Trading Post [Forge & Fabric] Mod

A single villager can have multiple villagers with different professions offering numerous different trades. Unless you have a well-organized trading hall, finding and trading with specific villagers can be a hassle. The Trading Post mod is here with the solution.

What is a Trading Post?

Using the recipe given below, a new block called the "trading post" can be crafted. This block basically allows you to trade with multiple villagers simultaneously, making it so that you do not have to search throughout the village to find that one villager you are looking for.

Trading Post Interface

Place down the trading post and right-click on it to open it's GUI. This GUI opens up the trade offers of all villagers within a configurable radius. As you can see in the image, trades specific to blacksmiths, farmers and librarians are all given in the same interface.

Where to Place the Trading Post?

As mentioned above, the trading post only detects and offers trades from villagers within a certain radius. Therefore, if you are planning to utilize the trading post to trade with multiple villagers from a village, make sure to place the trading post somewhere closer to the geometrical center of the village. Alternatively, you can also configure the mod to increase the limit.

Trading Post Animation

The attention to detail put in by the mod creator is very noticeable from the first use of the trading post. From a distance, the trading post appears to have an emerald lying flat on it's top surface. As you move closer, the diamond pops up and starts hovering over the trading post.
