This mod allows you to change wandering trader spawn frequency. When you first join a world or start a server after adding this mod, a configuration file is created that allows you to edit the wandering trader spawn delay and the wandering trader spawn timer.
Config Options
Wandering Trader Spawn Delay
wandering.trader.spawn.delay defaults to 24000. (20 minutes)
Wandering Trader Spawn Timer
wandering.trader.spawn.timer defaults to 1200 (1 minutes).
How it works
every game tick, the spawn timer decrements. when it reaches 0, it resets to wandering.trader.spawn.timer, and subtracts that value from the spawn delay. it then checks whether spawn delay is 0 or less, and if it is, it attempts a wandering trader spawn and resets back to wandering.trader.spawn.delay.
