TravelingMerchantWagon

Pack your supplies, hitch your horses, and hit the road as a traveling merchant.

TravelingMerchantWagon adds modular wooden wagons that you build from individual parts. Carry your storage, tools and companions across the world, then stop for the night with a place to rest on board.

Main features

• Build a wagon your way. Choose a standard, extended or wide cargo box, single- or double-horse shafts, and a driver's bench for one, two or three people. Pick a simple wooden bench or a cushioned seat with a backrest, mix wood types, and choose fabric colors.
• Hitch up and drive. Horses, donkeys, skeleton horses and zombie horses can pull your wagon. Accelerate gradually, steer, brake and reverse, or use the sprint key for a higher forward speed. Cargo affects acceleration and the extra speed available. Push an unhitched wagon to reposition it or help it out of a difficult spot.
• Take your workshop with you. Load permitted blocks into visible cargo slots. Open supported chests and barrels, and use supported workstations directly on the wagon. Unload cargo with sneak-right-click.
• Bring companions and rest on the road. Add wooden cargo stools for passengers and straw mats for sleeping through the night. Sleeping occupants stay with the wagon as it moves.
• Fit useful extras. Install a storage cabinet beneath the driver's bench. Choose a rollable cargo cover or a canvas canopy with front and rear curtains; both adapt to the size of your wagon.
• Park and rebuild. Use an assembly jack to switch between a parked block structure and a drivable wagon. Parts, cargo and stored contents stay with it during conversion. A carpenter's hammer lets you dismantle the wagon and recover its components.

Getting started

1. Place an assembly jack and fit a cargo box to its raised platform.
2. Add a driver's bench, shafts, two small front wheels and two large rear wheels.
3. Right-click the jack to assemble your wagon.
4. Lead your draft animals over and right-click the shafts to hitch them.
5. Take the driver's position and use your movement keys to drive.

Install Patchouli for the Coachman's Handbook, with assembly diagrams, crafting recipes and instructions for cargo, equipment and controls. Players receive the handbook when joining a world, unless the server disables the gift. It can also be crafted with a book, a lead and any planks.

Optional mod integrations

• Patchouli: An illustrated in-game handbook to guide you through building and using your wagon.
• Traveler's Backpack: Transport backpacks and open their original storage screens on board. Separate sleeping bags can be loaded across two cargo slots and used by players without changing their respawn point.
• Sophisticated Backpacks: Load backpacks and access their storage and settings screens directly on the wagon.
• Carry On: Carry permitted cargo onto and off the wagon, or place a carried passenger on a cargo stool. Interactions follow your Carry On key binding and pickup rules.
• Touhou Little Maid: Give maids the Wagon Companion or Wagon Passenger task so they find a suitable seat. Maids can use straw mats during their sleep schedule. Maid photos, soul spell items and cameras follow their original release and capture rules.
• Sable: Wagon movement and passenger boarding account for Sable's physical structures.

Supported vanilla-style modded chests and barrels can also serve as interactive cargo, including BetterEnd barrels using BCLib. Support depends on how each container stores and exposes its contents.

Requirements and settings

GeckoLib is required. The integrations above are optional.

Server owners can adjust cargo rules, driving speeds, cargo-related acceleration and handbook gifts in tm_wagon-server.toml.
