Trade Queue GUI
Opening /exptrade pending shows a chest with one row per queued trade:
| Slot | Item | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Clock | Seconds remaining before this trade expires |
| 2 | Player Head | Who sent the trade |
| 3 | Water Bucket / Bucket | Offer (giving XP) / Request (asking for XP) |
| 4 | Paper | Trade details on hover (from, type, amount) |
| 8 | Recovery Compass | Click to accept |
| 9 | Compass | Click to decline |
The GUI stays open after each action as long as trades remain in the queue.
