Miniblock Merchants

This mod provides over two dozen new villager professions which trade nearly 1000 miniblocks to decorate your world!

Gameplay

If you come across a conversion item for a miniblock merchant, you can use it to convert an existing villager. For this to work, the villager must be unemployed and be an adult. Right-click the villager with the item to convert them into the corresponding profession!

FAQ

Will you port this to Forge or Quilt?

Probably, but I won't promise a particular time frame.

Can I use this in a modpack?

Absolutely!

Why should I use this over the datapack version?

This depends on a number of things. If you are playing on a purely vanilla server or cannot install mods for whatever reason, the datapack is absolutely the right way to go. The datapack is also a more future-proof option, although I plan to keep this mod up to date for the foreseeable future.

The datapack is also easier to remove than this mod. If you disable and remove the datapack, existing miniblock traders will keep their professions and trades. That is not the case here (yet).

Credits

This mod couldn't possibly exist without the Miniblock Traders datapack by maxheyn. His work is amazing, and I encourage people to try out the datapack before using this mod. While the names of the professions, conversion items, and some other text has been reused, all code was written by me. Additionally, all villager textures were created by me and were inspired by a variety of skins from sites such as minecraftskins.com and planetminecraft.com. A list of each skin used as inspiration can be found here.
