Wandering Traders Car Warranty

Wandering Traders now try to reach you for you Car Extended Warranty

Wandering traders selling car insurance

When a wandering trader spawns, he no longer wanders in from somewhere off in the trees — he appears directly behind you, turns to face you, and whispers, just to you, about your car's extended warranty.

Everything else about him is completely vanilla: same trades, same llamas, same despawn timer.

What actually happens

The trader is placed a couple of blocks behind you, facing you. If there is nowhere safe to stand back there, he stays where vanilla put him instead of clipping into a wall.
A moment later the pitch plays — only for you, and out of the trader himself, so it moves with him as he walks off.
He keeps his usual villager mumbling to himself while he's talking.
Each trader only calls once, and remembers that across reloads. But wait about fifteen seconds and walk back over to him, and he'll try you one more time.

Config

config/codxlib.carsextendedwarranty.json, written on first launch. Turn either half off and keep the other, or just make him quieter.
