Features
Better Piglin Trades transforms piglin bartering into a fully data-driven system that modpack makers can customize without writing any code.
Tiered Trading System
The mod includes three default trade tiers:
Trade Item Reward Quality Gold Nugget Basic rewards - iron nuggets, soul sand, fire charges Gold Ingot Standard rewards - ender pearls, potions, obsidian (vanilla-like) Gold Block Premium rewards - netherite scrap, diamonds, enchanted booksFully Customizable
Create your own trades by adding JSON files to your datapack:
Trade Definition (data/mypack/piglin_trades/emerald.json):
{ "item": "minecraft:emerald", "loot_table": "mypack:gameplay/piglin_bartering/emerald", "priority": 0 }Then create a matching loot table with your desired rewards!
JEI Integration
When JEI is installed, press "U" on any trade item to see all possible barter rewards. The display shows:
- The input item required
- All possible output items with average quantities
For Modpack Makers
- Add new trades: Create trade definitions for any item
- Override existing trades: Use the priority field (higher wins)
- Remove trades: Point to an empty loot table
- Balance rewards: Full control over loot table weights and quantities
Requirements
- Minecraft 1.21.1
- NeoForge 21.1+
Optional
- JEI (Just Enough Items) - For viewing possible barter outputs
