No Trades
No Trades is a lightweight utility mod designed to fix the progression balance in Minecraft by restricting villager trading.
Villager trading often bypasses the core gameplay loop, allowing players to obtain end-game gear (like Mending books or Diamond armor) too early. This mod gives server admins and modpack creators full control over this mechanic.
Features
- Complete Control: Globally disable trading interactions with Villagers and Wandering Traders.
- Hybrid Logic:
- Server-side: Enforces the rule securely. Hackers or players without the mod cannot bypass the restriction.
- Client-side: Improves UX by preventing the interaction animation (hand swing) and GUI opening entirely.
- Granular Configuration: Don't want to ban trading completely? Use the Whitelist feature to allow specific professions (e.g., allow Butchers but ban Librarians).
- Mod Menu Integration: Easily toggle professions ON/OFF via a user-friendly settings screen. No manual config editing required.
Configuration
You can customize:
- Global Toggle: Turn the mod on/off instantly.
- Wandering Trader: Allow or disallow trades with the Wandering Trader separately.
- Profession Exceptions: A dynamic list of all registered professions (including modded ones). Simply toggle the ones you want to allow.

Compatibility
This mod works seamlessly on:
- Singleplayer: For self-imposed challenges.
- Multiplayer: As a server-side enforcement tool (players do not strictly need the mod installed, but it is recommended for the best experience).
