World Actual Traveling Merchant In Most Major Cities +42

Y'now the Traveling merchants is Detlas? Well... believe it or not they don't sell ANYTHING! It's about time we fix that.
My idea is Improved Traveling merchants, and to explain it further I must reference clash royale (sorry)
In clash royale, they have shops, but they also have an "Epic Sunday", every Sunday they sell 3 extra epics.
Why not have something like that in wynn? (And Gavel) in all major cities would be a stall were every so often a Traveling merchant would arrive, selling varied items, such as :
Weapons, mostly rare and uniques, but every once in a blue moon a legendary.
Potions and stat potions at slightly cheaper prices
A set of armor titled "Expensive Clothing", but only selling one piece per visit.
Mechanics (with thanks to meric):
I'll admit it, I have almost no idea what to put here, so for now I will use meric's idea of systematically creating and deleting travelling merchants with different trades, instead of editing a villager constantly! Thanks meric!
Etc...
Any suggestions or constructive criticisms? Plz share!
Sorry, in my title I had previously put only the supporters, not the ones against, so for the record

game code doesn't allow temporary merchants

 

command blocking allows mobs to take paths

 

NPC, not a mob

 

they are the same thing.

 

no theyre not. One has an AI, the other has a GUI

 

Can't the chest the merchant is bound to still work, even if the NPC is able to wander around? Can it not sync up with the merchant?

 

both of them have AI.
calling it an NPC doesnt change anything. the coding does. Technically a creeper is an NPC bc you can't play as it

 

I dont think the chest system is for tradables, just quests and other NPCs

 

chests are used for merchants

 

I know, but a merchant has no AI. You cant deny that

________________________________

oh, ok

 

But of course the GMs in all their power could create a merchant with both an AI and a GUI, right?

 

Or they could just push the map every once n a while to have them.

 

Yeah I agree. If it's not an hourly/daily event, they could just add a new map that is identical except for the addition of a single character, then change the map back in a day or so, and repeat this process every once in a while. Maybe not every week, but once in a month with a patch.

 

I believe that'd be really cumbersome and impractical, as one mod once outlined somewhere I've forgotten.

 

Bump +ten char

 

Yes, I can. An entity without AI is imcapable of any movement, the merchants still move their head.

 

they do?

Im pretty sure thats just basic minecraft code

 

Just make like 20 Merchants. Systematically delete and show merchants across the map. That should be easier than moving npcs

________________________________

Also he means this. Entities have a possible No AI tag which makes them incapable of AI. The fact that their heads move means that they can have AI added due to the fact that no AI tag is not applied

 

It's basic minecraft code, yes. But basic minecraft code gives villagers AI.
