RIP Minecraft Trading 

I love the idea of them giving players a way to get enchantments consistently so we don’t have to roll constantly, but this isn’t the way to do it, this is just tedious.

I think they’re trying to make villager trading for enchants more tedious so that enchantment tables or finding books from adventuring becomes the most viable and least tedious option. Honestly, I think that’s an admirable attempt, but enchantment tables would have to be made better in order to compensate.

My issue with this update is that it doesn't really encourage exploration as much as forces it upon players. ENCOURAGING players to explore would entail things like adding new setpieces and challenging structures to biomes (imagine large bandit camps in the forest filled with enemies and decent loot, or overrun cities in the plains where the last surviving villagers are hiding from the hundreds of zombies and zombified villagers which have taken the city), and adding visual/audio changes that make biomes look, sound, and feel more interesting (I mean, look at the birch forest Mojang baited us with versus the monotonous "50000 birch trees between 5 and 7 blocks tall" thing we have now). As it stands, what this change amounts to is "make a grindy system so players will be forced to grind all over the place so they can get enchants that make their grind elsewhere less tedious." It doesn't encourage players to make deeper, meaningful exploration of their world. Nobody is gonna stop and smell the roses, so to say, while trying to find that one rare biome for their trading hall. It just encourages them to try and cover as much distance as they can in as short a timeframe as possible to find all the biomes (assuming they don't just use chunkbase in the first place). There's also the issue of enchants being very lopsided in many cases. You've got chestplates which realistically cap at 3 or 4 enchants max (if you choose to run thorns), and you have boots which have like 6-7 enchants depending on thorns. The boot enchants also actively change how gameplay feels far more than the chestplate enchants. However, with these changes you end up with the possibility that you can't get that pair of perfect boots due to the anvil cap, and you then have to roll the dice on the enchantment table for the equipment instead which arguably makes the rng issue with enchanting even more pronounced. It's just this pattern I see with so many long-running games where the endgame is pushed back through making the same goals take more time and effort instead of giving players more potential goals to choose from and complete in the first place. It's diluting the experience in the same way a TV show can dilute itself if too many filler episodes are placed in a plot arc.

I feel like the biggest problem with the nerfed enchantment levels on the trades is that using the anvil to combine the enchantments is just all around broken. The amount of levels required and how that is calculated aside, the anvil will occasionally just decide that because adding an enchantment to a tool would be above a threshold in exp (i think 39, could be wrong though) you just don't get to do that at all. Unless anvils are also fixed the new trades are going to be absolute pain to deal with.

they should not have it be biome specific. instead I suggest they add lectern wood types so villagers will have different trades depending on what wood the lectern is made with.

Honestly they should spread them out between more villager types to make the others actually useful. For example the fletcher or butcher could have hunting related enchants and the smith could have tool related enchants.

unless they change the enchant combining system. you won't be able to get a perfect sword or boots (possibly other items as well) from villagers alone anymore. it'll be "too expensive to combine them all"

The only change in trading that I'm okay with is no double curing. It's a bit op.

One thing that's overlooked is that this is not confirmed a 1.20.2 feature, it's listed under the experimental features and Mojang are actively seeking feedback for this rebalance.

I had only heard about the double curing nerf and I think that is an unequivocally good change. However getting rid of randomized trades is going way overboard.

A neat way they could reinforce enchanting at an enchantment table would be if you put in an item, then a book, then the book has access to that item's current possible enchantments. It would make enchanting at a table less tedious because then you're not having to fight to get that enchantment to a book.

I’d say if what they’re trying to do is encourage exploration with this change. Then they should make books more common in loot chests (villages, treasure loot, outposts etc). Instead of forcing us to “explore”, encourage us to explore but just make it a bit harder to settle down if you get me

You will never, ever, see protection again while cycling through trades.

On one hand, this will be super convenient if you are looking for a specific enchantment. On the other hand, people (like myself) who prefer to collect the whole set are going to have our work cut out for us. A bit of a clarification question if anyone knows: Are the trades tied to the biome the villager is currently in, or the biome they were born in? i.e. Can any villager sell mending if they are leveled up in a swamp, or do they have to specifically be a swamp villager? Also, if the former is the case, can you get their first trades in one biome, and there last one in a different biome, or is their trade pool locked upon the first trade?

