Wandering Trader May Leave

by Serilum

Wandering Trader May Leave adds a button to the trade screen that makes a wandering trader disappear without a fight, a change players can use when a trader stays too long.

What it does

A small button in the top-left corner of the trade screen sends the trader away. When it is clicked, the trader vanishes in a cloud of particles, so a player who wants no trade can leave the trader out of the world without violence. Trader llamas are handled too: by default they leave with the trader, but only when they were leashed to it.

The behaviour is set in the config. The option despawnTraderLlamasToo, true by default, decides whether the llamas leave alongside the trader. onlyDespawnLlamasWhenLeashed, also true by default, limits that to llamas held by a lead. showDespawnParticles, true by default, turns the cloud effect on or off. Servers can change all three to suit their players.

The mod needs Collective, which must be installed next to it on every loader. It runs client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, for 16 release versions 1.20.1 – 26.3, and the code is under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. The latest file is 26.3.0-1.3-fabric+forge+neo for 26.3, dated 2026-10-01.

Key features

  1. Despawn button

    A button on the trade screen removes the trader from the world when clicked, without any combat.

  2. Particle effect

    Clicking the button shows a puff of smoke around the trader as it is removed, and the effect can be turned off in the config.

  3. Llama handling

    Trader llamas can leave with the trader, and by default only those that were leashed to it.

  4. Config options

    Three settings control the llamas and the particles, with defaults that work without changes.

Named Traders runs only on the server, is open source under the MIT License and is published for 1.19 – 26.3. Better Wandering Traders is needed on the server, with the client optional, under the MIT License, and is not open source, for 1.21.5 – 26.3. Nice Wandering Trader Announcements also is needed on the server, with the client optional, is open source under GPL 3.0 or later, and covers 1.21.3 – 1.21.5 only.

Does the server need the mod, or can players join without it?

Wandering Trader May Leave adds a simple way to ask the wandering trader to exit the map without resorting to violence. It adds a small button in the top left of the trade screen.
