Talk:Wandering Trader

There can be multiple Wandering Traders in the world by naturally spawning.
In my own survival world where I dont cheat already spawned multiple Wandering traders at the same time so please stop changing it. --31.18.254.205 14:04, 17 February 2019 (UTC)


 * 19w05a says only 1 can spawn per world, meaning only one at a time. Your world may be bugged, have you submitted a report to the bug tracker just in case? I haven't encountered multiple spawns nor have I seen others get multiple ones to show up at once? Was this Java or Bedrock Edition? I think until it can be verified it should remain reflective of what is said in 19w05a snapshot log.Esperenderman (talk) 18:31, 17 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Perhaps what's happening is that a wandering trader spawns in one chunk and then the player moves far enough away for the chunk to unload, and then another wandering trader spawns. The comment above isn't the only one we've received on this; another anon editor recently added a similar comment directly into the article (which was reverted). ~ Amatulic (talk) 02:17, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

Does harming a wandering trader affect reputation?
Does hitting or killing a wandering trader in a village affect the player's reputation in the village? This isn't addressed in the article. I suppose I could test it by attacking a wandering trader and see if the village iron golem becomes hostile. ~ Amatulic (talk) 13:30, 16 May 2019 (UTC)


 * I don't think so, since the Trader is a separate mob entirely. --AwesomeNinja886 (talk) Smithing Table JE1 BE1.png VillagerFace.png Sword diamond TextureUpdate.png  02:34, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

Blue Villager in 1.6.1 Poster KIND OF looks like the Wandering Trader
Look, I know the blue villager PROBABLY wasn't the Trader, but I mean really, the original Trader seriously looks like him.



You can see the similarities, right? Well, User Amatulic doesn't see it, and keeps reverting my edits despite me making it perfectly clear that it was just being like "Hey, these kind of look similar even though they might not be the exact same thing, I just saw the similarity and thought it was cool".

You get what I'm saying, right? --AwesomeNinja886 (talk)     02:33, 27 May 2019 (UTC)


 * There are similarities, but it really is subjective. There's no fact here, and as such, it shouldn't be listed on this page. -PancakeIdentity (talk) 03:29, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Just because you see a similarity doesn't mean it should be mentioned. The articles on this wiki are supposed to convey factual information about Minecraft, not the personal views of players. The closest thing we have to personal viewpoints on this wiki would be the Tutorial pages, and even then this pictorial comparison wouldn't really fit. If you could find a reference to someone associated with Mojang who makes the same observation, then we can include it. This is a reference website, not a blog or social media platform. ~ Amatulic (talk) 06:24, 27 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Agreeing with the others, additionally this is what I see: completely different mobs except for the villager face; the clothes are vastly different. FVbico (talk) 06:29, 27 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Okay, I get what User PancakeIdentity and User Amatulic are saying. I don't know how far back the Wandering Trader was being developed, it very well may have been back in 1.6.1, but I have no official source. Sorry about that. User FVbico, look at the color of the clothes. They are similar shades of blue.--AwesomeNinja886 (talk) Smithing Table JE1 BE1.png VillagerFace.png Sword diamond TextureUpdate.png  13:02, 27 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Similar, but not the same, and ONLY the color is similar, the design is vastly different, so nothing about the traders resembles that villager in my point of view. FVbico (talk) 13:15, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
 * To me, that picture above of the 3 views of a wandering trader look like D&D miniatures... but we sure wouldn't want to say THAT! ~ Amatulic (talk) 18:53, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

He does drink invisibility on the PS4 version.

Is spawning in villages Bedrock exlusive?
See title.--Delibirda (talk) 11:30, 17 October 2019 (UTC)


 * I've never seen or heard of it happening in Java, so I'd guess yes. Not entirely sure though. -PancakeIdentity (talk) 15:21, 17 October 2019 (UTC)


 * I play only Bedrock, and I've seen wandering traders in villages, but I was never certain if they spawned there, or arrived there from someplace else. At some point I notice that one has appeared but I never see how they get there. ~ Amatulic (talk) 18:31, 17 October 2019 (UTC)


 * Based on my testing on Bedrock. When I create an artificial village, wandering trader spawn most of time on claimed bell, so wandering trader spawn in village. ImakerB (talk) 22:10, 17 October 2019 (UTC)


 * It's been verified that it's not a behavior in Java. -PancakeIdentity (talk) 22:45, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

Vertification
I added that the trader will despawn even when named. Can someone check if it is true?--Delibirda (talk) 08:53, 28 October 2019 (UTC)


 * Don't add information that you don't know to be true. -PancakeIdentity (talk) 15:11, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
