Process

← Back to Starting Page

This page describes the general process of how LibrGetter works and how to control it.

LibrGetter works in cycles. Each cycle follows these steps:

  1. Obtain the trades offered by the selected librarian villager
  2. Check them against the goals list (more info: Goals)
  3. If a trade matches a goal, finalize the searching process
  4. If no trade matches a goal, refresh the trades and repeat the process

Starting

Before LibrGetter can start working, you have to select a librarian villager and his lectern. If you are playing with the Trade Cycling integration, then selecting the lectern is optional.

The selection process can be done in multiple ways, depending on your preferences and the situation. Here are the available options:

Manual Selection

Using keybinds:

  1. Face the villager and press H - this will select the villager
  2. Repeat the same for the lectern, or if you have the Trade Cycling integration, you can skip this step
  3. Start the process by pressing J

or the same with commands:

  1. Face the villager and type /librget - this will select the villager
  2. Repeat the same for the lectern, or if you have the Trade Cycling integration, you can skip this step
  3. Start the process by typing /librget start

Note, that the order or selecting the villager and the lectern doesn’t matter, but both of them have to be selected before starting the process (unless Trade Cycling is used). If you start the process without selecting both of them, LibrGetter will display an error message in the chat.

Automatic Selection

When using the automatic selection, you won’t have to select the villager and the lectern manually. Instead, LibrGetter will automatically find the closest villager and lectern to you and use them for the process. Before starting, ensure that you have exactly one librarian villager and one lectern that are closest to you, so that automatic selection picks the correct targets.

To automatically select the villager and the lectern, and then start the process, press J without having anything selecting yet. Alternatively you can use the command /librget auto to achieve the same result.

Stopping

The process can be stopped with the same keybind J or the command /librget stop.

Attempt Counter

When using /librget start or /librget auto, you will reset the internal attempt counter to 0 as if you are starting a new search. However, you might have just interrupted LibrGetter temporarily to do something else and want to continue the search without resetting the attempt counter. In that case, you can use the command /librget continue to continue the search without resetting the attempt counter.

To achieve the same with keybinds, you can press J again after stopping the process and after getting back to the same work station where you left off and not changing the villager or the lectern selection. This will confirm, that you want to continue the search on the same villager and lectern without resetting the attempt counter. If you have changed the selection, or you are not at the same work station, pressing J will be treated as starting a new search and the attempt counter will be reset to 0.

Start/Stop Keybind

The keybind J is used for many different actions related to starting, stopping and continuing the process. Here’s a summary of what happens when you press J in different situations:
