The Gambling Trader
by Miraak0
The Gambling Trader adds a wager-based trader named Joker, who appears in Dark Forest biomes and offers a chance to double a stake.
What it does
Joker sells a wager item. A player stakes an item on the trade and has a base 50% chance to receive double the stake back. A Luck potion effect raises that chance to 75%. Joker spawns naturally in Dark Forest biomes, and when attacked he transforms into a bat and vanishes. The mod runs on Forge for 1.20.1 and needs both the server and every player, so the environment is client and server.
