wandering traders trade for biome explorer maps!!!
this is a server-side mod which allows wandering traders to trade for maps that lead you to various overworld biomes.
WARNING: at the moment there is a MASSIVE lag spike upon opening the wandering trader's inventory as the biomes are located. you have been warned.
each biome map costs three emeralds and a compass. they can lead to any biome in the overworld—mountains, oceans, cave biomes—anything. its compatibility with worldgen datapacks and mods is unknown, but it should be compatible.
hahaand no the wandering trader does not look like that in game
