Wandering Trader & Bastion Reference

Wandering Trader trades, Bastion Remnant variants and treasure room loot, and piglin bartering results.

Trade lists and loot tables reflect commonly-documented vanilla data — drop rates/weights are approximate, not exact percentages. The Wandering Trader tab covers the full "Ordinary trade" and "Special trade" sell-side pools (the trader sells these to you); it does not include the separate 6-item "purchase trades" pool (the trader buys these FROM you: Hay Bale, Water Bottle, Baked Potato, Milk Bucket, Water Bucket, Fermented Spider Eye). Each individual trader only offers 9 trades at once (2 purchase + 2 special + 5 ordinary), drawn randomly from these pools.
