Mode Target Effect Profession Clear Any employed villager Resets villager to unemployed Workblock Tracker Any villager Highlights linked or potential workblock Villager Tracker Workstation blocks Highlights villager using it AI Refresh Unemployed villagers Forces job search behavior Upgrade Any employed villager Increase villager's profession level Trade Select Any employed villager Freely select available trades

1. Profession Clear

• Removes profession from any villager
• Works even on leveled/traded villagers
• Resets their trade progression completely

2. Workblock(JobSite) Tracker

• Visually highlights the villager's linked workstation in red
• When used on an unemployed villager, highlights the villager's current potential workstation in green (not shown in the image)
• Effective range: 64 blocks

3. Villager Tracker

• Applies glowing effect to villager using the targeted workstation

4. Villager AI Refresh

• Forces unemployed villagers to stop current activities
• Makes them (try to) immediately search for nearest valid workstation

5. Villager Instant Upgrade

• Increases villager's profession level immediately
• Consumes 1 Emerald Block or 9 Emerald by default. Block will be consumed first.
• Items and counts costs can be modified in serverconfig/tradetweaks-server.toml freely. it's convenient for some modpacks, to modify it to other mods' or custom items.

6. Trade Selection

This sounds rule-breaking, but I believe that repeatedly refreshing villager trades to get desired offers is a complete waste of the player's time – requiring no real cost except hours of grinding.

Therefore, I don't consider this feature to break Minecraft's balance or gameplay integrity. As players, we should value our limited playtime and spend it on actually fun experiences.

• Allows players to manually select available trades from villager's potential offer pool
• Any trade with the same profession and profession level required, will be considered as an available trade.
• Allow duplicated trades
• Compatible with multiplayers
• A Nether Star is required to upgrade your wand to use this mode.
• Specially for librarian, if you select a trade of enchanted book, you will be allowed to choose all the max-level enchantments, with a higher chance of lower trade prices. This feature can be disabled in the server config.

Consumable Items

Adds several consumable utility items.

Book of Enlightenment

Turns a nitwit villager into an unemployed villager.

Reversion Bottle

Immediately turns a villager into a zombie villager.

Restoration Bottle

Immediately cures a zombie villager back into a villager, equivalent to curing it manually with the vanilla method.

Totem of Village Hero

Grants 5:00 of Hero of the Village. If the player already has Hero of the Village, increases the effect level by 1 (up to level 5) and adds 5:00 duration. After winning a raid, the player receives a number of this item based on the raid level.

Restock Writ

Forces a villager to restock immediately. Using it multiple times on the same villager on the same day increases the cost per use.

Trade Broadcast System

Displays nearby villagers' trade lists (with item icons) in chat, with click-to-highlight functionality. Won't repeat broadcasts for unchanged trades.
