How hard would it be to make a replica of the traveling merchant in minecraft here? Selling and buying a random assortment of items.

How is that different from what the traders do?

The traveling merchant randomly spawns next to you and has a very chaotic selection of items compared to a normal merchant.

the trader in MC has an increasing chance of spawning each day and spawns in close proximity of the player, after some time they just despawn.

the traders in VS look like they could travel in their carts but are stationary and persistent, more like villagers in MC, but other than the MC traders and villagers after death they just respawn, when their trades get updated.

 

I think it would be nice to have a way to move the respawn point of a trader, i mean technically you can move the trader into your base, but if anything kills the trader they'll respawn in their cart.

A way to implement such a wandering trader would be to randomise the trader more, for example the landclaims where their carts stay could just become fixpoints where traders spawn, and each time the trades get reset, cart and trader might change.
