Spawning [ ]

The wandering trader appears randomly in the Overworld with 2 leashed trader llamas . They typically spawn within a 48-block radius of a player . In Bedrock Edition , they also try to spawn by a claimed bell in a village .

When the world is created (or updated from an older version), a counter is initialized to 24000 ticks (20 real-life minutes, or 1 Minecraft day). Each minute (1200 ticks), if / gamerule doTraderSpawning is set to true ,‌ [ Java Edition only ] the counter is decreased by 1200. When the counter reaches 0 it is reset to 24000 and, if / gamerule doMobSpawning is set to true , an attempt may be made to spawn a wandering trader. The first time there is a 25% chance of making the attempt, which increases to 50% the second time and is 75% thereafter until a trader is spawned or no player is found for the attempt.

When attempting a spawn, a random player is selected. If no player is found, no trader is spawned but the chance for future attempts is reset to 25%. If a player is found, then 90% of the time the spawn attempt immediately fails.

It should be noted, if there is a bell within 48 blocks of the player then the nearest such bell is used as the target location.

After either of the above conditions are met: ten attempts are made to find a valid mob spawning location on the uppermost block of a random X/Z position within -48/+47 of the target location on each axis. If spawning the trader succeeds, an additional ten attempts are made for each of two trader llamas to find a position within -4/+3 of the trader. [ verify ] Wandering traders can still spawn if the passive mob cap is full.

In Bedrock Edition , when using spawn eggs or the / summon command to spawn a wandering trader, llamas always spawn with it. Wandering traders never spawn if / mobevent minecraft:wandering_trader_event is set to false .

Despawning [ ]

A wandering trader despawns after being loaded for 48000 ticks (40 minutes, or 2 full Minecraft days), although ticks spent with the trading UI open are not counted. [ verify ] Naming the wandering trader with a name tag or placing the wandering trader in a boat / minecart does not prevent it from despawning. [1] This also includes wandering traders as passengers of other mobs in Java Edition , where the wandering trader still despawns if summoned on top of another mob.

When a wandering trader is unloaded, either by moving into unloaded chunks or entering another dimension , its despawn timer freezes.

Wandering traders despawn sooner if all the trades are locked.‌ [ Bedrock Edition only ] [ verify ]

Behavior [ ]

The wandering trader has 6 random trades . New trades are not unlocked after trading with it.

After spawning, the wandering trader prefers to wander within 16 blocks of the initial spawning target location, even if that player leaves or the bell is removed, if not otherwise reacting to nearby players or mobs. [ verify ]

The wandering trader can sometimes form a caravan, due to wild llamas that follow the leashed trader llama(s).

Wandering traders drink a potion of invisibility during dusk and as needed to renew the effect during the night. They also drink milk if invisible during the day to remove the invisibility effect.

Wandering traders avoid zombies and their variants, all illager variants, and vexes , staying at least 8 blocks away. Unlike other villagers , a wandering trader killed by zombies does not become a zombie villager . [2]

Wandering traders drink potions of invisibility if hurt by magic attacks or projectiles from hostile mobs (but not players), or when avoiding illagers, vexes, and zombies.‌ [ BE only ]

When attacked by a player , a wandering trader flees from the player as a villager would do. The llamas , however, attack the player by spitting if their master gets hit, except in Peaceful . The llamas stop attacking if the player is killed and respawns, if the llamas are leashed after the wandering trader is killed, or if the player gets far enough away from them for a short period of time.

Despite their similarities to villagers, attacking or killing wandering traders does not anger iron golems . [3]

Unlike most other villager-like mobs, wandering traders do not visually sit down when riding objects such as boats and minecarts . [4]

Trading [ ]

The trading UI of a wandering trader in Java Edition .

The trading system is a gameplay mechanic that allows players to buy items with emeralds , but from a wandering trader this time.

A player can click on the wandering trader to view the items offered for sale, similar to a villager. Different offers are visible in a list, and clicking on one of the offers moves the corresponding items to the slots above the player's inventory . All offers involve emeralds as a currency.

