The CustomName format is for 1.21.5 and later; on older versions write CustomName:'"Tool Shop"'.
What each part does
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
VillagerData | Job, level and biome look. Level 5 stops the job from changing. |
NoAI:1b | Does not move or turn. |
Invulnerable:1b | Cannot be killed by attacks. |
PersistenceRequired:1b | Does not despawn. |
buy | What the player pays. |
buyB | Optional second payment. |
sell | What the player receives. |
maxUses | How many times the trade works. |
rewardExp:0b | No XP from trading. |
Never sell out
A villager without AI does not restock at a workstation, so set maxUses high from the start (9999 is effectively unlimited).
Keep prices fixed
Prices move with demand, reputation and Hero of the Village. Add priceMultiplier:0f and demand:0 to each trade to keep them nearly constant.
Change the look
profession sets the outfit and type the biome style: plains, desert, jungle, savanna, snow, swamp or taiga. Match the shop, for example weaponsmith for weapons or librarian for books.
Bedrock Edition
Bedrock's /summon cannot set trades. Build a scoreboard shop with command blocks (pay, then receive), or change trade tables with a behavior pack. The clear command guide shows a command-block payment.
Common questions
- Older format: 1.20.4 and earlier write
Count:5binstead ofcount:5. - Selling enchanted books: add components inside
sell, or build the command with the villager trade generator. - Zombies attack it: Invulnerable does not stop zombies targeting it; keep the shop indoors and well lit.
