Usage

Summon Hired Trader

Use this to summon a hired trader.

• Obtainable with the hired_traders:contract loot table.
• The hired trader should be summoned on top of a barrel, whose contents are used to configure their trades.
• By default the hired trader looks like a vanilla villager wearing a green eyeshade.

Clipboard

Hold this while updating a hired trader to obtain a full inventory of their stock.

• Can be crafted with three paper and one planks; recipe is unlocked when the player holds paper.
• Obtainable with the hired_traders:inventory loot table.

Configuring Trades

Hired traders are configured by setting the inventory of the barrel under them as follows:

buy1 buy1 buy1 buy1 buy1 buy1 buy1 buy1 buy1 buy2 buy2 buy2 buy2 buy2 buy2 buy2 buy2 buy2 sell sell sell sell sell sell sell sell sell

Every column is a trade: first and second item are the stacks bought by the trader (one can be empty) and third column is the stack sold by the trader for those items.

The trader will update their trades to reflect this when their employer crouches in front of them. At this point, several things will happen:

• the trader will rebuild their trade list
• the trader will spill all items in their inventory that are not sold in any of their trades. This can include payment received, unless the trader has a trade that sells the same things that other trade buys.
• the trader pick any items on the floor around them that they are supposed to sell.
• the trader will update the maximum amount of times each of their trades can be used according to the amount of items in their inventory.

Overhead

• checks every player to see if they have crouched this frame
  • checks every entity in a 5-block radius around the player to see if it is a hired trader to be updated.
