Named Traders

by Roundaround

Named Traders stops wandering traders and their llamas from despawning once they are given a name tag, so a named trader stays in the world.

What it does

Left alone, a wandering trader and its llamas disappear once their timer runs out, as in vanilla. Naming them with a name tag keeps them in place, so a player can return to the same trader later. Taming a llama and keeping a name tag on it has no effect until the llama is named. The mod runs on the server side only, so players join without installing anything, and Fabric API is required. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.19 – 26.3, and the code is licensed under the MIT License as open source.

Key features

  1. Named traders persist

    A wandering trader given a name tag is kept from despawning and remains available for trades.

  2. Named llamas persist

    The llamas that accompany a wandering trader stay in the world once they carry a name tag.

  3. Tamed llama naming

    Naming a tamed llama with a name tag is what keeps it around, which covers llamas that a player has already tamed.

What the author says

Naming wandering traders or their llamas prevents them from despawning. It's as simple as that! In vanilla Minecraft, wandering traders and their llamas will despawn. Taming the llamas can keep them around, but name tags don't actually do anything, until now! Simply name that trader and their llamas to give yourself…
