Better Wandering Trader Trades (BWTT)
Better Wandering Trader Trades changes the offers a wandering trader makes, so a chance at stronger deals appears alongside the vanilla pool.
What it does
Each visit gives a chance that several of these trades replace the usual selection, so a trader can offer more useful goods than the default pool does.
The mod can either override the vanilla wandering trader trades completely or add its entries to the existing vanilla trade pool. Both choices are set in the mod's configuration, letting a server keep the default experience or expand it. It runs on NeoForge only, for game version 1.21.1, and is published as a single NeoForge file, version 1.1.0, in the alpha channel. Because the environment is client and server, the server and every player need the mod installed.
Key features
Chance-based better offers
Each wandering trader visit can present several better trades instead of the standard list, based on a configurable chance.
Expanded item selection
Trades cover arrows, enchanting access, spawn eggs, Nether Scrap, a Totem Undying, Wolf Armor, Ender Pearls and a Diamond Sword.
Override or extend vanilla trades
The vanilla trade pool can be replaced entirely or supplemented with the mod's entries, depending on the setting chosen.
Config-driven trade pool
The entries that appear in the pool are set through the mod's configuration, so server owners can adjust what traders offer.
