How to Stop Wandering Traders From Spawning at Your Base
Place the Anti-Solicitor Talisman
The
Anti-Solicitor Talisman is the item that actually blocks wandering traders from approaching your base. Hold it in your hand and right-click to activate it, or place it down if your version supports placement. Once active, it creates an invisible zone around its position where wandering traders will not spawn or will not path toward.
Cover the Whole Base
A single talisman only covers a limited radius, so for a large base you will need more than one. Place them so their coverage areas overlap at the edges of your build. If traders are still showing up, you have a gap — walk the perimeter and check where the coverage ends.
Combine With the Sign and Rug
The
No Soliciting Sign and
Trader Rug are decorative and thematic companions to the talisman. The sign visually marks the area as off-limits, and the rug can be placed at entrances. They reinforce the same idea but the talisman is the functional piece. Use all three together for a base that both looks and behaves like it has a no-soliciting policy.
Check the FAQ Section
If traders still appear after placing a talisman, check the wiki's FAQ and commands sections. There may be a command to verify active coverage or to toggle the mod's behavior globally.
