Wandering traders selling car insurance

by Codx

Wandering traders selling car insurance is a Cursed mod in which a wandering trader spawns right behind the player, whispering about a car's extended warranty.

FabricForgeNeoForgeClient and serverMIT License1.20.1 – 26.2

What it does

Once the trader spawns, the player hears a pitch that plays only while the trader himself moves. He keeps the usual villager mumbling, and he calls out once, remembering that across reloads. Waiting about fifteen seconds after the spawn leaves the player with nowhere safe to go, since the trader turns up a couple of blocks behind and faces the player.

Apart from the spawn and the whispers, the trader is completely vanilla: the same trades, the same llamas and the same despawn timer. The mod ships its own audio and depends on CodxLib, which is required on both sides. Files exist for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 22 release versions, 1.20.1 – 26.2, under the MIT License. The mod is not open source.

Key features

  1. Behind-the-player spawn

    A wandering trader appears directly behind the player instead of wandering off somewhere among the trees.

  2. Whispered sales pitch

    Whispers about a car's extended warranty play while the trader is nearby, with audio that ships with the mod.

  3. Vanilla trader behavior

    Trades, llamas and the despawn timer stay as they are in vanilla, so only the spawn and the audio change.

What the author says

You know the call. Now it finds you in Minecraft. When a wandering trader spawns, he no longer wanders in from somewhere off in the trees — he appears directly behind you, turns to face you, and whispers, just to you, about your car's extended warranty.
