Trader Alert

Never miss a Wandering Trader again.

What it does

• When a Wandering Trader spawns, nearby players get a chat message with directions, like "A Wandering Trader showed up 54 blocks north-east of you (120, 70, -340)."
• It also says how long until it leaves.
• A bell sound plays, and the trader glows for 60 seconds so it's easy to spot.
• Type /trader any time to find traders that are still around.
• Traders from spawn eggs are ignored.

Server-side

Only the server needs it. Works in singleplayer too.
