Wandering Trader

Passive Mob

Health Points: 20

Wandering traders are passive mobs that will spawn randomly, up to 48 blocks away from a player, along with two leashed trader llamas, which will drop their leads if they or the wandering trader are killed or separated. The wandering trader will despawn after 40 minutes. They will usually not drop anything, unless they are drinking a potion of invisibility or a bucket of milk, in which case there will be an 8.5% chance of them dropping that item.

Wandering traders tend to stick within 16 blocks of their initial spawn point, unless influenced by players or other mobs. They will avoid zombies and their variants, all the illager variants, and vexes, staying at least 8 blocks away from them. They are targeted by zombies, and, unlike villagers, if they are killed by one, they will not become zombified. When night falls, they will drink a potion of invisibility, and when day arrives, they will drink milk to remove the status effect. If the player attacks one, its llamas will attack the player by spitting.

The wandering trader will also sell a variety of organic blocks and items to the player for emeralds, but will not buy anything from them.
