Wandering traders selling car insurance

You know the call. Now it finds you in Minecraft.

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.

Requirements

• CodxLib — required, on both sides.
• Install this mod on the client as well as the server: the audio ships in the mod's own assets, so a vanilla client hears nothing.

Supported

Minecraft 1.20.1 → 26.2 on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge.

Config

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