Sooo probably unpopular opinion but I like the idea of where their taking this. But the execution is a bit tedious. I’ve been find more lately that as a MC vet the game feels too easy and I run out of things to do in a new world pretty fast. Thus turning to mods to extend the world longevity. I like the changes with netherite making end game more challenging to achieve, but getting the perfect set of amour enchantments already takes so much time even with an xp grinder and even longer without, so I feel like this change needs some refinement

This COULD be good if they didn't have it on the biome system and found something else, the things you would need to do to bring specific types of each villager to one place if you wish to make a classic trading hall would be just a pain and tedious because jungles and swamps, they are kinda rare and often times can spawn up to a 1500 blocks apart meaning I would have to either move a villager 1000 something blocks or take it through the nether which is just a pain, not to mention you would have to build like 6 different breeders just to get protection, sharpness, mending, and silk touch villagers. Rather than just making your existing mechanics to get enchants with villagers more tedious and annoying, why not just buff the other method being the enchant table. If people go out of their way to make whole trading halls and villager breeders just so they can have enchants make it so your other way of getting enchants is actually viable, for example perhaps make it so it doesn't take as much exp to level up or make it so the e-table has mending, it doesn't take levels, or just make it useable beyond getting a basic fortune pickaxe because thats what 90% of all players use it for.

My main gripe with this change is the impact it'll have on the enchantment table, at least in the way I use it. I like to get at least two enchantments from the table on my gear beforehand before I max it with books. This saves on the cost of getting certain books from villagers. It's tedious, but with a good experience farm, is generally worth the effort for me. The issue is that now, it'll become much more necessary to use to avoid enchantments getting to expensive with the anvil. Normally, I would say it's a good thing to incorporate an underused block into progression, but I don't think this is the way to do it. People will just be resetting over and over for only prot 4, unbreaking 3, and efficiency 5. It just feels like an extra annoying obstacle to getting maxed gear, and it's not nearly as interesting as collecting villagers from all the different biomes. Unfortunately, I can't think of any good solution for this specific problem. I don't even know how much of a problem it'll end up being, since we might just all get used to it. Thoughts, anyone?

I like this it makes you explore your world do things in different biomes and is more effort than just breaking and placing a lectern till u get max gear.

For the wandering traders, they should add these as things they can sell: - ⁠Maps to villages in specific biomes - ⁠Various armor with different trims already applied - ⁠A new armor trim exclusive to wandering traders - ⁠Maps to ancient cities - ⁠Maps to trail ruins

The problem I see is that I feel like the goal is to get players to explore. But between anvil limitations, the apparent lack of Protection enchantments, and the muckery of setting up Swamp villager trading, I feel like it's pushing more towards "just don't use librarians." Which is fine for nerfing librarians, sure, but doesn't do good for getting people out of the proverbial house. They'll just drag a cleric in from any random village and pound an enchanting table with one hand while the other swings a fishing rod.

This is interesting. I always found getting enchantments through librarians to be way overpowered to the point of being an exploit because of the way you can manipulate them. There is a good split between people liking and disliking this change. Of those that dislike it, a good number dislike what I see as the patching of the exploit. I think this is overall a good thing. They are improving villagers and trading. I’m sure the first set of changes will be jenky and will likely require balancing. Because I don’t get to play all the time, I still max out my gear through enchanting and it can take a while. The exception, of course, is getting mending from a librarian. This change will actually make it easier for me to reliably max out my gear. It just may take some legwork depending on what I need. (And there will probably come a time where I’ll try to collect librarians just for the fun of it- even if you balance things, some of us will still do questionable things just for the heck of it.)

feel like the consensus is pretty consistent. the idea that you can guarantee certain trades dependent on biome is not a bad idea but the biggest problem that's always been with villager trading is that villagers are the biggest pain in the ass to move. if they're gonna do this and make villager trading this much more tedius they could at least make it in any way easier to move villagers from place to place. also never getting the max level enchant is just annoying and unrewarding especially for the time it takes to upgrade a villager to max level. really hoping they rework this before release.

Okay so I really like the idea only having certain enchantments show up at certain biomes because it's less random. The two things I don't like are locking the best enchantments behind the master level and having to transfer villagers to biomes where villages don't exist in order to get certain enchancements.

