Better Piglin Trades 1.2.0

First CurseForge and Modrinth release for Minecraft 1.20.1, on Forge.

Data-driven piglin bartering: define which items piglins accept and what they give back, using datapack JSON. Ships with tiered gold nugget, gold ingot and gold block trades.

Features

• Add, override or disable barter items with datapack JSON, no code required
• priority field to override trades from other packs
• enabled field to take an item out of bartering entirely
• JEI integration showing every possible reward sorted by chance, with the per-roll chance on each tooltip. Outputs are synced from server to client, so it works in singleplayer and on servers

Fixed since the 1.20.1 maven build

• The mod's own default trades never loaded. The jar had no pack.mcmeta, so Forge rejected its built-in datapack and none of the gold nugget, ingot or block trades registered
• A cached build could ship without the mixin refmap. The refmap is produced as a side effect of compilation and was not a declared task output, so a Gradle build-cache hit silently dropped it, leaving every mixin injection unable to resolve at runtime
• Clients without JEI were disconnected on login
• JEI showed no recipes when connected to a dedicated server
• Trade data was not re-sent after /reload
• Right-clicking a piglin with a custom trade item gave no arm swing and could trigger the item's own right-click action
• Custom trade items were consumed in creative mode
• Barter rewards dropped at the piglin's feet instead of being thrown toward the player
• Piglin repellents could be picked up as trade items

Notes

• Trade overrides should live in your own namespace and use a higher priority. Writing to data/betterpiglintrades/piglin_trades/<name>.json is unreliable, since only one pack can win a given file path
• Loot tables go in data/<namespace>/loot_tables/ on 1.20.1

Better Piglin Trades 1.2.0

A correctness release for Minecraft 1.21.1. If you are on 1.0.0, this is a recommended update.

Fixed

• Clients without JEI were disconnected on login. The trade sync handler reached into the JEI integration unconditionally, so any client without JEI installed hit a missing class while handling the join packet. This is the main reason to update
• JEI showed no piglin bartering recipes when connected to a dedicated server. Recipes are now built from the synced output data instead of the server-side trade definitions
• Trade data was not re-sent to connected players after /reload, leaving JEI showing stale rewards
• Right-clicking a piglin with a custom trade item produced no arm swing, and could trigger the item's own right-click action, because the client was not told the piglin would accept it
• Custom trade items were consumed in creative mode
• Barter rewards dropped at the piglin's feet instead of being thrown toward the player
• Piglin repellents could be picked up as trade items
• Removed an injection into a piglin method that has no callers left in modern Minecraft

Added

• enabled field on trade definitions. Set it to false to take an item out of bartering entirely, rather than only removing its rewards
• JEI now shows the chance of each barter output on its tooltip, sorted most likely first

Notes

• Trade overrides should live in your own namespace and use a higher priority. Writing to data/betterpiglintrades/piglin_trades/<name>.json is unreliable, since only one pack can win a given file path

Better Piglin Trades 1.2.0

Updated for Minecraft 26.1.2.

Changes

• Updated to Minecraft 26.1.2 and NeoForge 26.1.2.x
• JEI now resolves against maven artifacts rather than a pinned CurseForge file

Added

• enabled field on trade definitions. Set it to false to take an item out of bartering entirely, rather than only removing its rewards

Fixed

• JEI showed no piglin bartering recipes when connected to a dedicated server. Recipes are now built from the synced output data instead of the server-side trade definitions
• Trade data was not re-sent to connected players after /reload, leaving JEI showing stale rewards
• Right-clicking a piglin with a custom trade item produced no arm swing, and could trigger the item's own right-click action, because the client was not told the piglin would accept it
• Custom trade items were consumed in creative mode
• Barter rewards dropped at the piglin's feet instead of being thrown toward the player
• Piglin repellents could be picked up as trade items
• Drop chances double-counted an item appearing in more than one loot table entry, and normalised weights across all pools rather than per pool
• The bundled example datapack used the pre-1.21.2 loot_tables folder name, so it never loaded
• Removed an injection into a piglin method that has no callers left in modern Minecraft
