It would be nice if piglins had a rare chance of bartering a nether explorer map that guides you to a nether fortress

[@spritemon98]

Perfect

[@hellothere2808]

And maybe they should change the fortress spawn rates to double on bedrock to match java, whilst they're at it.

[@archie2038]

They still cant make maps work in the Nether, so firstly this then that.

[@klbzplb]

That actually seems perfect omg

[@JoelRipke]

[@phiyaless]

As some people have pointed out, the biggest problem with the librarian changes still hasn’t been fixed. Even at master level, many of the enchantments aren’t sold at their highest level, meaning you’ll need to do more anvil combinations to get the best gear. Due to the anvil limit, this may make it impossible to get all the enchantments you want.

[@lomiification]

Should you get all the enchantments you want at the same time? Eg protection + blast protection + projectile protection + blast protection + fire protection ? Mending + infinity ?

[@Jokie155]

Protection types are already mutually exclusive, so that's a redundant point. And as so many others have pointed out, it's Mojang putting arbitrary restrictions on a sandbox game to curb the minority that play for maximum optimization, and everyone is feeling the consequences.

[@pawew4331]

If you're smart about the order you can still get maxed gear

[@hhff8534]

These are still experimental. They've addressed the problem with finding the biomes, they may change librarians too

[@turidrowned]

@@Jokie155saying everyone is feeling the consequences is ridiculous. The only people that are feeling it were the ones cheesing it in the first place. Unless you mean server owners now not having to worry about people having infinite god armor in the first 5 hours of the server starting.

[@ShortManRob]

Biggest issues: -Librarians' weaker trades create an even bigger need for anvil rework -Finding the biomes wasn't the main issue. The distance from the nearest biome can be over 10,000 blocks away. Without an elytra with ample fireworks and/or nether travel, that's an insane distance to travel alone. Now on top of that you have to transport villagers, who can't be lead or lured.

[@megafirebird22]

You can lure them, but it's stupidly annoying. Place workstation breadcrumbs during the day and beds during the night. In between, you're basicly doomed. They also apparently follow dropped items since they pick them up. But none of these options are as good as a lead.

[@LathosZan]

I can agree that using a lead to drag them around is really.... 😬 but they should definitely add some sort of "follow me" feature to them.

[@JamesOfEarth]

They should be led by emeralds.

[@WhatIsMyPorpoise]

Nobody’s gonna travel 10 000 blocks with villagers. You just have to travel the 800 blocks(pretty average distance) from the nearest village to your biome destination. Villagers at those kinds of distances are maybe 10 minutes of work if you know what you’re doing.

[@0269_m]

for readers this post in inaccurate if u know how minecraft works u don't have to travel 10000 blocks for a village+u will find like 10,20 villages while traveling 10k

[@TheRealWormbo]

The tricky thing about having the jungle and swamp maps point to structures is that those structures are far less common than the biomes themselves.

[@kaleidico]

Finally a reasonable criticism

[@octobsession3061]

But you can have the biome map from other biome is quite critical

[@isaacklein5546]

If Mojang is absolutely sure on this villager rework, they need to add some sort of structure that has at least two villagers into the swamp and jungle biomes. Almost like those igloos you can find. The cartographers could then sell you those maps to go and save their friends.

@@shill9516Try getting a village started up in a swamp or jungle with no villages within a 1000 block distance, then ask why

[@SergeantXray]

@@shill9516 good, now go get a bucket, create your portals and travel in the nether with your boat. Risk getting massacred by ghasts and pigling or get an epearl and travel on the nether roof with obsidian instead. While you’re doing that, I have my mending and unbreaking trades already. While after you unlock all the villagers, both methods don’t really pose a problem, but it’s the combining in the anvils that makes it bad. As of current, you need a minimum of 70 xp levels to fully enchant your boots!

