Tax' & Leon's Biome Trader
by Leonxkingx
Tax' & Leon's Biome Trader adds biome-themed villager traders to the world, each selling gear and items tied to the biome it stands in.
What it does
The mod places eight new structures in the world, spread across several biomes, and replaces the older structures in some of them with new buildings. Each structure holds a villager trader whose stock matches its surroundings. Ocean illager traders are included, and a separate End villager trader sits on a ship found high in the sky across the End.
Trades offer armor sets with different abilities, rockets and Elytra at master level, End-related items, and a brand-new Shulker Armor set. Villagers use new textures, and the mod supports loot tables and Lootr. It runs on Forge and NeoForge, and the environment is client and server, so both the server and every player need it.
Files are published for 1.20.1, 1.21.1, 1.21.4 and 1.21.8, and the 3.2.0 build is the latest for both loaders. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
