Update a wandering trader

For now they only sell rare items to make them renewable or more accessible. 

I suggest adding trades that gives you emeralds.

If he would trade warped or crimson wood, skulk blocks or chorus fruits for emeralds that would add some challenge to the game. Of course add limits to amount of those trades in case of player already having those items. 

It will also bring new use for the heart of the sea. Usually player need only one item, but because it's very rare wandering trader would trade if for increased amount of emeralds or even some exclusive loot - that will cause players to explore ocean more. 

I'm playing my survival world now and I've seen few of them already. I haven't traded with villagers for now, so i don't have any emeralds - i can't trade with him. I see an idea behind this - i need to go to the mountains to get some of those, but he's the trader, in my head i should be able to sell something to him.

    That's a good point. How are you supposed to trade without emeralds? Although Emeralds aren't usually hard to get during the mid-game, there are many circumstances where one might not find a village, or Emeralds to trade.

    Plus, if the Wandering Trader gave Emeralds for rare and exotic items (like Chorus Fruits, Nether plants, bamboo, etc.) then it would give those items more use for endgame players who have an abundant amount of them, while early-game players wouldn't have any of them at that point.

    Personally, I think the Wandering Trader needs item or item trades, oak sampling for Jungle sampling, sort of thing for that early game, and low/no emerald issue. Giving him items for Emerald Trades would be good as well, though the trades would need to either be high quantity items like 64 logs for an emerald or items villagers don't ask for normally,
