How to Unlock Restricted Trades by Season and Quest Stage

Troubleshooting Missing Shops and Trades

If a custom shop will not open, or if specific deals are missing from a trader's list, the modpack creator has likely locked them behind progression milestones or seasonal requirements. Market Logic JSON Mod integrates directly with progression and weather mods to gate content.

Unlocking Stage-Gated Shops (KubeJS)

When used alongside KubeJS, pack creators can apply stage restrictions to either individual trade deals or entire shop menus.

1. Check your quest book, advancement screen, or modpack guide to see what milestone unlocks the trader.

2. Complete the required quest or task to earn the necessary KubeJS stage.

3. Return to the trader or shop block and right-click it again; the previously hidden shop or trade deal will now be available.

Trading During the Correct Season (Serene Seasons)

If your modpack includes Serene Seasons, certain shops and trade deals will only appear during specific times of the year.

1. Check the current active season in your world using your season calendar or HUD.

2.

3. Re-open the shop menu once the season changes to access the restricted deals.
