Wandering Trader Spawn Egg
Wandering Trader Spawn Egg instantly summons a Wandering Trader in Creative mode — a teal spotted egg used for adventure maps and trade testing.
Description
Unlike the natural Wandering Trader that arrives with two leashed trader llamas, Wandering Trader Spawn Egg summons a single trader with no llamas. Builders and map-makers use Wandering Trader Spawn Egg to place reliable trading NPCs in adventure maps, test farms, and showcase worlds, and in Java Edition right-clicking the egg on a monster spawner reprograms that spawner to produce wandering traders. A spawned Wandering Trader still despawns after 40 to 60 minutes, so place Wandering Trader Spawn Egg when you actually need its rotating emerald trades.
Java & Bedrock Guide
How to use the Wandering Trader Spawn Egg in Minecraft
-
1
Find the egg in Creative
Open the Creative inventory and search for 'Wandering Trader Spawn Egg', or run /give @p wandering_trader_spawn_egg, since the egg cannot be crafted or found in Survival.
-
2
Aim at solid ground
Point the crosshair at a grass, stone, or floor block where you want the Wandering Trader to appear, leaving at least two empty blocks of headroom.
-
3
Right-click to spawn
Use the Wandering Trader Spawn Egg (right-click on Java, tap on Bedrock) to instantly spawn one Wandering Trader with no trader llamas.
-
4
Trade before it despawns
Open the trade menu right away, because a spawned Wandering Trader despawns after 40 to 60 minutes just like a naturally spawned one.
On Java Edition you can right-click the Wandering Trader Spawn Egg on a monster spawner to convert it into a wandering-trader spawner; this does not work in Bedrock Edition.