As much I kinda dislike that they're nerfing enchantment trades for Librarians, I do appreciate the fact that a.) They're making the Wandering Trader more useful, b.)They have removed the 30 XP level limit on combining multiple enchantments with tools, armor, weapons and other enchantments, c.) They increased the quantity of Diamond Ore when exploring Deepslate Caves and d.) They have devised a way to consistently get the most desired enchantments based on biomes (Mending, Fortune, Unbreaking, etc.) This may be a hard pill to swallow for Minecraft players out there, especially for veterans, but it's a welcome change that they're rebalancing Librarians. Also, the XP level limit might just be a bug in the experimental snapshots, but keeping my fingers crossed that they'll actually remove the limit for anvils

I love the change to wandering traders, but if they're gonna go through with these villager changes, they've gotta add jungle and swamp villages

So what happens if you already have a trading hall with those specific enchantments. Does it pretty much delete all your enchants and restart the villager from scratch or do you think you keep them just applies to any future villagers you would trade with ?

I think part of the point of this is to make it to where villagers can no longer make the enchantment table a worthless mechanic. Before, you wouldn't need to build one at all if you got a librarian farm setup early. You'd only need an anvil.

I've always kinda hoped that villager nerf would be more like a diminishing return type thing. Like specifically for the curing it would be like: (none of these numbers are exact they are just examples) first cure: 1/2 off second cure: 1/4 off third cure: 1/8 off this would make it where, if you really wanted the 1 emerald trade you could get it but it would probably be an end game project and it would make getting it for more than one villager into a much harder process. Now while this was mainly an idea for the curing I think I could also see it working with enchant books. Higher level books are a LOT rarer, it's a simple idea but I think it would solve the problem of villagers being over powered at least for early game progression. That said I love the fact that they are trying to nerf it but I dont think nerfing the villagers the way they are and to that degree is a smart option now that this type of villager trading is ingrained in most players play style, there needs to be a way where late game players can still get villagers that are worth it to them side note: dont want to argue just wanted to share my thoughts

I think its good that they nerf villager trading considering it just makes the enchant table useless but this seems like a terrible solution to it lol A better way would to just remove book cycling and add more chances for the villager to sell books or make the books lower level enchants, making it cost a lot more

This is such a horrible change in my opinion. The only way I see this change as ok, is when enchanting gets an overhaul as well. We need some control over what enchantments we are putting on our tools. In my opinion, enchanting is a quick and easy way to get some random enchantments, a trading hall takes a lot of time to build, but gives you full control over what you get. Another option would be to be able to disenchant tools and somehow get the enchantments on the tools on a book

Hopefully they go back on this change. I can’t imagine having to cart around villagers to dozens of biomes just to get a specific set of enchantments that I want to use consistently.

I personally think the idea here is good, my issue with it is that the thing setting what the villagers give you is biome, it makes getting certain trades a huge pain, which is, I suppose, what the devs intended. Some worlds you just don’t have certain biomes within thousands of blocks, which makes it, not necessarily harder to get these villagers, it’ll just take a ton longer and be more annoying

Mending is way too important of an enchment to lock behind a max level swamp villager. You'd need to find a village and a swamp, breed a villager in a swamp biome, make them a librarian, max out their level, and even then it's going to be a very expensive trade. That is way too complicated for something so essential and damn near impossible to get from any other method. If they were to remove a step by making swamp villages real, that would be understandable, but even then, it wouldn't be fun.

Villager breading and trading is such a grind but it has the biggest payoff and now that's gone. I really hope Mojang isn't going to keep this permanently.

I was about to start on a librarian hall in my new world. I am SO glad that I saw this video. Thanks!!!! I won't be updating to 1.20.2 until I get it fully established.

Why can’t they just make the villagers more environmentally aware kind of like enchantment tables. So if you wanted all the enchants at a high level you would need to make a grand library around the lectern. Or say you wanted better gear from a smith you would have to make a decent sized smithy with each anvil separated out and on top of different ore blocks around their table. Heck maybe the amount of same type villagers with a certain spaced out area increases what they can all do together, maybe even making one of them the grand librarian or smith.

I’ve been playing 1.20.1 modded recently. I think I’m gonna stay on 1.20.1 until they take this change back. I think I’ll try backing up my world and then getting every villager I want (I already have quite a few, better safe than sorry tho) and then converting over said world to 1.20.2 just to see what happens. Will they keep their trades? I definitely hope so. If not, looks like 1.20.1 is the final version I’ll play for a while. edit: I wanna clarify that by “modded” I mean lightweight QoL mods like Appleskin and Enchantment Transfer, no mods that actually add blocks or anything

If they want to do this change, they need to change how Anvils work because not only you have to go and drag villagers around, breed them in specific biomes but also make it impossible for your anvil to even combine those enchantments in the first place because "too expensive* nonsense comes in.

