Adds over 30 variations of new carts and types of trader homes (as well as some way stones) to the world gen.

Replaces the vanilla trader structures.

Not adding new types of traders, just their homes.

 

If this mod is getting added after world creation, it can only affect chunks that are generated with the mod active.

The mod can be removed without any issues.

is this compatible with trader camps? :D

💬 NiclAssAuthor, Feb 13th at 11:25 AM

VaelophisNyx

Let's say it's intended. I think you can steal other stuff as well :P

I would say it's a game bug to be still able to take stuff off claimed land. But it's used in the RA as well as a feature.

💬 VaelophisNyx, Feb 13th at 8:00 AM

note, you can steal the bricks out of the back of some cart structures. It mentions it being protected but it doesn't stop you

DrBubba

Thank you very much!

💬 NiclAssAuthor, Feb 9th at 4:08 PM

Preacher_Kitty

No
also not in the scope of this mod.
dev team always said structures will stay at the same spot, but they don't. 

You can spawn structures manually with command now in 1.19

/wgen structures list

/wgen structures spawn

Hydromancerx

They show up for me.
I'm not familiar with the Homo sapiens game mode. Maybe give it a try.

💬 Preacher_Kitty, Feb 9th at 12:55 PM

is there a command to set a trader location as just regen'ing the chunks makes the old trader carts disappear

 

💬 Hydromancerx, Feb 9th at 12:16 AM

NiclAss

If you start your world without lore content and then add this mod will they show up in new chunks? Or will they not show up because traders are considered "lore content"?

💬 DrBubba, Feb 8th at 8:32 PM

As usual, another brilliant mod by NiclAss and team!

💬 NiclAssAuthor, Jan 17th at 7:38 PM

DasPrinzip

Thanks for letting me know.

Vanilla changed something again so will have to update this mod for 1.19 stable :( tyty will work on that in the coming days.

Wana point out that the comment below was fixed by the fairplayguardian mod and is not a direct bettertraders issue.

💬 Whiteshadoh, Nov 22nd 2023 at 5:44 PM

Any idea why the v0.0.2 doesnt auto download from a server to the client? Can we get this changed to true, or atleast set the mod to universal so it doesnt get pinged by guardian?

"requiredOnClient": false

Voidwalker

Thanks! Means a lot to us. We are looking forward to keep updating this mod. I just think the amount of new content will not be that much this year. Just letting you know.

💬 Voidwalker, Nov 19th 2023 at 1:06 AM

I'm glad to see this Mod grow so much in so little time. It makes finding a trader camp so much cooler~

Its still one of my must have Mods!~

💬 TheNiteFox, Oct 27th 2023 at 1:11 AM

Oh my goodness, I have been a way too long! This mod looks amazing! Definitely trying it out next time I boot up the game! 

💬 NiclAssAuthor, Jun 24th 2023 at 12:11 PM

JuniferBerries

Yes like QuakingDoom said some will spawn without a cart where they can live in (they are on the "move" with those so yeah no shelter)
They will not get attacked by any mobs tho so should be np

QuakingDoom

Thanks for answering it for me :P tyty

💬 QuakingDoom, Jun 23rd 2023 at 10:48 PM

JuniferBerries

Yes, this mod affects all the structures of traders. It doesn't touch their item stock whatsoever. It should'nt be a problem if they can't enter their cart.

💬 JuniferBerries, Jun 23rd 2023 at 7:44 PM

Does this mod affect the carts themselves? I found my first trader and he has no way to enter the cart. Treasure hunter trader with a greenhouse type of cart.

💬 DeNoven, May 22nd 2023 at 5:57 PM

Lovely to hear and I've seen em in action - just like Voidmaker, I can't go without your mods, loving these too!

💬 NiclAssAuthor, May 21st 2023 at 6:29 PM

Voidwalker

Thank you very much! Means a lot to me !

💬 NiclAssAuthor, May 21st 2023 at 6:28 PM

DeNoven

I added a spawn mechanic that lets traders spawn in groups they should be quite rare
So yeah trader camps are basicly back

💬 Voidwalker, Apr 30th 2023 at 10:52 PM

Alot of your mods have beomce must haves for any playthrouigh I do, Amazing!

💬 DeNoven, Apr 30th 2023 at 3:10 PM

Hey NiclAss, does this include structure/set pieces for the trader camps (the 2 - 3 trader versions)? 
Looking like yet more great work!

💬 NiclAssAuthor, Apr 29th 2023 at 6:33 PM

Mawg

Thank you very much !

💬 NiclAssAuthor, Apr 29th 2023 at 6:32 PM

PeterSanderson

No it uses the same values vanilla uses for their traders. Which is a mindistance of 600 blocks

💬 PeterSanderson, Apr 29th 2023 at 6:07 PM

Does the mod affect the frequency of traders spawning at all?

💬 Mawg, Apr 29th 2023 at 6:49 AM

This look utterly amazing! well done :D

💬 NiclAssAuthor, Apr 28th 2023 at 7:18 PM

macoto_hino

Yes it will just add stuff via worldgen so you can add this mod after worldcreation and remove the mod without issues

💬 macoto_hino, Apr 28th 2023 at 6:58 PM

Great modeling!
This mod replaces the model when the trader is generated, right?
It won't replace the traders until they have already been generated, right?

💬 NiclAssAuthor, Apr 28th 2023 at 6:48 PM

Plumeria

Thank you very much, be sure to give me some feedback as always :P tyty

💬 NiclAssAuthor, Apr 28th 2023 at 6:47 PM

AnIronicTree

Thank you very much! I do think the builders in the vs team will come up with something awesome eventually as well!

💬 Plumeria, Apr 28th 2023 at 6:44 PM

I love this! Looks great I'm definitely excited to use it :)

💬 ATree, Apr 28th 2023 at 6:44 PM

This is a fantastic mod, great job Niclass! :)

I can imagine the developer's adding this, keep up the great work!
