Wandering Trader Announcements 📣

The Wandering Trader Announcements datapack from Vanilla Tweaks broadcasts a chat message to all players whenever a Wandering Trader spawns in the world.

🧠 How It Works

In vanilla Minecraft, Wandering Traders spawn randomly near players every few in-game days. However, there's no notification when they appear, making them easy to overlook — especially if they spawn behind terrain or during nighttime.

With this datapack installed:

• Whenever a Wandering Trader spawns, a message appears in chat:

  📣 A Wandering Trader has appeared nearby!

• This message is visible to all players currently online.

• The notification appears only once per trader spawn, and helps players respond before the trader despawns (which typically happens after 40–60 minutes).