[@SergeantXray]

@@shill9516As I said, it doesn’t matter much after you move the villagers together, but why make this change when there was no need to? The change for the villagers is pretty pointless, just adds extra steps to something already working. Additionally, if villagers trades no longer work outside of their respective biomes, it would be adding extra travel time to trade for a few enchantment books, which is even worse for if you would want to trade for, let’s say, a shulker box of quartz. What they should changed is the anvil system, which is pretty way too expensive to put on, especially for newer players who don’t know there’s an efficient method to combine enchants.

[@SergeantXray]

@@shill9516 you have a point with progression, but as I said, again, this change with villagers has one effect: Increases time needed to deal with them (when people already are annoyed with them) My primary concern is with the anvil itself, not the villagers. Especially since the new villagers aren’t going to give you the maximum enchants now

[@thomasfplm]

I like the cartographer change. But it doesn't completely solve the problem of the villagers from various biomes, because a big complain is about transporting them.

[@ClueCie]

That’s exactly what I think

[@ryan20028]

Kinda the point though. They want it to be hard.

[@noahatkins8087]

They’re forcing people to make outposts at each village practically

[@ClueCie]

[@theunknownonetuo2033]

I feel like this can still be confusing for the new/returning players, but being able to purchase maps to guide you through different biomes is definitely a massive change as you don't need to explore the world aimlessly, bloating the world size. Hopefully something could be done with the nether as well. Perhaps a rare lodestone-compass barter that could lead you to a fortress or a bastion. Anvil prices and mob transportation system are still a problem tho, hopefully they get addresses soon.

[@Blyfh]

Absolutely agree!

[@ElMexa203]

I agree, and with more reason for those players who are like "about Oliver" xd

[@mjm3091]

Now imagine if they actually added Villager Nether Outposts in the Nether, that give you some Nether Villagers. All the other biomes invade the normal world - but Villagers should be able to invade other places as well.

[@amogu_]

The biome exclusivity is kinda unintuitive for new players. Maybe not full villages, but perhaps a few villager-containing structures (similar to the igloo) in the jungle and swamp to at least show that those types of villagers exist? The maps definitely help though

[@theunknownonetuo2033]

@@amogu_ yeah, I'm still not convinced about Mojang's idea of forcing the players to build a village for the sake of those trades. I feel like a generated swamp/jungle village; while lazy and unoriginal, is enough and reasonable to be in the game.

[@crazytiger6]

Problem is that it’s not just a bunch of traveling, but if you want swamp and jungle villagers it’s traveling with villagers, which, as we all know, is incredibly tedious

[@duckified.]

zombie villagers that spawn in those biomes will become villagers of that biome. just cure a couple swamp zombie villagers, and you have an entire village set up in the swamp. you're probably gonna be curing villagers at some point anyway, so why not start with the first one in the village?

[@Gandhi_Physique]

@@duckified. I've never had a need to cure more than 2 villagers. Emeralds are so easy to get I don't even care about discounts. But yeah, if I had to I would just cure 2 and make a breeder.

[@CommissarChaotic]

[@ixisnyx6860]

Here's a better idea. Just get to releasing some villages for those places like the community has been asking for since the villager update. At least then the arbitrary tedium you've just slapped into the players face comes with something that they can actually get excited about.

[@rianthreeden]

What if the villages in those locations were incredibly rare like they were before the updates. Still encourages you to make your own village but there's still a chance there will already be one. @@ixisnyx6860

[@lukebeich]

I think the version with the curse of binding shouldn't cost diamond at all, making the deal more appealing. Alternatevely, they could even change the curse to curse of vanishing.

[@brickbot2.038]

I find the idea that the curse of vanishing armor secretly contains no diamonds, and it's all just an illusion, highly hilarious. XD

[@AavalosAndromeda]

I don't think selling it for zero diamonds is the best idea, cuz then you could just but it with emeralds and then grindstone it away, and you have your early game diamond armor. I do think one diamond per armor is good though

[@dikerdodleplays]

You can't grindstone away curses, they're permanent. Honestly this isn't a bad idea

[@SpiderKoloPL]

@@AavalosAndromeda Actually... Grindstone CAN'T remove curses. If you have a bunch of enchantments AND also curse put on equipment... only curse will remain on said equipment. The same happens if there was nothing but the curse. I believe so does regular combining in crafting... but I'm less sure about that one.

