Trading outpost

A trading outpost is made of only one or two houses and can only generate in biomes without villages (e.g. birch forest, badlands, jungle, small islands in the middle of an ocean)

Dependent on the biome, the trading houses are made out of different materials:

- Brown, red, orange, yellow and white terracotta in mesa biomes

- birch logs and planks in birch forests

- jungle logs, planks and leaves in the jungle

- sandstone, dirt, cobblestone and oak planks on islands

Trading outposts are a civilization anchor for players in the middle of the hostile wilderness. Here you can find a bed for the night, from the traders you can get a warm soup, baked potatoes, a new armor for your horse and so on. In mesa outposts, you often can get things like gold, copper and diamond items.

Of course you have to pay with emeralds, but be careful, the traders will not give you some. You have to get them from normal villagers or mine them yourself.

In opposite to the wandering trader, trading outposts are warm, welcoming places that also feature some underrated blocks (like birch planks and jungle planks) - but yes, they are very rare!
