How do I install Wandering Settlers?

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.

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.

A small add-on for the mod VillagerConfig by DrexHD.

Purpose

Due to the latest villager trade rebalance, there is a strong incentive in the game now to establish new villages in locations they don't naturally spawn. However, there is no flexible, practical, and reliable way to transport villagers yet, especially over large distances on land.

This makes it feasible to create new villages without transporting villagers long distances.

In addition, just for regular gameplay, it is nice to have the freedom to establish base anywhere without feeling restricted by the need to stay close to a village.

Details

Adds a new trade to the 1.20.2 Wandering Trader trades:

Sells 0-2 villager eggs for 64 emeralds each
- If it rolls 0, it instead offers a random suspicious stew for 1 emerald.

Thematically, it is a lightweight representation of encouraging unseen members of the traders' caravan to settle with you.

Requirements

It requires VillagerConfig and won't do anything without that installed.

Limitations

Due to how the data-driven trades work, this datapack must replace all the Wandering Trader's trades. The other Wandering Trader's trades are set to those in the latest version of Minecraft at the time of posting (1.20.2). They are shown here on the wiki, in the section marked "After Villager Trade Rebalance".

That means these changes are usually incompatible with any other datapack/mod that tries to also change Wandering Trader trades.
