InstaRestock

Villager trades restock the moment a player opens the trading menu — no waiting for daily resets, workstation ticks, or server restarts.

Features

• Instant restock — trades refresh on menu open, vanilla delays removed entirely
• Configurable reload time — set a custom delay with time units (seconds, minutes, hours, days) or keep it instant
• Max trade control — limit how many trade slots are refreshed per restock if needed (set to 2147483647 for unlimited)
• Villager blacklist — exclude specific villagers from auto-restocking
• Price penalty toggle — disable Minecraft's price increase penalty (1.18+)
• Travelling merchant support — optionally enable restocking for wandering traders
• Universal villager support — works on all villagers by default
• Performance friendly — minimal overhead, no background threads
