An autocrafter for villager trading. Put a villager on the block and it gets pulled in. Click a trade, feed payment items with a hopper, and every redstone pulse trades once. The result lands in the chest in front.

How it works
Six steps from the block to a working trading machine.
Place it
Like a dispenser, the output faces you. Put a chest or barrel there.
Villager on top
An adult villager with a profession gets pulled in, nitwits and unemployed ones don't. His face shows up on the front.
Click a trade
Right-click opens the window. Clicking a trade locks it: green frame and padlock. Click again to unlock.
Feed payment
With a hopper from any side or by hand into the 3×3 grid. With a trade locked, the block only accepts that trade's payment.
Redstone pulse
Like the Crafter: every rising edge trades exactly once after 4 ticks. A button or a clock does it.
Collect
The result goes into the container in front of the output. If there is none, it gets shot out like from a dispenser.
Ore block bonus
A block directly below the AutoTrader makes every trade cheaper, like curing a zombie villager. The discount applies to the base price of the first payment item. Nothing gets cheaper than 1.
If the player who locks the trade has a better reputation with the villager (because they cured it), their discount counts. Copper blocks count at every stage, oxidized or waxed.
Building a trading machine
- Hopper on the side
The villager stands on top, so the hopper feeds from a side or the back. Hoppers can't pull anything back out. - Redstone from anywhere
Button, lever pulse or a redstone clock on any side. Exactly one trade per pulse. - Block below
Copper up to netherite, see ore block bonus.
Details
No trade limit
Trades never sell out and don't get pricier from demand.
Villager levels up
Each trade gives XP like normal trading. On level-up, new trades join the list.
Release the villager
The button puts him on top of the AutoTrader. He is only pulled in again after he has left the block once.
Breaking the block
The villager is released and the inventory drops. Mine it with a pickaxe, like a dispenser.
Only matching items
With a trade locked, the 3×3 grid only takes its payment items, so a hopper can't clog the block.
Saved
Villager, locked trade and inventory are kept when you leave the world.