[@4203105]

I think it shouldn't cost diamonds at all in general. It's good as is. Top tier armour already costs 4 ancient debris and 7 diamonds. Not to mention that you need to find an upgrade temple to copy in the first place.

[@SolstaceWinters]

Just thought of an issue. These maps are looking for a structure... not a biome. For example, the swamp maps are looking for a Swamp Hut, not a Swamp. Meaning it could be overlooking significantly closer swamps as it scans for the closest Swamp Hut. Yeah you get a guaranteed Swamp from the map... but from your nearest town, you could have just gone north 500 blocks and ended up in a swamp... but their map sends you 3000 blocks south, and you'd never even know.

[@duckified.]

true... but the same can be said about ALL of the maps. village maps only point to VILLAGES, not the biomes they're located in. not every plains biome will have a plains village, not every desert biome will have a desert village, and so on. there's an even chance across all 7 maps, so at least it's balanced.

[@phoenix7015]

@@duckified. Yeah but those are for villages, and yk villages are actually useful. I'm pretty sure these maps are meant for finding those BIOMES, not specific structures like the Witch's hut. That hut is such a useless structure I can't imagine how anyone would want to find one. They should make it point to a biome instead, unless they somehow decide to rework the hut and maybe give it some interesting purpose or function, maybe like rare loot or something.

I feel these changes are pretty bad for more casual players. They wont know why their villagers are now selling cursed armor. They wont have Elytra to fly between villages in separate biomes or as much ability to build a network through the nether to connect them. I get that there are people who have completely broken Minecraft, and these changes seem to be made to weaken what they can do. But there are a lot of people who play Survival who have never killed the Dragon (or seen it), who dont spend all their time on wikis or youtube videos, and/or who are scared of a single death wiping away days of progress.

[@jack_grylls]

This. Minecraft is a sandbox, you're supposed to be able to exploit things if that's what you want to do.

[@kaiseayaandruis1597]

This! they are adressing a type of playstyle that only a small portion of the players have, it requires the kind of time and effort most people simply can't put in. It also seems to push one path(exporation heavy) that for a sandbox game just feels limiting and upsetting. Let players play how they want to play.

[@ryko3698]

I think this is a key point a lot of people are missing. I’d love an intuitive solution to reducing the randomness but increasing the time required to do it while not providing any alternative is not really a great idea. Spend hours fishing or spend hours wrangling villagers. I don’t have hours to do that stuff so my main solution is to just give up and cheat or stop playing. Cheating takes the fun away (imo) and I still want to play. Kind of a dilemma.

[@kaiseayaandruis1597]

@@ryko3698 yeah, seeing how much more random and tedious it is to get any good enchants makes me want to just cheat them so I can get to the part I really enjoy: building, which is a pain without good tools. I like sitting in one spot and building out, too much exploring and travelling to get the gear to make me started on that just makes me not want to play at all

[@josephb.1425]

Most players who play like that aren't building giant villager halls and breeders. Villagers take a lot of time to set up, and most people don't bother

[@KBroly]

Them updating Villagers would be a good time to provide added functionality to those tables they've left abandoned for so long. I also get the sense that changing around trade tables means they're going to be changing how many emeralds players can get from trades. They're probably going to have to increase the amount of emeralds generated by the world, otherwise the game's difficulty might be magnified substantially.

[@E_2the_mma]

I'd argue otherwise what will most likely happen is after people test out the new system people will revert to the old method for enchanting, building an xp farm (usually enderman farm in the end) a cow farm and a sugar cane farm for books and enchant books for the most part. The only exception being getting a swamp villager for mending books. Hell with grindstones you probably can just get rid of the farms for books and keep re-enchanting your items till you get what you want

[@josephschubert6561]

I think the fletching table is the only one that still needs functionality. Which is surprising because with glowing and tipped arrows, it's pretty intuitive to just add a streamlined UI for crafting those into the fletching table.

