What started as a little side project for my own world, I’m sharing with everyone. In this datapack you can call in The Scavenger—a seasoned wanderer who seemed to know every cut corner's and survives the zombie wasteland by trading guns and ammo for Money. Acquire his beacon (a special armor stand) and he’ll may take a liking on you and will always find his way and popping like a dusty regular at your base.
He keeps a simple rhythm: he hangs around for two days at your base, chit-chatting/trading, disappears on day three to scrounge the ruins, then shows up on day four with whatever he scraped together—sometimes a big haul, sometimes slim pickings. He'll also let you know when he’s around or headed out, so you dont miss him out, and if you ever misplace the instructions, you can pull a fresh Guidebook with a command and get right back to it.

🎮 How It Works
- Once you acquired his beacon, he will immediately spawn with trades.
- He spawn one block up and falls down. In this way, you can incorporate a pressure plate that will trigger something as he lands. (For example, when he spawns, he will step on a pressure plate to light up the lamp, or open his door. be creative!). This adds a little bit of story or lore to your gameplay.
- He will mostly sell guns from TACZ mod, and ammos. Take note that he dont sell ammos that drops from horde. and he only accepts Money from the Apocalypse now mod.
- Be mindful that his trades are pretty expensive, REALLY expensive. To keep it balance in a way.
- He spawns beside his beacon block, in that way, you can design his "Den" or room or whatever you want to call it.
- He doesnt die when you try to shoot him, so it's okay to make him as a target practice. (LOL!)
- Sometimes, when he leaves, he will drop some money, so be sure to check it out. (Hey it's free money!)