Wandering traders typically sell items generated in the world or otherwise related to nature, such as plants , dyes , and buckets of fish . They can also trade less common items, such as coral blocks , blue ice , or nautilus shells . Overall, trades offered by wandering traders offer a way to obtain biome-specific materials, without having to travel to the specific biomes.

After the player purchases the same item several times, the wandering trader locks the trade, but unlike villagers, never unlocks the trade. The wandering trader can appear again around the player with new trades after a while.

Wandering traders do not have the novice-master trading system like villagers. Instead, the player can buy anything from the wandering trader without the need of unlocking the previous trades.

Wandering traders do not increase or decrease the prices of its items being sold if attacked by the player, or if the player has the Hero of the Village effect.

Unlike villagers , wandering traders only sell items , they do not buy items. Wandering traders do not have an experience bar and do not modify their offers or prices based on changing demand. This (the trade items or prices) can be changed by the player by editing the corresponding NBT data flag through the use of the / data ‌ [ JE only ] command.

Wandering traders are the only renewable source of sand , red sand , coral blocks , and small dripleaves .

The wandering trader cannot work at a job site block and restock, even summoned with a villager profession or other villager data.

• A milk bucket (8.5% chance, increased 1% per level of Looting ) if killed while holding or before finishing drinking.
• A potion of invisibility (8.5% chance, increased 1% per level of Looting ) if killed while holding or before finishing drinking.

A wandering trader is also a source of leads , as it typically spawns with two leashed trader llamas . These leads break and drop (at the location of the llama) if either trader or llama dies or if they are separated.

Wandering traders do not drop any loot when they despawn.

Wandering traders do not reward any experience when killed or when the player successfully trades with the wandering trader.

Java Edition : Wandering traders use the Friendly Creatures sound category for entity-dependent sound events.

• ↑ The first listed sound is 0.35; the second listed sound is 0.325

Bedrock Edition :

• ↑ wandering_trader/drink_potion is 0.7 and random/drink is 0.65

Meet the Wandering Trader

Let us sell you on this Village and Pillage villager!

Imagine you’re out strolling in the Overworld. The sun is shining, the cows are mooing, and the zombies are growling beneath the ground. It’s a beautiful day and everything is as it should be! Then, all of a sudden, you hear a strangely familiar sound - Hrmm!

A mysterious blue-clad villager has appeared out of nowhere! You gasp and drop your controller. You fall to your knees. Your mind explodes with questions: “How did it get here?”, “Why is it trying to trade with me?” and “Minecraft villagers outside of villages? What blasphemy is this?!”

Calm down, friend! Everything is fine! You’ve just encountered Minecraft’s latest and most experienced salesman – the Wandering Trader !

Covered in blue robes and accompanied by two llamas, the mysterious Wandering Trader is just what its name suggests – a travelling salesman, journeying the Overworld in search of customers willing to exchange their shiny emeralds for rare and exotic items.

Steve Enos is a game designer for Minecraft, and one of several developers that have been involved in the Trader’s design. “The idea for the Wandering Trader came from RPG’s,” he explains. “When the heroes are travelling through an incredibly dangerous place, they usually come across some sort of merchant. It’s obvious that the merchant is there so you can get stocked up on potions or healing items before you fight a boss or something.

“But we started to think about the merchant's story. Why was it there? Where is it going? We thought it would be neat if the Wandering Trader could travel from village to village, sometimes encountering the player in the wilderness.”

While trading isn’t exactly a new mechanic in Minecraft, the trader’s mobile behaviour certainly is. They can appear when you least expect it – either out in the overworld or occasionally in villages, appearing at the local gather site. The trader can offer a wide variety of goods, from dyes and flowers to coral blocks or even nautilus shells. Also, since they like to travel, the Wandering Trader has its own way of dealing with hostile mobs.

Don't try to outrun a pillager. Drink a Potion of Invisibility instead!

“My favorite part is how it drinks a Potion of Invisibility when in danger. It’s funny how you can still see it holding the two llamas by the leads!” says Steve.

