Wandering Trader Fix
by ProHacker888
Wandering Trader Fix changes the Wandering Trader so that its trades are worth seeking out, replacing the usual two buckets with curated biome-themed trade sets.
What it does
The trader's stock is rebuilt around biome-themed trade pools. Each time a trader spawns, the mod pulls trades from three different biomes, so one encounter can offer sweet berries, spruce logs and leather from the taiga, coral, kelp and tropical fish from the ocean, quartz, blaze powder and soul lanterns from the Nether, or sculk, echo shards and amethyst from the deep dark. The trader carries 12 trades in total, and each one is meant to be useful rather than filler.
Trades cost 50% less than the same purchases from a normal villager, which the mod presents as a reason to seek out the trader. A custom spawn system places the trader exactly where the server owner configures it, instead of at random. The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing it. It is published for Fabric alone, for 1.21.11 and 26.1 – 26.1.2, and the code is open source under the MIT License. Fabric API is not listed as a requirement.

Use cases

How it compares
Better Wandering Traders is a Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt mod for 1.21.5 – 26.3 that is not open source, and it is needed on the server, with the client optional. Summon Wandering Trader is a Fabric mod for 26.1 – 26.1.2 that needs both a client and a server, under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. Wandering Trader Fix differs from both in running on the server alone and being open source under the MIT License.
