Better Piglin Trades

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 books

Fully 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

• The input item required
• All possible output items with average quantities

For Modpack Makers

• Remove trades: Point to an empty loot table
• Balance rewards: Full control over loot table weights and quantities