One thing I don’t see people talking about all that much is how there is now more information needed to play this game. Gotta remember a whole trading table and for new players or those out the loop they just won’t know how villagers work

Really cool of Mojank to see people having fun and decide stopping it is more important than anything else. Just like with the fishing update.

The changes to librarian trades sucks, but I can see the Wandering Trader changes make him exponentially more useful in challenge runs.

I bet there is going to be a Mod out there that rolls this villager change back and it's going to be essential to all mod packs moving forward lol.

I love having to grind emeralds, get hero of the village, and then going to a specific biome to get efficiency 3. Super cool that I need 4 of them to make one max tool. Really neat how they haven't changed the level39 anvil mechanic or enchanting at all. Awesome. Mojang is headed in the complete wrong direction with this.

If they wanna make enchantment table to be the main source of enchantments. Then i certainly think they should improve upon the enchanting system and not have it be a RNGfest, aswell as changing the exp altogether so it isnt based on making huge mob farms or making furnace arrays. But rather, let it be something u gather over time as you do different things. Like exploration, building, tending to animals/crops etc. Variation is key. I have mixed opinions regarding this snapshot. Yes, this eliminates SOOO much time you wasted on cycling through RNG trades. Where it could take you minutes to find specific enchants, or it could take hours. And if you were picky about prices, then that also adds to how long it would take. But i also dont agree with this change, i would rather have villagers give limited amount of max/higher level books, than to give unlimited amount of low level books. Unfortunately, people would just breed new villagers to get around this. Which just goes to show that there would have to be restrictions that u cant get around in survival mode.

Seeing as XP requirement increases exponentially the more you combine something in an anvil, this will make getting max equip near impossible unless you're lucky with enchanting.

If they go through with this, I really hope (probably in vain) that it doesn’t revert existing villagers already leveled up

I think this is much more assuring when trying to get enchantments. It doesn't take long to get them to master level.

I feel like if you go through the effort of maxing out a villager you should at least get a max level book from it. I think it should be the initial trades that can't have max level books instead. Edit: Dang I was just putting my two cents out there, wasn't expecting this much attention 😅 I guess maxing out a villager isn't all that hard, but it would become a bit harder now that you need villagers from specific biomes. Also, although villagers won't be able to get you max level prot, sharp, etc., there won't be any rng anymore, so now it's a proper trade off between villagers and enchantment tables rather than villagers being the obvious choice. I still think they're nerfing a little too much, but the change is growing on me now.

I like the idea of having set enchantments based on biome, it encourages players to explore more villages. but the fact that there are two sets tied to biomes without villages kinda ruins that. hopefully this means we're going to get jungle and swamp villages soon? also hoping they get rid of the level cap on combining enchanted items

Hopefully this nerf is necessary because theyre planning a massive End Update that will make enchantments easier to comeby. Probably wishful thinking, but making enchanting harder early game does make sense if they want to make the new End feel worthwhile exploring

On the one hand I hate that the best/easiest way to obtain every enchantment is to abuse the villager trading system, I also hate the way they went about solving it. Hopefully they can find a better alternative; removing double curing helps

My only real issue with the change tbh is the fact the some of these biomes are rarer than others. Of they were all as common as plain that would be better. I like that it further insensitivises exploration, and the evil lil' coloniser in me is gonna have some fun with this.

I’m in the middle on this trading change. On the one hand, I like that there’s a way to guarantee certain enchantments, cause I hated the RNG factor trying to get a specific book. On the other, I’m not a fan of the prospect of having to transport a villager hundreds or thousands of blocks to and from a biome just to see that specific trade.

Mojang has this thing where that try to nerf things by making them more annoying to get it’s you didn’t make it harder/challenging to get you just made it tedious

I think they should only do the master trade being predetermined. That would make it easier to get a single trade you want without completely destroying the trading system.

As someone who likes being overpowered or having overpowered things, I don't like that I can't get Mending on the first trade for one emerald anymore because of the one-time curing discount. I also don't want to transport a villager all the way to a swamp biome and fully level it up just to get a guaranteed Mending book that again only gets discounted once.

I kinda like it, requires you to move between villages, establish trading routes.

I'd like an update that adds more structures to minecraft. Doesn't have to be villages, mayhaps abandoned villages, or like a solo village that setup a house somewhere, idk id just like more reasons to not setup shop in one particular area.

I like the idea, but maybe instead of locking the high tier books behind specific biomes, you have to gamble the librarians to max level and hope you get the one you want?

Dude... getting the best possible armor already takes ages as is. Why is it that Mojang with every new update, they feel the urge to make this already giant game even more time consuming...

