Traveler

by testeras

A personal villager companion is the focus of Traveler, which follows its owner, takes commands and trades on a progression the owner controls.

What it does

Each player summons their own Traveler with the Traveler Compass, and only that player controls it. A Traveler can follow its owner, sit at a chosen location, or attack hostile mobs when that ability is switched on. Shift with right click toggles between following and sitting, and shift with left click toggles the attack behavior. Several skins can be picked with a left click.

Trades are handled by a custom progression system. A Traveler levels up, gains new offers and XP over time, and the trade stock restocks independently for each player. Progress is stored in three configuration files inside the config folder, named traveler-level1.json, traveler-level2.json and traveler-level3.json, and each file lists the items that become available as the Traveler advances. Nearly every part, including trades, combat behavior and progression, can be changed in those files.

Traveler is inspired by the Town NPCs of Terraria, especially the Guide, which follows the player and offers trades through a custom interface. It runs on both client and server. An integrated server and a dedicated server both need the mod, and any player who joins such a server must also have it installed. The mod is published for Forge only, with files for 1.19.2, 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, and the latest file is 1.1.0 for 1.21.1. The code is not open source, and the mod is released under All rights reserved.

Key features

  1. Personal companion

    Each player gets an own Traveler that receives commands only from its owner and can be placed anywhere in the world.

  2. Summon with a compass

    The Traveler Compass summons a Traveler, which the owner can then send to follow, sit or attack.

  3. Level-based trades

    Trades become available as a Traveler levels up, with XP and a restock cycle kept separate for every player.

  4. Configurable behavior

    Trades, combat behavior and progression can be adjusted, including the three level files that list the items available at each stage.
