Wandering Collector

by Siphalor

Wandering Collector stores dropped items and returns them later through Wandering Traders, so lost gear can come back in a trade.

FabricServer-side onlyApache License 2.0Open source1.16.4 – 1.20.4

What it does

When a dropped item despawns or is destroyed, the stacks are added to an internal list. Each stored stack has a chance to appear as an offer the next time the player trades with a Wandering Trader. The mod is server-side only, so the server needs it and players join without installing anything. It is published for Fabric alone, across 17 release versions 1.16.4 – 1.20.4, and the code is under the Apache License 2.0, making it open source.

Key features

  1. Stored dropped items

    Items that despawn or are destroyed after a player drops them are kept in a list instead of being lost.

  2. Trade offers from the list

    Stored stacks have a chance to show up as offers when the player trades with a Wandering Trader.

  3. One-time recovery

    Each stored item can be traded back only once, so the mechanic does not duplicate items.

What the author says

This Minecraft mod that takes the Wandering Trader concept from one of SimplySarc's suggestion videos and implements it. Whenever a player dropped item despawns/gets destroyed, the stacks get internally added to a list and have a chance to show up next time when trading with a Wandering Trader.
