Wandering Trader Defense
Wandering Trader Defense is a Fabric mod that changes how wandering traders are attacked and protected, aimed at a problem its author describes in the game.
What it does
Wandering traders are often murdered by mobs and players, which the author of this mod says is a problem worth fixing. The mod changes that behavior so wandering traders are better protected. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Files are published for Fabric only, for nine game versions 1.20 – 1.21.1, with 0.1.0 for 1.21.1 as the latest file. The code is available as source, but the mod is not open source and is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0 license.
