Unlike most other villager-like mobs, wandering traders do not visually sit down when riding objects such as boats and minecarts. The wandering trader does not drink an invisibility potion if attacked by the player.

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. The llamas, however, attack the player by spitting if their master gets hit, except in Peaceful. When attacked by a player, a wandering trader flees from the player as a villager would do. Wandering traders drink potions of invisibility if hurt by magic attacks or projectiles from hostile mobs, or when avoiding illagers, vexes, and zombies.‌

Unlike other villagers, a wandering trader killed by zombies does not become a zombie villager. Wandering traders avoid zombies and their variants, all illager variants, and vexes, staying at least 8 blocks away. They also drink milk at dawn or when the player approaches them at night to remove the invisibility effect. Wandering traders drink a potion of invisibility during dusk and as needed to renew the effect during the night. The wandering trader can sometimes form a caravan, due to wild llamas that follow the leashed trader llama(s). The trader may later respawn with new trades. A wandering trader despawns sooner if all trades have been locked. After the time expires, the wandering trader despawns, even if the wandering trader is named with a name tag or put in a vehicle such as a minecart or boat. New trades are not unlocked after trading with it.Īfter spawning, the wandering trader has a managed schedule for 40–60 minutes. The wandering trader has 6 random trades. Wandering traders do not despawn if marked persistent, by setting the NBT tag, or setting manually with / data merge or /data modify‌. Wandering traders despawn sooner if all the trades are locked. In Bedrock Edition, unleashed trader llamas may never despawn, even when unnamed and/or left in unloaded chunks. 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. Naming the wandering trader with a name tag or placing the wandering trader in a boat/ minecart does not prevent it from despawning. The wandering trader despawns along with its leashed trader llamas after 2-3 days, which is 40-60 minutes of real-time. More than one wandering trader can be spawned using a spawn egg or using commands, although all the wandering traders look the same, but not their trader llamas. The game prefers spawning them on the world surface. When playing on a small remote island, wandering traders usually spawn in the water. In Java Edition, wandering traders never spawn if / gamerule doTraderSpawning is set to false. Wandering traders never spawn if / mobevent minecraft:wandering_trader_event is set to false. In Bedrock Edition, when using spawn eggs or the / summon command to spawn a wandering trader, llamas always spawn with it. Usual spawn-proofing (see Spawn) also works for wandering traders.‌ In Java Edition, each time a spawning attempt succeeds, 10 spawn attempts are made for the wandering trader and both trader llamas on the topmost block in chosen X/Z coordinates that is not air. After 48000 or 72000 ticks, the trader despawns, even when named, along with its trader llamas, resetting the cycle. On average, it takes 14.325 Minecraft days (or 4.8 real-life hours) for a wandering trader to spawn. If that fails, for all subsequent spawn attempts the chance caps at 7.5%. The first spawn attempt has a 2.5% chance of success if it fails, after another 24000 ticks another spawn attempt is made with a 5% chance of success. If there are no wandering traders currently in any loaded chunks, the game tries to spawn a new wandering trader after every following 24000 ticks. After 24000 ticks (20 real-life minutes, or 1 Minecraft day) have passed since the world is created, the game attempts to spawn a wandering trader. However, it is possible to have more than one wandering trader present by having one spawn in loaded chunks, while having another in unloaded chunks. They also try to spawn by a claimed bell in a village.Īt any time, there can be only one wandering trader naturally spawned in loaded chunks. They typically spawn within a 48-block radius of a player.

The wandering trader appears randomly in the Overworld with 2 leashed trader llamas.