[@RyanEglitis]

The problem remains with this system that the swamp and jungle village enchantments are nearly undiscoverable in-game, since no villages exist naturally in those biomes. Also the fact that both the most important and second most important enchantments in the game require setting up said villages.

[@stratonikisporcia8630]

​@@stratonikisporcia8630they could also increase zombie villager spawns in those biomes as well

[@lima7132]

These latest changes feel like they're made to solve problems no one was ever complaining about. For the recipe book change, consider new players searching for "stone" and not finding glowstone, if they forget a couple of names the system becomes useless. The ender pearl change just breaks enderporters in some cases, so meh. I will say though, the new cartographer maps are great, now THAT would make sense to be biome specific (jungle villagers would know where jungle temples are, etc). Armorer changes are kinda bad. If you need diamonds either way, just grind a little more and craft it yourself. It's not like the enchantments will be any better than enchanting it yourself (Seriously, selling cursed armor? Who'd want that?). Not gonna lie, enchanted iron armor is cool for new players, iron block trade is neat but not at expert level, and the armor swap trade is interesting. They'll have to make enchanting and anvil systems A LOT better if this is ever meant to be default vanilla.

@@duckified. “Now all the time and effort I put into something becomes practically useless” Like you’re acting as if this is a timeless process.

We’re just forcing more item to be non renewable for no reason. But you act like you’re doing something with that comment.

[@Zeldrake]

[@rellloom]

one of the things i like about minecraft is that it's non-linear. You could make it work for you in almost any conditions, and come up with interesting challenges to go through. The exploration would reward the players with miscellaneous things that you will not need but might want either way. I love the decorated pots. Sometimes you want just a few, and you have to go out of your way to get them. Increasingly, I feel like Mojang is trying to make the experience more linear, pre-defining the paths the player takes and cutting options for self-imposed restrictions, like the many variants of skyblock, nether skyblock, void worlds, superflat, etc. I feel like it's a bit of a one-trick pony, too. Once you've transported villagers thousands of blocks once, will the 2nd, 3rd, 4th time still be an exciting venture of exploring the minecraft world or.. will we be able to admit that not all players are interested in having to do so much [forced] exploration and will only treat these changes as a nuisance they have to go through before they can go ahead and build things more easily? In my honest opinion, Mojang should reward exploration with increasingly cooler but non-essential items. Chainmail is a good example, as are the decorated pots, but also just new QoL things that aren't just removed from the rest of the game that players are already used to. Enchantments, music discs, new sherds, a way to visually modify tools in some way to finally be able to tell apart a silk touch and a fortune 3 pickaxe.. there's a world of things they could do. The new maps are really cool too. The linearity is so avoidable by just.. not changing anything. The exploration aspect could be introduced by making less sweeping changes. At the very least, while making those changes, being delicate and careful about how they could shut off the current potential for non-standard gameplay. I simultaneously love and hate the idea of starting a new minecraft world with these changes. On one hand, I know i'd like the exploration and going to different locations and connecting them. On the other, I hate that I have to do it to complete the ever-lengthening 'do once, convenience yourself permanently' actions that I like to have done before taking on big projects. I would like to propose a terrible idea for perspective: imagine Mojang decides beacons are too convenient, and make the effect run out after 6 minecraft days, then the beacons have to be refuelled with a mineral to work. Maybe some players think having permanent regeneration is too broken, but you must also notice how the change would break so many minigames, indicators, and other things where players used beacon mechanics in clever ways. In a game committed to increasing the content so often, trying to make everything balanced will just turn the game into a never-ending list of chores that have to be done from digital sunrise to sunset. If the crucial things are left alone and the æsthetic things are balanced, then you let the player choose which direction they take based on their own preferences. The villager trading should be rebalanced of course, but in my opinion it should be to save players the trouble of resetting a single lectern 300 times, not to make them travel thousands of blocks for such a key part of survival since it will inevitably become just as mundane, if not more.

