No Villager Price Increase

What it does

In MC 26.1, the old Offers.Recipes NBT structure was removed as part of the new data-driven trading system. Price changes now come entirely from the Gossip system (reputation).

This datapack removes only the gossip entries that raise prices, every 3 seconds, on all loaded villagers — using the Gossips[{Type:"..."}] NBT path to target and delete matching entries directly, with no loop or index guessing required.

Only price increases are blocked. Discounts you've earned are never touched.

Installation

1. Drop the no-villager-price-increase folder (or the .zip) into:
   saves/<world-name>/datapacks/
2. In-game: /reload
3. You will see a green confirmation message in chat.

Commands

Uninstalling

1. Run /function no_vp:uninstall in-game
2. The cycle stops automatically within 3 seconds
3. Remove the datapack folder and run /reload

Technical notes

• Runs every 60 ticks (3 seconds) via a self-scheduling function
• Uses an #active scoreboard flag: when uninstall removes the scoreboard, the cycle stops on its own
• In 26.1, Offers.Recipes NBT no longer exists on villager entities — the gossip system is the only accessible data that drives price changes
