How to Reload Trade Files In-Game Without Restarting

Adjusting a custom economy often requires a lot of trial and error. Fortunately, the Custom Villager Trades mod allows you update your text files and test them immediately without having to shut down and restart your game.

Making Your Adjustments

First, open your mod trade text files and make any desired changes to costs, rewards, profession levels, maximum uses, XP gains, or price demands. Ensure your formatting is correct before saving the file.

Reloading and Checking for Errors

Once saved, use the in-game command or interface option provided by the mod to reload the trade files instantly. The game will apply your new rules to villagers and wandering traders on the fly.

If a trade fails to update or behaves unexpectedly, check the game log. The mod is designed to show clear error messages whenever a trade file has a typo, helping you quickly locate and fix formatting mistakes.
