Wandering Trader Notifier

by inatorcreator

Wandering Trader Notifier warns players when a Wandering Trader is about to spawn nearby, using a timer estimate.

FabricClient-side onlyMIT License1.21 – 1.21.11

What it does

Wandering Trader Notifier detects when a Wandering Trader spawns near the player and plays a sound effect. Because the spawn timing is estimated on the server, the mod can only predict when the first spawn will occur, and the estimate resets after each spawn. The timer scales with the game's tick rate, so it runs faster or slower depending on it. Where the server does not run the mod, the estimate may not be available.

Key features

  1. Spawn detection

    Detects when a Wandering Trader spawns nearby and plays a sound effect when one appears.

  2. Spawn timer HUD

    A default HUD in the top right corner shows the estimated time until the next spawn.

  3. Config menu

    A wtdconfig menu lets the player adjust the notifier, and the L key shuts it down.
