Wandering Trader May Leave Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I make a Wandering Trader leave without killing it?
Open the Wandering Trader's trade screen and click the despawn button in the top-left corner. The trader vanishes peacefully in a puff of particles instead of you having to attack it.
Where is the despawn button on the trader's screen?
It sits in the top-left of the Wandering Trader's GUI, separate from the trade slots. Just click it once and the trader despawns.
Do the trader's llamas disappear too when I click the button?
Yes, but only if they're leashed to the trader, and this behavior is configurable. If you've disabled llama despawning in the config, the llamas stay behind.
How do I bring a Wandering Trader back after despawning it?
Use the /wandering-trader spawn command, which requires cheats to be enabled. Run it and a new trader appears near you.
Why isn't the /wandering-trader spawn command working?
The command requires cheats to be enabled on your world or server. If cheats are off, enable them or use an operator account on a server.
Can I turn off the particle effects when the trader despawns?
Yes, particle effects are optional and can be toggled in the mod's config. Disable them if you prefer a clean, silent despawn.
How do I stop the llamas from despawning with the trader?
Open the mod's config and disable the llama despawning option. After that, only the trader disappears and the leashed llamas remain.
Is it safe to use the despawn button on a multiplayer server?
Yes, the button works the same on servers as in singleplayer, and it despawns the trader for everyone. Make sure you actually want it gone, since other players lose access to its trades too.
Does this mod work with other trader or mob mods?
It only adds a button to the vanilla Wandering Trader's trade screen, so it generally coexists with other mods. Mods that heavily rework the trader's GUI or replace the trader entity may conflict with the button.
Will this mod hurt my game's performance?
No, it's a lightweight mod that only adds a GUI button, a command, and optional particles. There's no ongoing background processing, so performance impact is negligible.
