Librarian Trade Finder
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Librarian Trade Finder
A fabric mod that helps you find the enchantments you need from a Librarian Villager.
Installation
Download the jar from modrinth.
If you are playing on a server using an old minecraft version consider using ViaFabric to use the latest client version.
Or clone the repository and run ./gradlew build.
The compiled jar should be under build/libs/.
Usage
- Encase the villager in a 1x1 area.
- Place down a Lectern in front of the villager.
- (Optional) Set Keybindings (Open Config Screen [Default:
C], Start/Stop Search [Default:O], Select Lectern [Default:I]) - Look at the Lectern and either press keybinding to Select (Default:
I) or execute/tradefinder select. - Put enough lecterns in your off-hand and an axe in your main-hand. The faster the axe can break the lectern, the faster the mod will be able to search.

C) or execute/tradefinder config. - On the left side, select the enchantments you want to search for, by simply clicking on them. Then enter the maximum price and level you want to search for.
- Configure the other settings on the right to your liking.
- Either press the Button
Start Search, exit the config screen and press the keybinding to start the search (Default:O) or execute/tradefinder start. - If you want to stop the search before you found the enchantment, execute
/tradefinder stopor press the keybinding (Default:O).

Common Issues
- The error: "You are not looking at a lectern."
- Make sure you are looking at the lectern and not the villager.
- The lectern doesn't get broken.
- Some anti-cheats can prevent breaking the lectern or interacting with the villager if you are not looking at it.
- My Lecterns are disappearing.
- Sometimes the lecterns dropped, can get behind the lectern or somewhere else. Stop the mod, break the lectern, and try to find all the items. Then start the search again.
