Wandering Trader’s Outpost

The Wandering Trader implies that there’s some sort of trade network going on across the Minecraft world, but there’s no evidence of it in the game. I think there should be trading outposts, which would be rare structures that typically require the player to travel some distance to reach. The outposts would have stables with llamas and several booths in different colors, which would have trader NPCs offering unique or rare items, such as banner patterns, enchanted books, large amounts of dyes, or large amounts of raw ores. There could also be a chance for the post to be abandoned. Each wandering trader, once traded with, could offer a trade for a map showing the location of the nearest trading post. Hopefully this would make the wandering traders more functional and less annoying, expand the world’s lore, and make more use of the trading mechanic.

    I like it! Realistically, I would think of it as a sort of market made of stands, where a few wandering traders would spawn.

    I disagree with the OP trades, since wandering traders are already have nice trades that bring features of other biomes conveniently to you.

    Having the wandering traders have a higher rate of spawning at the outpost or around it might make more sense,, making it more of a resting point for wandering traders who maybe want to restock, or get their llamas some well deserved rest. A llama pen sounds pretty great, with maybe one or two trader llamas, and some hay bales. Loot could include carpets, wheat, and some random bits like bread and sticks. Wool tents or small stalls for the traders would also be pretty good.
