About this project

What does Handy Trader add?

The Problem

You've got a trading hall with 20 villagers. Each one has up to 10 trades. You open the weaponsmith and scroll past six trades you never use to find the one you actually want. Every. Single. Time.

Say you're buying golden carrots from 8 maxed farmers — that's a master-level trade buried at the bottom of the list. Over a typical survival world, that adds up to 1,664 scroll wheel ticks and 20 minutes spent scrolling past bread and beetroot trades you'll never use. Your scroll wheel deserves better.

The Fix

Handy Traders lets you bookmark individual trades per villager. Favorited trades sort to the top of the list so the trades you care about are always right there when you open the UI.

Features

  • Click to favorite — click the top-left corner of any trade row to bookmark it with a gold corner indicator
  • Sort to top — favorited trades automatically move to the top of the list
  • Per-villager memory — each villager remembers its own favorites, saved across sessions
  • Zero dependencies — works standalone, config via JSON file

Optional Extras

Install YACL + Mod Menu for an in-game config screen. Without them, everything still works — just edit config/handytraders.json.

Pure client-side. No gameplay changes. Just stops you from scrolling.
