Datapack

What it does

In MC 26.1, the old Offers.Recipes NBT structure was removed as part of the new data-driven trading system. Price changes now come entirely from the Gossip system (reputation).

This datapack removes only the gossip entries that raise prices, every 3 seconds, on all loaded villagers — using the Gossips[{Type:"..."}] NBT path to target and delete matching entries directly, with no loop or index guessing required.

Gossip type	Cause	Effect on price	Action
minor_negative	Hitting the villager	Increase	Removed
major_negative	Killing a villager nearby	Increase	Removed
minor_positive	Curing a zombie villager	Decrease	Kept
major_positive	Curing, permanent bonus	Decrease	Kept
trading	Frequent trading	Decrease	Kept

Only price increases are blocked. Discounts you've earned are never touched.

Technical notes

• Runs every 60 ticks (3 seconds) via a self-scheduling function
• Uses an #active scoreboard flag: when uninstall removes the scoreboard, the cycle stops on its own
• In 26.1, Offers.Recipes NBT no longer exists on villager entities — the gossip system is the only accessible data that drives price changes

Mod

Prevents villager prices from increasing due to bad reputation. Preserves discounts from curing zombie villagers and Hero of the Village.

How it works

Every 3 seconds, the mod scans all loaded villagers and removes negative gossips (the data that drives reputation-based price increases) while keeping positive ones (curing bonuses, trading discounts).

Removed	Kept
minor_negative	minor_positive
major_negative	major_positive (zombie curing)
villager_killed	trading
golem_killed
