Nice Wandering Trader Announcements
by NiceRon
Nice Wandering Trader Announcements sends a chat message to nearby players when a Wandering Trader spawns.
What it does
When a Wandering Trader appears, the mod posts a message to players within reach of the spawn, so they know a trader has arrived. The mod is a server mod: players join without installing it, and only the server needs it. On a PaperMC server or a fork such as Purpur, the setting allow-non-player-entities-on-scoreboards must be enabled in the Paper configuration, and the config files must be set up for everything to work properly. The mod is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later and is open source. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, for 1.21.3 – 1.21.5, with 1.2 as the latest build for 1.21.5.

What the author says
But if you are playing on a PaperMC Server (or a PaperMC Fork like Purpur) make sure to set allow-non-player-entities-on-scoreboards in your paper config files to true in order for everything to work properly.
