How to Spawn a Data Trader
Finding the Spawn Eggs
Data Trader provides custom spawn eggs to let map creators and players place traders directly into a world. To access them, ensure you are in Creative mode and open your creative inventory. Search for the Data Trader eggs in the miscellaneous or mob spawn eggs section. You will find two distinct spawn eggs representing the two available trader variants: one for the standard variant and one for the stationary variant.
Placing the Mob
Select the spawn egg matching the behavior you want for your area. Right-click on top of the block where you want the trader to appear.
- Use the standard egg if you want a trader that moves and behaves similarly to a standard villager.
- Use the no-AI egg if you need a permanent vendor that stays fixed in one spot.
Once spawned, interacting with the trader will allow you to access the trade offers provided by any active datapacks in your world. If no custom trade datapacks are active, the trade interface may not display customized offers until one is loaded.
