The trader zone is, in effect, a land claim zone with infinite durability.

Your Land Claim dead zone in the settings is a value greater than 0; So there must be an amount of blocks between the edge of the trader zone, and the start of your zone to equal the dead zone value.

EG: A deadzone of 15 means there must be 15 blocks between the last unbreakable block of the trader, and the first block of your own claimed area.

I’m more hopeful that the trader protection can be reduced or eliminated, as it breaks the immersion of a 100% destructible world and is exploitable. But we agree that it could use improvement.

Yes, I've often wondered why it extends so far past the POI boundaries. I did open a bug report on this a while back, and I'm pretty sure it's being looked into.
