Auto Lectern (Fabric):
This mod basically breaks and places lecterns to cycle trades for you.
Usage:
Add a goal: /autolec add [enchant]? [(minLevel, maxLevel)/min/max/any] [(minPrice, maxPrice)/min/max/any] Look at a lectern /autolec start Stop: /autolec stop If there isn't any goal Auto Lectern will cycle forever. If you wish to make Auto Lectern wait for the lectern item to be picked up first, do /autolec sync item
Quick Start
Add a goal
You may add a goal using the command /autolec add which has the following syntax:
/autolec add [enchant]? (([min_level] [max_level])|min|max|any) (([min_price] [max_price])|min|max|any)
Here's an example of adding mending at lowest price:
/autolec add minecraft:mending max min
Here's an example of adding mending at any price:
/autolec add minecraft:mending max any
Here's an example to add Sharpness V at any price:
/autolec add minecraft:sharpness 5 5 any
Here's an example to add Unbreaking of any level at the price of between 10-32 emeralds:
/autolec add minecraft:unbreaking any 10 32
Here's an example to add ALL enchantments at max level and minimum price.
/autolec add max min
List goals
You may want to know which goals you have already added.
You may do this using the /autolec list command.
Prepare a suitable cycling area
Here's an example of a suitable cycling area:
Prepare lecterns and axe(s)
For faster cycling speed, prepare many lecterns and put them in your offhand while putting the axe in your main hand.

- ENCHANT - this will attempt to trade the enchant book. If it can't it will fail and won't trade.
- OFF - this means it won't automatically trade for you.
