Nether Villager Merchant
by Leonxkingx
Nether Villager Merchant adds a Nether villager who spawns in Crimson Forest houses and trades Piglin Brute armor and weapons for gold.
What it does
The merchant is a jobless villager that appears only in houses found in the Crimson Forest biome. A player can call him to any location by setting down his Traderblock Workstation, which fixes the spot where the next Nether Merchant house will be built. He accepts gold as his only currency, so trades depend on what a player brings to him.
The merchant sells armor converted from Piglin Brute gear. Wearing a full set grants the Brute Fury effect, which increases damage dealt. The reworked Piglin Brute Gold Axe is a double-sided weapon that hits harder and faster than the regular version, and it is used like a normal axe.
Installation needs Forge or NeoForge. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Files are published for the 1.20.1 and 26.1.2 ranges, across six release versions 1.20.1 – 26.1.2, under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source. The mod is free to include in modpacks.
