Wilderness Caravan

Adds dynamic merchant caravans that travel between villages across the overworld. Protect the caravan from raiding parties to earn reputation and unlock better trades.

How it works

• A caravan spawns near a village with a leader and two llama pack animals, then travels along a route to a second village
• A boss bar tracks the caravan leader's health along the way
• Every ~60 seconds an ambush party of pillagers and vindicators raids the caravan, announced to all players
• Kill raiders near the caravan to earn reputation
• If the leader dies, the caravan is lost — the loss is announced to the server
• When the caravan reaches its destination it stays for a few minutes so players can trade with it

Reputation and trades

Reputation is saved per player and rises as you defend caravans. Three reputation tiers (0 / 50 / 150) unlock better trade offers, from bread and emeralds up to diamonds, netherite scrap and golden apples.

Right-click the caravan leader to open the trade menu.

Commands

Leader health, wave interval, raider types, reputation values, trade offers and route settings are all configurable. Verified on Minecraft 1.21.11, 26.2 and 26.3.