Designing a villager with such a profound love for moving between villages proved to be a technical challenge for the development team. Initially, they tried to make the Trader just pop into the player’s village. “The solution was to spawn the same particles the Endermen use when they teleport, as if to explain how the trader got from place to place safely,” Steve explains. “Later we decided that we didn’t want the Trader to be so supernatural and we were ok with it just popping in whenever it appeared.”

Another big challenge was the work on the Wandering Trader’s visual design, which Lead Pixel Artist Jasper Boestra designed together with fellow artist and pinball enthusiast Chris Nordgren from the Minecraft: Dungeons team.

An early concept design for the mysterious merchant. Why trade emeralds when you can wear them on your forehead?

"Hrm, hrrrm hrm?" is villager-speak for "Hey, who stole my hoodie?"

"No hats!" said art director Johan Aronson. The rest is history.

“We wanted to make it look mysterious and exotic, so the first iterations were a bit overboard,” Jasper remembers. “I let Chris have a shot at it and we liked the new design more. It looked a little too much like a pirate and not a merchant, so I tried to add a hat to it afterwards. However, our art director, Johan Aronson, wanted us to try giving it a hood instead, to make them more mysterious and hide their villager-ness a bit.“

A hood? I love hoods! Giving the Wandering Trader a hood was likely the best idea since sliced bread (or my idea to store sliced bread in my hood!) The hood isn't the only aspect that makes the Wandering Trader stand out from the rest of the villagers – they also have their own unique voice, which further raises the question of who they really are.

“They had to be designed as a mysterious trader from far away lands, nothing like the villagers you see in the villages around you,” Jasper explains. “With the hood, you might even question if they're actually villagers.”

Ahhh, that’s a good point. I'm not that mysterious, but can I still wear my hood, though?

“Er, sure Per,” says Jasper. Hooray!

Desperate to seek out this Wandering Trader yourself? They’ll be in the upcoming Village & Pillage update! But if you can’t wait for that, you can try the latest Minecraft Java snapshot or the Minecraft beta . Don’t forget to bring emeralds!

Wandering Trader in Minecraft

This Minecraft tutorial explains all about wandering traders with screenshots and step-by-step instructions. A wandering trader is a new type of mob in Minecraft that is a lot like a villager , with a few differences in their behavior and where they spawn. Let's learn about wandering traders in Minecraft.

Supported Platforms

Wandering traders are available in the following versions of Minecraft:

* The version that it was added or removed, if applicable. NOTE: Pocket Edition (PE), Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch, and Windows 10 Edition are now called Bedrock Edition. We will continue to show them individually for version history.

A wandering trader is not the same as a villager in Minecraft, though they have some similarities. Wandering traders are found wandering the game with leashed trader llamas ( there are always one or two trader llamas attached by leads to a wandering trader ). The following is a picture of what a wandering trader looks like in the game:

Hostility Level (Passive)

A wandering trader is a passive mob. The term mob is short for mobile and is used to refer to all living, moving creatures in the game such as chickens, creepers, and wandering traders. Because a wandering trader is a passive mob, it will never attack you in the game (Creative or Survival mode).

Health Points

Where to Find Wandering Traders

In Minecraft, wandering traders will naturally spawn in the game on land in most Overworld biomes. The wandering trader always spawns with one of two trader llamas leashed to the wandering trader. As you play the game, the wandering trader and its trader llamas will come and find you. You can trade with the wandering trader.

Also, if you break the lead between the wandering trader and the trader llama, you can tame and ride the trader llama, just like you can with a regular llama . Because there are a number of ways to unleash a trader llama, you don't need to kill the wandering trader to unleash its trader llamas.

If you are having trouble finding a wandering trader, you can summon a wandering trader using a cheat or you can use a spawn egg .

A wandering trader does not carry a weapon.

Attack Method

You are safe to walk near a wandering trader and it will not attack or cause you any damage. And if you attack a wandering trader, it will just try to walk away. It will not attack you back.

When you kill a wandering trader in Minecraft, any leads attached to the trader llamas will break and you can get the lead as a drop.

If the trader llama was holding a milk bucket or a Potion of Invisibility , these items would also have been dropped when the wandering trader was killed.

