Goblin Traders in FTB Evolution 2

Goblin Traders is part of this pack at version 1.12.0, built for NeoForge (the jar is goblintraders-neoforge-26.1.2-1.12.0.jar). It has been in the pack since version 1.0.2 or earlier, so it is not a recent addition.^[1]

Unverified The sources here do not describe what Goblin Traders does in game. They also do not show a quest chapter, group or position for it in the pack's quest book, or any use of it on the ATM Star path. Check the mod in game for its features, and the quest book for any mention.

Goblin Traders adds trader characters to the pack: the Goblin Trader and the Vein Goblin Trader. Those names, plus their spawn eggs, are all the sources here confirm about getting started.^[2]

What the mod adds

• The Goblin Trader, a trader character with its own spawn egg: Goblin Trader Spawn Egg.^[2]
• The Vein Goblin Trader, a different trader character with its own spawn egg: Vein Goblin Trader Spawn Egg.^[2]
• Special items that the goblin has reengineered with enhanced attributes. Their lore text says exactly that.^[2]
• A mystery map whose lore reads "I wonder what structure this will lead to...".^[2]

The spawn eggs are the only items from this mod that I can name for you. The enhanced items and the mystery map appear in the mod's text, but the sources here do not show how you get them.^[2]

Unverified The sources here show no recipe, no quest and no config file for Goblin Traders in this pack. So what to make first, and in what order, is not confirmed here.

Goblin Traders has no machines, multiblocks, power or fluid systems that the sources here show. What it adds are the Goblin Trader and the Vein Goblin Trader, and the whole mod revolves around what they will trade you. This section covers how those trades are organised, what they drop, and how the Mystery Map works.^[2][3][4]

The traders

Each trader has its own spawn egg: Goblin Trader Spawn Egg and Vein Goblin Trader Spawn Egg. Their trade lists are separate, so what you can buy from the Goblin Trader is not on the Vein Goblin Trader's list, and the other way round.^[2][3][4]

Both traders sort their trades into rarity tiers: common, uncommon, rare, epic and legendary. The tiers are defined as trade tags in the mod's data. The sources here do not show the exact quantities or prices of each trade, only which trades sit in which tier.^{[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]}

Goblin Trader trades

• Common: apples for emerald, raw iron for iron ingots, raw gold for gold ingots, raw copper for copper ingots, rotten flesh for coal, gravel for flint, and cobblestone for emeralds. This tier is basic resources and ore smelting done for you.^[3]
• Uncommon: emerald for gunpowder, turtle egg for emeralds, pufferfish bucket for emeralds, emeralds for sponge, damaged or chipped anvils plus iron ingots for an anvil, clay for terracotta, leather and paper for books, and amethyst shards for emerald.^[8]
• Rare: emeralds for an experience bottle, a name tag, packed ice for blue ice, most vanilla music discs, a range of armor trim smithing templates, and a long list of pottery sherds (emeralds and brick for each sherd).^[7]
• Epic: goblin tuned chainmail armor and goblin tuned copper armor (emeralds and an iron ingot per piece), plus potions bought with a glass bottle and emeralds, such as night vision, invisibility, leaping, fire resistance, swiftness, water breathing, healing, regeneration, strength and slow falling.^[5]
• Legendary: moon boots (emeralds and apples), a mystery map, a goblin tuned elytra for emeralds, and goblin tuned pickaxe, axe, shovel, hoe and sword, each costing a nether star and a dragon head.^[6]

Vein Goblin Trader trades

• Common: carrots for emerald, glowstone for glowstone dust, netherrack for emerald, and emerald for nether wart.^[4]
• Uncommon: a netherite ingot for a totem of undying, ancient debris for netherite scrap, nether wart and nether brick for red nether bricks, a golden carrot for emeralds, and nether quartz ore for an experience bottle.^[12]
• Rare: golden carrots for a wither skeleton skull, diamonds for a netherite upgrade smithing template, emeralds for a rib armor trim template, and emeralds for the Pigstep, Lava Chicken, 5 and Tears music discs.^[11]
• Epic: harmful and unpleasant potions, bought with emeralds and a glass bottle: slowness, strong slowness, harming, strong harming, poison (including long and strong), weakness, wind charged, weaving, oozing and infested.^[9]
• Legendary: goblin tuned helmet, chestplate, leggings and boots, each costing a nether star and a dragon head.^[10]

