Thom's Wandering Traders

by ThomasMTT

Thom's Wandering Traders adds new wandering trader types, each with its own trades, and a command that helps players manage lost loot.

FabricForgeNeoForgeClient and serverGNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 onlyOpen source1.19.4 – 1.20.6

What it does

Alongside the vanilla wandering trader, the mod introduces seven further traders: End, Forest, Animal, Book, Decoration, Potion and Exclusive. Each one sells its own set of trades, so a visit to a wandering trader can offer different goods from one trader to the next.

A loot recovery mechanic lets players get back items that were lost, destroyed or despawned. The lostloot command gives players a way to manage those recovered items. Cloth Config API and Fabric API are required, so both must be installed alongside the mod.

The server and every player need the mod installed. Thom's Wandering Traders is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.19.4 and 1.20.6, with 1.20.1 also in the list of game versions with files.