Make sure you pick up any dropped items before they disappear. They are useful and should be kept in your inventory to be used later.

Experience Points

As you play the game, you will gain experience. The most common way to gain experience is by killing mobs. When a mob is killed you will see tiny green and yellow balls appear and move towards you.

These orbs represent experience points. Unfortunately, when you kill a wandering trader, you will not gain any experience points.

Similar to a villager, a wandering trader can also trade with a player. Each wandering trader has a set of trades available. This is what a set of trades might look like:

Minecraft: A Complete Guide To Trading With Villagers

Villagers can offer a wide range of useful items through trading. Here, you can learn all there is to know about this Minecraft NPC.

Quick Links

Finding a village, how to find emeralds, villager trading and leveling, villager stock, zombie villagers, all trades per profession.

A major feature in Minecraft is trading with villagers. The trading feature has since been extended to the Wandering Trader as well as Piglins in the Nether, to help diversify the game. However, the main method for trading still remains trading with villagers of different professions in a village.

Related: Minecraft: A Complete Guide To Beacons

Trading might seem complex at first, but it actually remains a very simple feature at its core. This guide will break down all trades for each profession, as well as explain how trading works in the first place.

Updated August 6, 2023 by Jacqueline Zalace: Creating a villager trading hall in Minecraft is one of the best ways to obtain a lot of resources. As such, we've updated this guide with even more information on how to trade with villagers.

In order to trade, you'll need to find a village. Fortunately, villages are quite common. You can find a village in the following biomes. Additionally, each village will have a different style based on the biome.

• Snowy Plains (Bedrock exclusive)
• Snowy Taiga (Bedrock exclusive)

Overall, villages aren't that rare; by taking a short expedition around the area, you may find one. Villages don't spawn too close together, as well as too often in the same biome, so if you are near multiple biomes, be sure to search them all.

Now, it's time to get yourself some emeralds. Emeralds are the primary currency for trading with villagers . They're not easy to get your hands on, but there are a few ways of getting them, which you can check out below.

If you plan on mining for emeralds, it's important to note that this is incredibly high. Y=256 is unreachable from most biomes; you will instead need to find a mountain or peak biome that has large stone mountains reaching into the sky.

In a biome with high peaks, you should be able to find plenty of emeralds, with many possibly exposed on the surface.

To start trading, right-click on a villager with a uniform. Each profession has a unique costume that sets them apart from one another. You can also hold an item or emerald in your hand, and if a villager holds something in their hand in turn, it means they are willing to trade with you for that item.

Villagers will level up as you trade with them. Every villager begins at Novice level , followed by Apprentice, Journeyman, Expert, and Master. Each level unlocks more trade options you can take advantage of. A villager's level progress is marked at the top of the trading interface, and their level is marked by the orb at their uniform's belt.

Unemployed villagers and Nitwits cannot be traded with. You can place a job block near an unemployed villager to give it a job, but Nitwits (wearing green) will never be able to have a job.

If you're not happy with a specific trade, you can always mine out the villager's workstation and place it back down. This resets their trades and all level progress. With Librarians , this method is particularly useful, since Librarians have a chance of having any enchanted book as their first trade, including rare ones like Mending and Infinity.

Generally, you'll want to secure a few villagers with good emerald trades. These are trades, which are cheap to make and will get you some emeralds, so that you can afford more important trades with other villagers.

Just like in real life, supply and demand are important aspects of trading with villagers. Every trade is limited by its supply, meaning you can't expect to endlessly trade with a villager when it comes to a specific item. The more valuable the trade, the less the villager will have in stock.

To combat this, you can have multiple villagers with the same job. This allows you to trade more items without having to wait until the following day.

In order for the stock to be reset, the villager needs to work at their workstation , which generally happens a maximum of twice a day. The trade will remain disabled until the villager has restocked again.

When it comes to pricing, there are a number of things that affect it, which you should be vigilant about.

As their name implies, zombie villagers are villagers that have turned into zombies. While they are a zombie, they can attack and deal some serious damage. Fortunately, you can transform them back into a villager through a few steps, listed below.

