How to Make Villagers Not Change Trades
To make villagers not change trades, you need to lock in their trades by leveling them up to the Apprentice tier and then completing enough trades with them, or simply by trading with them once, which will keep their trade forever. This process ensures that the villager’s trades remain consistent, allowing you to manipulate villager trades and maintain a stable trading experience.
Understanding Villager Trades
Villager trades can be a bit unpredictable, but understanding how they work is crucial to making the most out of your trading experience. Villager trading is based on a system of supply and demand, where the price of items can fluctuate depending on how often you trade for them.
Locking in Trades
To lock in trades, you need to trade with a villager at least once. This will ensure that their trade remains the same until you reset trades by breaking and replacing their job block. It’s also important to note that villagers can stop trading for various reasons, such as exhausting all their trades or becoming unhappy due to lack of access to a bed or food.
