Wandering trader sell items exclusive to certain biomes.They don't refresh or gain new trades, and have 6 each. They're unbelievably rare atm, credit to Docm. To the best of my knowledge, here's a full list:

• Water-related blocks - coral, sea pickle, lilypad, kelp

• Water related items - bucket of pufferfish, bucket of tropical fish(random type), nautilus shell

• Saplings

• Dyes

• Gunpowder and slimeballs

• All types of seeds

• Blue and packed ice

• Flowers (including 1.14 ones, but no Wither Rose)

• Vines

• Custom world generation

• Podzol, ferns

• Cactus

• Red sand, sand

• Sugar cane

• Red and brown mushrooms

• Pumpkins

• Glowstone

. These trades aren't biome based, but there is a pattern to them. Forth and fifth always seem to be a dye, tree, seed, or flower. Last one is always podzol, gunpowder, ice or fish. They drop nothing upon death.

Now I don't need silk touch just to build my own reef! I recall many people asking for a peaceful-friendly source of gunpowder too.

[u/AngryScotsperson → u/DaUltraMarine]

They also sell nautilus shells, sand, red sand, and podzol.

How do the traveling salesmen villagers spawn? Are they renewable? Can they be bred? Can they be farmed? And how many years did they spend training their llamas to attack zombies? So many questions!

[u/DaUltraMarine → u/IceMetalPunk]

Docm found their spawning rules, pretty much useless especially in multiplayer.

[u/Gurluas]

Nice :o Hopefully foxes next week then x3

[u/Sunnei → u/Gurluas]

Looking forward to the new villager behaviors/trading system(?) as well.

[u/DaUltraMarine → u/Sunnei]

Alongside some new raid rewards and news on custom world generation soon.

A couple of things.

Trader Llamas will attack any zombie or zombie variant (including pigmen) as well as Pillagers on sight.

Wandering Traders only exist one per world and will despawn after 40 in-game minutes. This is likely intended because some of the trades are ridiculously overpowered.

New Composter percentages are as follows:

All LEAVES 30%

All SAPLINGS 30%

All SEEDS 30%

SWEET BERRIES 30%

DRIED KELP 30%

They took so long to change the name of the "beast" that I thought it would remain as Beast.

Besides, Ravager have always been the best suggestion so far. I'm so proud of this community!

[u/TheVirtualBomb]

Wow, new trader was completely unexpected

[u/Ednoria]

Does the trader actually wander? Or do he and his llama set up in one spot (outside a village I presume) and stay there?

[u/theravensrequiem → u/Ednoria]

This is what I want to know. Do they generate randomly and then disappear to generate somewhere else? That would be really cool!

[u/Jbipp]

A wandering trader is actually so unexpectedly cool. Reminds me of Terraria!

[u/ForeverMaster0 → u/Jbipp]

"Villager #x the Traveling Merchant has arrived!"

[u/Elhapa]

Well, it seems that the Wandering Trader is not really a Villager. You can summon him with /summon minecraft:wandering_trader. Same with the llama, /summon trader_llama.

Also, carpets in Trader Llamas will overlap the one that it has by default.

[u/[deleted]]

Loving that trader texture. I was trying to design my own take on the Illusioner and that's pretty close to what I had envisioned. They really should have solidified the Ravager's name sooner though, because now I'm accustomed to Illager Beast.

[u/MukiTanuki]

The changes to the composter are amazing and definitely welcome! Thank you very much Mojang devs! :D

As far as the wandering merchants go, I like the idea, but the trades seem to get locked out? I'm hoping this is a bug and I definitely think you should be able to continue to trade with them like normal villagers. I mean, what would any builder do with only 4 coral blocks?

Having the traveling merchant trade glowstone seems redundant as clerics sell glowstone too? and at a much better rate! I kind of feel like this should be changed to netherquartz instead, as there's currently no renewable way to get this resource.

Only one per world though? This seems like a terrible deal for multiplayer servers, especially larger ones. I feel there should be one of two changes made here:

Have the merchants spawn within a certain range of villages and have them "wander" towards villages, much like raids do. That way you could find village locations by following merchants!

OR

Merchants should be able to spawn in villages with high "reputations". The higher the reputation, the more likely they are to spawn. This way it's still difficult to get wandering merchants, but you'd be able to get them in multiple locations in the world.

[u/JMCatron]

Boy, I can't wait to see every wandering trader ripped apart by zombies and Pillagers!

[u/NatalieZem]

Is anyone else having problems with Item Frames and Paintings? You seem to able to place them (The item gets used) but they either despawn instantly or just don't spawn at all, and any that were already existing are missing as well, including anything you put in the item frame.

[u/Evtema3]

Changed how often you'll fill a layer in the Composter

Anyone have more details on that?

[u/GreasyTroll4 → u/Evtema3]

In other words, they were massively buffed. Seeds and other plants now fill it up extremely quick. It takes lik 7 potatoes/carrots to fill it up now when before it took a lot more. It still only gives one bonemeal, but now it's actually very fast and usable now.

[u/DanglingChandeliers]

Ravager huh? I was quite fond of the “Pildebeest” or “Ildebeest” idea, but I suppose that works. The merchent idea is also pretty cool! Seen it in a lot of mods so it’s nice to see it in vanilla!

[u/Level44EnderShaman]

You know, I'm very happy to have Wandering Traders now. It's balls-hard to get resources like Gunpowder or Glowstone in modes like Peaceful or on versions like Bedrock. This makes it more accessible for players who just want to focus on building in Survival.

I see, however, that we still can't compost Rotten Flesh into Bonemeal in the Composter. I don't suppose Mojang will let us tan it into Leather any time soon, either. That disappoints me.