• Capture the zombie villager.
• Splash Potion of Weakness
• Tipped Arrow with Weakness Potion
• Lingering Potion of Weakness
• You just need to toss it to them.
• The zombie villager will begin to shake, indicating that it is about to be cured.

Once the villager is cured, they will offer trade discounts to you that are permanent. Infecting and curing villagers is a great way to reduce the cost of items. You can continue to infect and cure the same villager until prices go down to one emerald (or one item).

For more information on curing a zombie villager, be sure to check out this guide .

Now, let's take a look at each profession, as well as what they sell at each level.

The numbers associated with each trade are the default prices, unaffected by curing.

Wandering Trader

• 1 Appearance

Appearance [ ]

A wandering trader resembles a villager, in terms of posture and facial feature design. Their clothing appears similar to what someone would wear when traveling long distances - the robes would keep them cool in the heat and warm in the cold, making them practical for a mob that can spawn in practically any biome . They are hooded robes are dark blue with red and gold trim. Under the robes, they wear a green shirt, brown pants, a belt with a gold buckle, and a red face mask or scarf. They also wear sandals as footwear.

Behavior [ ]

A wandering trader will spawn at dawn and will either wander around a village meeting point, or nearby a player 's spawning point. It is always accompanied by a pair of  trader llamas wearing unique decorations similar to the clothing the wandering trader wears. If a wandering trader's llama's leash breaks (which happens quite often) or if the wandering trader is killed the llama doesn't  despawn , otherwise it despawns with the wandering trader. However, a different wandering trader will eventually spawn , carrying a different stock of items for sale. Like villagers, wandering traders will flee from hostile mobs, and will run around in a panic when attacked by a player. Additionally, if attacked by a player, a wandering trader's llamas will start to attack the player. However, the wandering trader themselves will just panic.

A wandering trader has a similar trading interface to a villager's, except it only trades for emeralds . Also, their trades won't expand if a player completes a trade.

When they see a hostile mob or when it is  night , a wandering trader may drink an invisibility potion to become  invisible . They will then drink  milk  during the morning to neutralize the effect.

The wandering trader has 6 random  trades . New trades are not unlocked after trading with them. After spawning, the wandering trader has a managed schedule for 40–60 minutes. The trades you can make with the Wandering Trader are below...

-Plants: lily pads, leaves, flowers, drip-leaf plants(coming in 1.17), tree saplings, kelp(sea weed), cacti, ferns, mushrooms, sugar cane, vines, pumpkins, seeds, sea pickles, and dead bushes

-Blocks: sand, coral, ice, orange terracotta, podzol, blue ice, and glow stone

-Others: slime ball, gun powder, dye, buckets of fish(tropical, puffer fish), and nautilus shells

(When 1.17 comes out, besides selling drip-leaf plants, they could also sell buckets of axolotl)

• Wandering traders are the second mob to have the ability to use potions, the first being the witch .
• A wandering trader's voice is different from that of a normal villager.
• Wandering traders can spawn anywhere where there is enough space for them and their llamas, which allows them to spawn in flat worlds or in, say, a glass dome at the bottom of the ocean.
• Wandering traders will not turn into witches when struck by lightning, unlike normal villagers.

Wandering Trades

The Wandering Trades datapack will give more use to the Wandering Trader villager, by adding trades with some custom mini-block heads. It also includes a trade to obtain the members of the Hermitcraft server.

• 2.1 1. Manually (Difficulty: Intermediate)
• 2.2 2. Using an online generator

Commands [ edit ]

This datapack does not have any commands. If uninstallation is required, just delete the datapack from the datapacks folder.

Editing the Datapack [ edit ]

You can edit the datapack to instead of including the heads of the Hermitcraft server, include the heads of the players on your server.

1. Manually (Difficulty: Intermediate) [ edit ]

This is recommended for people who have a moderate understanding of datapacks and functions, and have the ability to run .py (Python) programs. The guide is available on our Discord server in the channel #add-wandering-trades

2. Using an online generator [ edit ]

A user on our Discord Server created an online generator for the community to use. You can find it here . This generator was created by Morse#0080.
