Lets be honest Wandering Traders are just lame. So I thought I would spice it up. With this pack you can trade minerals for other minerals. This would also give you a reason to collect copper, because you could potentially turn it into netherite!

The idea came from the Market in Age of Empires. In the game if you are low on one resource you can trade it for another. I thought that would be nice in Minecraft.

Just load it in and boom. It should work.

To uninstall it type this
/function merchant:uninstall

The percent chance and some of the trades are outdated in this image. (but the pack has been updated)

I've been using this pack on my server for a few months now and my friends and I really love it. Thanks so much for making this!!!

I was wondering if there's any way you could make one that sells copper, too? I absolutely hate digging for it and drowned farms are slow, so this would really help out.

Thanks!
As for the copper I don't think I added it because it didn't have any real use in the game yet and would be annoying for players to find a copper trader when they wanted something else.
Have you and your players found a version of all the traders?

does this replace other trades for wandering traders or does this replace all of them? Is it compatible with other trader datapacks?

This would REPLACE any trade the Wandering trader has. It will not add to existing trades.
