Quick Villager Cycle Trades [1.26.X]+ Extra
Go to files
Refresh villager professions instantly using a deliberate sneak+use shears interaction on workstations — fully vanilla, multiplayer-compatible, and time-saving for exact trades like librarian mending.
Managing villager trades shouldn’t require constantly breaking and replacing workstations.
Quick Villager Trade Cycle lets you refresh villager professions instantly using a simple, intentional interaction — while keeping everything fully vanilla.
🛠 How It Works
To avoid accidental use, the system requires a deliberate action:
- Sneak (Crouch)
- Right-click / Use
- Hold Shears
- Use them on a villager workstation
- The workstation will quickly reset in place, allowing the villager to refresh their trades.
- Vanilla sounds are played to keep the interaction immersive and natural.
- No menus.
- No commands.
- No UI changes.
🏘 Supported Workstations
Compatible with all standard villager job blocks, including:
- Lectern
- Smithing Table
- Blast Furnace
- Composter
- Fletching Table
- Loom
- Cartography Table
- Stonecutter
- Grindstone
- Barrel
- Smoker
- Brewing Stand
⚖️ Vanilla-Friendly Design
This addon does not modify trade pools or progression.
Villagers still follow normal mechanics, work hours, and locking rules.
It simply removes the repetitive block-breaking step and replaces it with a cleaner, more controlled method.
The sneak requirement ensures:
- No misclicks
- No accidental resets
- Full control in trading halls
✨ Features
- Sneak + right-click activation
- Shears-based interaction
- Instant workstation reset
- Vanilla sound feedback
- Multiplayer compatible
- Lightweight behavior pack
🔴 Simple & short showcase
Simple. Efficient. Vanilla.
Refresh villager trades without rebuilding your workstation every time.
Villager Respawner Extension+
- If you like more features this might be interesting for you.
Introducing a new extension
Have you ever found a really good trade — for example a Sharpness V for a low price — and after you get it the village becomes effectively locked because you cannot change a villager's job after trading with them? This extension is for you. You can easily respawn any villager into a jobless villager so they can change their job.
Features
- Fully vanilla support (no custom items, no custom menus)
- Very simple logic with a warning-confirmation-cancel system
- Can restore/respawn any villager, including babies and even nitwits, which makes it a really useful feature
- Fully multiplayer support — each villager has its own 5-second cooldown and its own respawn system
- Full vanilla sounds
- Fully compatible with the Quick Villager Trade Cycle addon
How to activate the extension
Put the extension together with the addon in the behavior pack slot to activate.
How to use
- Hold shears in hand
- Sneak
- Right click on any villager that you would like to respawn
- At first it will send the player a warning text that says: "Are you sure you want to reset this villager? This will erase ALL trades and progress! Sneak+click again to confirm, or wait 5 seconds to cancel."
- Sneak+click again on the same villager to respawn them, or wait 5 seconds to cancel the respawn
