Do offers a more organic and roleplay-friendly alternative.

This mod is perfect for:

• SMP or economy servers that want dynamic trading mechanics
• Adventure maps or RPG-style gameplay where NPC interaction matters
• Players who want more control without complex commands or mods
• Modpack creators designing progression systems tied to item offerings
• Vanilla+ worlds that want realism without overhauling the entire villager AI

With this mod, villagers finally respond more like intelligent bartering NPCs not just static trade machines.
