Spawn and Position a Stationary Data Trader
Choosing the Right Variant
The Data Trader Mod provides two spawn eggs: one for the standard trader with AI, and one for the no-AI variant. For a stationary trader (like a shop NPC), use the no-AI variant spawn egg.
Placing Your Trader
Equip the no-AI Data
Trader spawn egg and right-click on a block where you want the trader to stand. The trader will spawn and remain in that exact location, never wandering or moving.
Customizing Appearance and Trades
Once spawned, the trader's appearance and available trades are determined by the datapack configuration. You can use name tags to give your trader a custom display name, making it easier to identify in your world or map.
Protecting Your Trader
Consider placing your stationary trader in a protected area or behind barriers to prevent accidental damage. Since it has no AI, it won't flee from danger, making it vulnerable to hostile mobs or player interference.
