Better Wandering Trader
by HyperPigeon
Better Wandering Trader changes the Wandering Trader's stock so that his trades are more useful and interesting to players.
What it does
Vanilla Wandering Trader sells mostly low-value goods and is often a disappointment. This Fabric mod reworks his trades so he offers a more respectable selection. Every visit, the trader draws five entries at random from a hand-picked pool running from Common to Rare goods, and a single Super Rare entry is added to the offers too. The mod runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything, and it is built for 1.19 only.