The recent villager change could also have a negative impact on survival PvP servers or players who heavily rely on making a large amount of enchanted gear. With the increased difficulty in accessing villagers, it becomes more challenging to gather essential enchantments for competitive gameplay or for crafting powerful gear. This could potentially shift the balance of the game and affect players who enjoy the survival PvP aspect or those who heavily invest in obtaining enchanted items for various in-game activities.

I hope this doesn't affect pre-existing villagers that have already locked in their trades since I worked hard getting the enchantments I currently have with my villagers. I don't think it will affect it tho...

Well, * pulls out flint and steel * it was nice while it lasted. I am not dragging multiple villagers miles into a swamp biome just for an enchanted book. edit: OK fine I might still use villagers at rank 1 assuming I can still get a fletcher to buy sticks and trade me large numbers of arrows, that's still a good non-sweaty use of villagers. Too little too late though, the village is already on fire.

I'm personally fine with this change as long as they add naturally spawned Jungle and swamp villages and make it so combining books uses fewer levels

fortune, mending, and silk touch are the only enchant that i think it would be relatively understandable to do this with. even that i think would be annoying, but i think its unnacceptable for something like unbreaking and sharpness

So now people are forced to use giant minecart tracks to bring librarians from every corner of the world back to a centralized location. They better make minecarts better/faster alongside this, otherwise this is going to be very upsetting

I'd be fine with this change if you were guaranteed max level books after enough trading, similar to the level system already in place for them, they'd increase the level of books (as well as maybe the price)since it's not difficult to get the books and combine them in bulk, just takes longer now. They're taking an already annoying and OP process and making it just more annoying but still just as OP, this nerf isn't really a nerf more of an obstacle, lengthening the already monotonous task of setting up villagers. I mean hell I still used enchantment tables to get me good enough gear for the dragon fight, I'd maybe get mending and unbreaking before hand but that was it and I'd only have mending and unbreaking for the elytra, and only well into late game get round to perfecting gear

If you can find the biome this is kinda nice, less cycling to get the enchant you want.

Are the enchantments dependent on the location or on the type (clothes) of the librarian? If the latter you could move librarians around to a trading hall, maybe even breed them with a 50% rate I think)

I always thought villager farming was a weird thing to incentivize so heavily, so the nervs seem approproate to me. But maybe they can find a compromise. Balancing will never be perfect for everyhing, but in the end it's just meant to be fun I guess.

In my opinion, this is actually a pretty cool change. It makes the player go to different biomes for different enchantments and the lore expands and now you don't have to be in P A I N to cure a villager like 12 TIMES IN A ROW. It's also nice that villagers aren't that *buff* anymore so now getting enchanted armor is actually a little harder which is nice.

Villager farming had been one of my favorite things to do since they reworked it. This takes all of the wind out of my sails, so bummed.

They didnt make the game harder they made it tedious, its not a "THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE" feeling. Its an "ugh" feeling

this means that its difficult to make trading halls now with a variety of books. However, idk if this could work or not, but if villagers dont change from (e.g.) a jungle villager to a plains villager when transported to the nether, then trading halls still could work since they would keep their trades. but, this wouldnt work in early game since early trading halls in the nether arent too feesable

I feel like if you go through the effort to get villagers from different biomes in the unlockable trades like protection you should be able to get max level of luck unstead of getting rid if that chance

This is a good change cuz now the game takes longer and enchantment tables have a use now

I think this is a good change. Villagers were way too OP. But I’d like to see a separate way to get villager trades down ridiculously low. Something to replace the cure cycling system we had. One that rewards the player for being kind to the villager. Maybe just a marginal increase in an entire village for spending more time in the village boundary. Maybe for defeating a raid. Maybe for killing zombies that are near villagers. Maybe for filling out a villagers inventory with food. And have a cap on how much these decrease the trade by so that to get down to 1 emerald trades like before you have to do all of them. And maybe make it so you get Eff 4 and Sharp 4 instead of 3. Just 1 down from max instead of 2.

So basically they only made the game more tedious, not harder. I feel Mojang needs a lessen in design.

Wow what a game changer! Guess the enchantment table gets more use! Did they increase the amount of enchantments you can put on stuff as well? Because if you have to combine 2 prot III Books and then apply it on your boots, that already have a lot of enchantments, won't it say too expensive?