The Goblin Trader covers overworld resources, potions and tools, while the Vein Goblin Trader covers Nether-flavoured goods, harmful potions and the goblin tuned armor. If you want a full goblin tuned set, you need to visit both traders: tools and elytra come from the Goblin Trader, and the armor from the Vein Goblin Trader.^[6][10]

The Mystery Map

The Goblin Trader's legendary tier includes a mystery map bought with emeralds. Its lore line reads: "I wonder what structure this will lead to...". The map can lead to a structure from the mod's mystery map tag: shipwrecks, ruined portals, villages, pillager outposts, swamp huts, igloos, jungle pyramids, ocean monuments, buried treasure, ancient cities, trail ruins and trial chambers.^[2][6][13]

Drops

Killing a Goblin Trader gives you Apple, and a Vein Goblin Trader gives Carrot. The amount is random and can be nothing, and Looting can add a little extra on top. You will not get much out of killing them, so the trades are the better reason to keep them alive.^[14][15]

Goblin Traders adds the Goblin Trader and the Vein Goblin Trader. Their trades are sorted into rarity tiers such as common, uncommon, epic and legendary. Here is what each tier offers, going by the trade lists in the mod's data files.^{[3][4][5][6][8][10]}

Goblin Trader: common

The common tier is simple resource swapping. The trades are named apples for emerald, raw iron for iron ingots, raw gold for gold ingots, raw copper for copper ingots, rotten flesh for coal, gravel for flint, and cobblestone for emeralds.^[3]

Goblin Trader: uncommon

Uncommon trades get more varied. You will find emerald for gunpowder, turtle egg for emeralds, pufferfish bucket for emeralds, emeralds for sponge, clay for terracotta, leather and paper for books, and amethyst shards for emerald. There are also anvil trades: a damaged anvil or a chipped anvil, plus iron ingots, for an anvil.^[8]

Goblin Trader: epic

Epic is where the goblin-tuned gear starts. Emeralds and an iron ingot are the named inputs for goblin-tuned chainmail armor (helmet, chestplate, leggings and boots) and for a matching goblin-tuned copper armor set.^[5]

The epic tier also sells potions, all named as a glass bottle and emeralds for the potion. The list covers night vision, invisibility, leaping, strong leaping, fire resistance, swiftness, strong swiftness, water breathing, healing, strong healing, regeneration, long regeneration, strong regeneration, strength, strong strength and slow falling.^[5]

Goblin Trader: legendary

The legendary tier is the top of the Goblin Trader's list. A nether star and a dragon head are the named inputs for a goblin-tuned pickaxe, axe, shovel, hoe and sword. Emeralds are named for a goblin-tuned elytra and for a mystery map, and emeralds and apples are named for moon boots.^[6]

The mod also ships a structure tag for mystery maps. It lists shipwrecks, ruined portals, villages, pillager outposts, swamp huts, igloos, jungle pyramids, ocean monuments, buried treasure, ancient cities, trail ruins and trial chambers.^[13]

Vein Goblin Trader

The Vein Goblin Trader has its own lists. Its common trades are carrots for emerald, glowstone for glowstone dust, netherrack for emerald, and emerald for nether wart.^[4]

At the top, its legendary tier sells a goblin-tuned helmet, chestplate, leggings and boots. Each piece is named as a nether star and a dragon head for that piece, so a full set is a big investment.^[10]

Unverified The sources here do not show the contents of the Goblin Trader's rare tier or the Vein Goblin Trader's uncommon, rare and epic tiers. Those lists live in the mod's villager_trade tag data files, so check them in game before planning around those tiers.