[@azeler7820]

So true! I really dislike Mojang's decisions to force exploration into the game and lock important features beyond thousands of blocks of distance, with this, or with netherite upgrade templates, for example. I don't like traveling in Minecraft. Sure it's nice to see the world around, but it's heavily restrained by the threat of losing all of your items hundreds of blocks away and having to either run back, possibly die again, and pray your items (that you spent hours getting) didn't despawn, or just start from scratch again.

[@BluemoonPlays]

glad i wasn't too lazy to read all this. I support everything this commenter says. When we got the new underground structure I was sad that it was so useless and there was nothing to actually make me explore it. On the other hand I was glad because getting enchantments + beacon + elytra + mending villager before you can actually start "playing" is already hard annoying enough

[@Totally_Bonkers]

i just want to say one thing about this. if they don't change or add anything, people complain about no updates. if they change or add anything, people complain about updates. imo, a lot of the time the minecraft community just seems like one that is always unhappy, and always wants more, always complaining about the game. i don't mean everyone though. (also not talking about you, because you make a good point) lastly, travelling thousands of blocks is kind of easier or at least better than rerolling 18 trillion times for an enchant

[@Totally_Bonkers]

im pretty sure since they're in unloaded chunks they don't despawn. or i'm wrong. if so, correct me please@@azeler7820

[@Totally_Bonkers]

i kinda dislike that enchants + beacon + elytra + mending is essential before many players consider it actual playing. if you think it's a hassle, go play creative. the survival bits are a huge point of the game. that's why i'm in support of these changes. also because i usually get bored quickly after getting good gear@@BluemoonPlays

Having certain enchantments in certain biomes at the very least means that there's less sifting through trades for hours on end. Not too keen on the forced lower levels of book, the fact the villagers are still just as difficult to move around, as of yet no rework to Anvil costs and multiple enchantments now being non-renewable.

[@catgirltreats]

I think if chainmail is becoming a biome-dependent reward as it were, it should have some functionality that makes it worth getting. I think it'd be cool if wearing chain mail gave you resistance to thorns-type damage, up to immunity like leather with powder snow. So thorns enchantments, cactus damage and guardian thorns could be mitigated. Having immunity to the thorns damage in a guardian farm would be HUGE for making them less annoying to use.

[@eduardobarreto5555]

Out of all things that would resist thorns chainmail is the least appropriate lol, even worse at it than leather. Chainmail has always been pretty much useless because iron armor is easier to get. Perhaps it could be crafted by replacing some of the ingots with nuggets to make it a cheap alternative to iron since I don't want to make chainmail make sense by making iron armor harder to get.

[@jamess.7811]

chain resists blunt force but is extremely weak to stab forces so this doesn't make sense but other than that is a good dies

[@charliezard64]

Chainmail should just be stronger than iron, or much more durable maybe

[@Blyfh]

I like this idea, although I don't see how it would make sense, if you think about how chain mail armor works irl. It is literally the most penetrable of all the armors, as it is not a solid plate of metal (excluding leather), rather a holey tunic. Why should it be immune to thorn damage then? Seems rather intuitive. I could be wrong though. I don't know shit about armory.

[@amaryllis0]

Maybe it could be weak to melee but strong against arrows - even though this is the opposite to how it should be in real life, it would give it a nice niche that would make you want to use it in some scenarios!

Great coverage! The only problem I have with this update is that I still don’t see the harm in getting max-level books from villagers. All this change is doing is making it more tedious to get simple, necessary enchantments like Efficiency. Two lucky rolls on the enchantment table will get you Efficiency V, yet it takes four expensive books from villagers to get the same enchantment. I think it’s a great idea for different biomes to yield different books! But the cost makes nothing worth it other than the swamp villager for Mending. That being said, I think everything is is spectacularly done. I can even get behind the more expensive diamond gear. Just give books more bang for their buck, Mojang!