I think trading should get a massive overhaul in general. The current way where pretty much every new world you actually want to play in basically should have a villager farm with mending, unbreaking and eff 5 before even thinking about starting anything else does kinda suck. I think they should especially limit the most used and op enchantments and instead have higher chances to e.g. find mending books only in more advanced structures like bastions or end fortresses. Right now this just seems like pushing you to trade even more, but if takes a bit of RNG out and instead requires master level I think that's a positive, as long as it isn't rng mixed with pushing to master level :D Generally speaking this seems to go in the right direction, but I think they should still make great enchantments something you achieve through exploration rather than cycling or leveling villagers by likely smacking down trees and crafting loads of sticks to farm emeralds. Maybe you should no longer get emeralds but rather a villager based kinda "debt", so if you sell loads of sticks to a hunter he will sell you loads of stuff, but if you want to buy loads of books from a librarian you have to at least trade them paper or if you want armor and tools you have to first trade with those guys as well.

Thank you for the information, not sure how to feel about this, but I feel like my villagers are gonna live in the nether from now on.

giving people a reason to create villager outposts in different biomes is such a big biome buff

Villager Trading Halls are gonna be a MASSIVE pain to build now.

I hope this means we'll get swamp/jungle villages, that'd be pretty cool

Not only do they basically hide the best enchantments behind a "paywall" cuz you have max out the villagers with emeralds, but they also make it so you have to explore every single stupid bio to go get those villagers and then take him to your house with a boat. I like exploring my map as much as the next guy, but when I'm forced to do it just so I can get one or more villagers back to my base, just for them to die or glitch out of the world from an glitch, or maybe even a lightning strike or a baby zombie, then you can see that this is a stupidest update. You don't even get the best enchanted you get. Yes to combine the two or three books an anvil to even get the best level. Or seen exploring upon your players, and then adding more steps is not how you make the game fun. It kind of worked with netherite, it did not work with villagers

I understand why they need to nerf the villagers but they need more tweaking and testing before releasing this.

I hope my current trading hall will be ok. I don't hate this, it will increase how many villages you look for to make a trading hall. It makes each village more unique other than just their blocks. This definitely makes it way more of a pain, but I'm sure it won't be that hard and might even be fun too. It is lame how a complete trading hall won't have all possible trades

I dont hate it, I personally like the challenge. Just like with the netherrite template. But.... the only way they would make this fair is by giving us lower demands for the other trades. Such as: Paper for Emeralds

Btw billagers have 5 different verables to trading, trading, major and minor happiness and major and minor argerness. Curing a villager will affect both happiness levels but the minor one goes away eventually.

Most of this makes sense but I really wish they would at least have the max protection, efficiency etc enchants be possible to get, like master villagers could sell Efficiency 3-5

I really hope this change doesn’t go through. It really hurts average players who are trying to enjoy the game. It’s already a tedious process to get your ideal gear, and this would make that process annoyingly tedious. An average person can’t play the game for multiple hours at a time, so this would make tedious gameplay last for days and even weeks. This change fixes no problems that they think are in place. Players with hours of time will still have the best gear, it forces RNG to finding the biomes you need, and the drive for exploration is not there as it will result in nether portal travel systems to get the trades you want. It is an unimaginative way of increasing “exploration” and puts a speed bump in the road of “power scaling”. Unless you are an average person and it makes it so tedious that you might not even want to play the game. I wish the updates would look at adding to the game, not trying to make it a grinding, annoying, tedious, and un enjoyable experience.

I love when games break things that aren’t broken

Does the villager need to be in the biome while upgrading to get the trade, or we can get a desert villager into a plains biome and get protection upon level up?

not gonna lie I think this is really cool, makes getting maxed out gear a bit harder alongside with the changes on how u obtain netherrite stuff in the previous update. It also adds value to a biome like the swamp

I swear, minecraft's updates just get more and more infuriating.

No this genuinely makes me so mad. I know mojang isn't shy of busting existing game mechanics, but this just completey destroying dozens of people's playstyle and farms. I really hope they wont go through with it.

This is gonna make hardcore minecraft much harder, it was so easy to just get max enchantments in a few hours but thats not happening anymore

Do we know how these changes will affect bedrock? Cuz it has different mechanics for how villagers work, and different enchantments available (off the top of my head, there's no sweeping edge on bedrock cuz there's no combat cooldown and swords don't do AOE damage)

I think this is their way of forcing players to stop making massive trading halls in their base. Now they want people to make more than 1 trading hall to get the players moving.

i love how jordan in this video looks like he's back from fighting with mojang and is a broken man as a result of fighting them and is slowly going crazy in his room
