In my old world (made in 1.14) wandering traders don't spawn. I have been in the overworld playing, for many hours in multiple places (old chunks and new chunks) on the surface and no wandering trader is yet to spawn. When I have played on new worlds, the wandering trader spawns in fine, but it is only on my old world where I am yet to see it.
This is mostly important to gain the small drip leaf and the big drip leaf item.
Additionally (might be interesting) until 1.17.10 I didn't see any pillager patrols roaming around and coming to attack me. Similar again in old and new chunks, but this seems to be working again now. Not sure how much the spawning is related, but it seems to be quite similar.
The wandering trader bug also affects 1.17 and 1.17.2.
Thanks! 🙂

Comment from the previous comment, this seems to only be affecting old worlds created on the bedrock edition of the game. Old worlds previously created on Xbox 360 edition and Xbox one edition (these are what I have tested) seem to spawn the wandering trader fine.
Thank you for your report!
However, this issue has been closed as Invalid.
Old worlds are no longer supported as of version 1.18.0.

Might need to update the name of this, as going on a friends old superflat creative world, in older chunks wandering traders do in fact seem to spawn which is very interesting. Might just be an error within my own world? Be interesting to see if any one else is having wandering trader spawn issues
