How to Export Current Trades as a Template

When you want to understand the structure of the text files used by the Custom Villager Trades mod, exporting your current trades is the best starting point. This process creates a clean baseline template based on the game's existing trade offers, allowing you to view and adjust them without writing code or data packs.

Exporting the Template

To begin, open your game and access the specific configuration tools provided by the mod. Look for the option designed to export current trades. Once triggered, the mod will generate text files containing the active trade offers for every villager profession and the wandering trader.

Locating and Using Your Exported Files

After the export finishes, navigate to your game directory to find the newly created text files. You can open these files using any standard text editor. They serve as a reliable template showing how costs, rewards, profession levels, maximum uses before locking, XP gains, and price demands are structured. From here, you can easily copy the format to build custom shops, adjust item prices, or replace default trade offers completely.
