About this project
What does Build A Wandering Guy! add?
OK, making this up on the fly.... so first things first, might be wondering what's this for if the wandering trader isn't till 1.14+ well, you see a fun little but impactful mod exists called Wandering Traders backport or "Traders" by ID nickname, and its very useful if making a future in past modpack with things like future mc and others like Villager backport and such, but the annoying thing is setting up configs, and something like "setting tickrate for chance for wandering trader" is too finnicky, just adigit to low and you dont see him for 30 days, set it one digit to much and your world is laggy, not to mention the chance for each trade and if you customized any of it, so this allows you to craft him with two similar recipes, now they are not my best recipes i made them rushy because i was more focus trying to fix the positioning and such, but remember WANDERING TRADERS BACKPORT IS REQUIRED
anyways so this is what the recipes look like (using JEI/JER; I forgot which)

And besides that, yeah, it's pretty much just like my "Build A Guy" but wandering trader; mainly made it because they made the wandering trader go INVISIBLE LIKE ALL THE FREAKING TIME WITH NO OPTION TO CHANGE IT IN CONFI. Anyways , it's almost done with my first mod pack,ck just tinkering still with the InControl code :)
byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Q & A:
Q: Why did I make this?
A: Because I hate having to deal with a sneaky little C### hiding in my walls and the tickrate sucks ahh
Q: Will you ever get the placement against the side of blocks fixed, please..?
A: Deal with it, mcreater sucks still
Q: Do you hate the wandering INVIS Boi that makes hmm sounds while you're in your underground base?
A: YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!%$#&*()#@&*(**/*-}}{+<>";.`~>;
