Auto Lectern

The Auto Lectern mod automates the process of cycling librarian villager trades by breaking and placing lecterns to refresh available enchantments.

Getting Started

To add a goal, use the /autolec add command with the following syntax:

/autolec add [enchantment]? (([min_level] [max_level])|min|max|any) (([min_price] [max_price])|min|max|any)

Usage examples:

• Search for Mending at lowest price:
