Wandering Trader

Wandering traders are Passive Mobs added in Update 1.10.

Spawning
Wandering traders spawn randomly across the world or occasionally in Village gathering sites with two trader llamas.

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

After spawning, the wandering trader will have a managed schedule for 40–60 minutes. After the time expires, the wandering trader will despawn. They will despawn even if they are named with a name tag or put in a vehicle such as a minecart or a boat. A wandering trader will despawn sooner if all trades have been locked. The trader may later respawn with new trades.

Trading
Interacting with a wandering trader will allow the player to trade with them. Different offers can be viewed by pressing the left and right buttons next to the currently displayed offer. All offers involve Emeralds as a currency. Trading allows the acquisition of rare items that would otherwise be fairly difficult to obtain, such as coral or blue ice.
