Wandering Merchants

by CodingLegend0100 · on Modrinth

A data pack that gives wandering traders professions, many new trades, and much more!. Free Minecraft Java datapack for 1.20, 1.20.1, 1.20.2.

Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

Mod loader

Minecraft version

⬇ Download for 1.20–1.20.4 · Data pack⬇ Download for 1.20–1.20.4 · Fabric⬇ Download for 1.20–1.20.4 · Forge⬇ Download for 1.20–1.20.4 · Quilt
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Wandering Merchants replaces the vanilla wandering trader with 4 new merchant types: farming, fishing, mining, and treasure. Each merchant has a different set of possible trades and has an equal chance of spawning.

Tutorial: Adding your own merchant

This section refers to features that are coming soon

Although I tried my best to explain how modding works, it may still be confusing for some of you. This tutorial will take you though the step-by-step process of adding your own custom merchant.

For this tutorial, you must have basic knowledge on how do create a datapack. If you do not know how to create a datapack, you can find plenty online. TODO: find a good tutorial and link it here

First you want to create a new datapack with a new function. I'll call mine new_merchant.mcfunction and put it in the namespace mypack.

Inside the new_merchant.mcfunction we need to initialize the trader and set its trades:

Creating the villager function

#This command does the initial setup for the merchant, assigning a name, weight, and setting up the tradetable
data modify storage clgd.trader:data NewMerchant append value {Weight:1,Name:"Special Merchant",TradeTable:[]}
#         I recommend changing this value ^^^ to be something unique. If multiple packs use the same value, then there will be issues with one pack overwriting the other. 


#This adds the first set of trade options to the tradetable
data modify storage clgd.trader:data NewMerchant.TradeTable append value []

#This adds a trade option to the first set of trades
data modify storage clgd.trader:data NewMerchant.TradeTable[-1] append value {TradeData:{buy:{id:"minecraft:coal",Count:48},sell:{id:"minecraft:diamond",Count:1}}}

#The 'data modify storage clgd.trader:data NewMerchant.TradeTable[-1]' means we are modifying the last set of trade options. Since there is only 1 right now, that means we are modifying the first one.

#This adds the second set of trade options to the tradetable
data modify storage clgd.trader:data NewMerchant.TradeTable append value []

#This adds a trade option to the second set of trades
data modify storage clgd.trader:data NewMerchant.TradeTable[-1] append value {TradeData:{buy:{id:"minecraft:diamond",Count:1},sell:{id:"minecraft:emerald",Count:2}}}

#Add a second trade option to the second set of trades
data modify storage clgd.trader:data NewMerchant.TradeTable[-1] append value {TradeData:{buy:{id:"minecraft:coal_block",Count:5},sell:{id:"minecraft:emerald",Count:2}}}


#Now that there are 2 trades, the 'data modify storage clgd.trader:data NewMerchant.TradeTable[-1]' refers to the second set of trades

This function will create the data for a new merchant with 2 trades. The first trade will always be 48 Coal -> 1 Diamond and the second trade will either be 1 Diamond -> 2 Emeralds or 5 Coal Blocks -> 1 Emerald

Running the function

Now that we've written the function to create the villager, we want to make sure that the function gets run to initialize the trades. This can be done by creating a new namespace called clgd.trader then inside that namespace create a new folder called tags, another subfolder called functions , then a file called set_default_trades.json. You'll also need to create another file called update_trades.json

So your folder structure should look like: clgd.trader -> tags -> functions -> set_default_trades.json

The set_default_trades.json should look something like this

{
  "values": [
    "mypack:new_merchant"
  ]
}
