What Wares Does
Wares changes how you trade in Minecraft. Instead of simple bartering, you handle logistics. You get contracts to deliver goods. Most players move items from one place to another. Then you count your profits. It's villager trading with extra steps.
The core loop is straightforward. You accept a delivery agreement. Folks who try this gather the required items. Folks who try this deliver them to the destination. The mod handles the rest. This adds a layer of planning to your gameplay. You've to think about what you're moving and where it needs to go.
How It Works
The mod uses a specific item called a Delivery Table. This is a workstation. It's tied to a new villager profession called the Packager. These villagers help you with the heavy lifting. They package your goods and deliver them for you. But they aren't robots. They need work-life balance. Most won't work all day. You've to manage their schedule.
Packagers get better at their job over time. They earn experience as they deliver packages. Each level up increases the number of packages they can handle at once. If you prefer to do it yourself, you can deliver packages manually. And it takes longer. You can only carry one at a time. But it gives you full control.
