Turn your librarian villagers into a real enchanted book market — teach them trades with books you find

Enchanted Book Trader
Ever found an enchanted book you didn't need, with no good way to use it? This mod turns that book into currency — and turns your local librarian into an actual book dealer.
How it works
Teach a trade: Right-click a librarian villager while holding an enchanted book. The villager consumes the book and adds a real trade to its offer list — you (or anyone) can buy that exact book back from it later for emeralds.
Reroll for a better price: Got a duplicate of an enchantment type the villager already knows? Hand it over, and instead of teaching a new trade, it rerolls the existing one — new random price, the offered book updates to match the level you just gave it, and its stock fully restocks. It's a gamble each time.
Only librarians deal in books. Other professions (and unemployed villagers) will ignore the book entirely — it stays safely in your hand.
Details
- A single villager can learn up to 5 different enchantment types, each as its own trade slot
- Books with multiple enchantments (e.g. from custom NBT) aren't accepted, to keep pricing predictable
- Fully server-side gameplay logic — no client-only rendering, works in singleplayer or on a dedicated server
Compatibility
Doesn't touch vanilla villager profession trades — every trade this mod creates is internally tagged so it only ever modifies its own entries, even on a librarian that already offers books natively.