[@lomiification]

Is there a need to get them? With Minecraft, increased costs are more of an inconvenience than anything, since most things have extremely fast farms

1:13 I think it would be better for that to be optional, because sometimes it might help you finding recipies you did not know existed, like, you could discover the recipie of the crossBOW when searching for the bow (for some time I thought you could only get crossbows by pillager drops, like the trident from drowned).

I strongly agree. This change might work for english, but other languages run into an issue. While in english you can type "stair" and it shows you all types of stairs. Do that in german ("Treppe") and nothing shows up, since words are usually connected ("stone stair" -> "Steintreppe").

I feel like there should be a way to strip the enchantment you want from an armor piece and turn it into the book form. Kind of like a grindstone.

[@duckified.]

at least they made it possible to remove curses! you can't do it normally with a grindstone, but with a taiga armorer, you can sell them a cursed armor piece and get a fresh armor piece with no curses in return.

[@Zeldrake]

it should absolutely be possible to take an item with an enchantment (possibly dropped by a random mob), give this to a special villager, convert it into a book, put that book into a chiselled bookshelf, and another villager will now sell you copies of that book

[@Notllamalord]

Mods do this well, it should cost a ton of levels. Empty book and then enchanted item in an anvil, and boom book with enchantments on it

[@SongsoftheWind]

As someone who always hesitates to tackle villager breeding/trading, I think these changes complicate them enough to discourage me from attempting the process. They seem interesting, but a lot of these villagers like Savannah armorers would go relatively unused if there was an alternative. It could be cool to see the curse of binding/vanishing on swamp villager trades as it could hint at the presence of witches in the swamps

[@benLXIX]

I think a fix for moving villagers to different biomes would be the ability to create caravans that you can lead to other places. This would be a pretty major change, but would make it easier to bring a group of villagers from place to place. You could even add a pillager type like a bandit which may try to attack your party as you go, to make sure that the caravan ability doesn't make villager transportation into a cake walk.

[@duckified.]

that seems perfect. i actually had this idea myself a while back, but what i'm having a hard time trying to figure out is how you'd go about putting a villager on a camel. would the villager snap onto the camel's back similar to how they mount boats and minecarts? maybe it only happens when you're pulling the camel with a lead?

These changes are terrible for small multiplayer servers that need to enforce a world border due to size, super flat, and single biome worlds.

Hopefully the next update adds something more to make exploring more enjoyable like new biomes or updates to current biomes that are boring like the mesa and desert. would love to see mesa villages

[@waveeyes]

Agreed. If they wanted to "encourage exploring" they should've added new biome exclusive trades, not remove old universal ones and make them exclusive. This could be either completely new items, having certain tools/armor have a chance for better enchantments based on biome or even just a discount on certain items. Removing existing options just feels bad (and it's even worse for single biome worlds like Superflat or Skyblock).

[@Turtledud3]

The entire problem of transporting villagers could be solved with a minecart update. Just let us tie minecarts together with leads so that you can use a furnace minecart or similar concept on them. This would allow for trains of carts to function properly intead of getting stuck in the corners and whatnot. Better furnace minecart systems could lessen the need for extensive powered rail setups. So cheaper overall cart systems means they can be more commonly used.

[@matthewmailly9977]

A lot of these ideas are nice, but I'm generally against slowing down the progression of the game and making the grind even longer. Balance is nice but this seems like it's going to slow things down too much. I'm more intuitive way of getting the enchant you want through an enchanting table would probably help

[@Totally_Bonkers]

i feel like the point is to make it less of a grind and instead make the good part of survival actually surviving, instead of just getting max gear in one day and treating it like creative after that. i mean, the average player is probably going to do the survival part, not the creative part (of survival). the only issue, is that their tactics of making it be fun instead of boring grinding isn't sitting well for many.

[@Grandpa1961]

I don't like all the villager changes. I don't want to have to drag a villager to a swamp or a forest just to get certain trades. If they want to add villages to those biomes then I wouldn't mind the change. They are trying to stop power players from being overpowered but they will just find a way around it, while the average player is left behind. The curing the villager multiple times I understand is a bit overpowered even tho I don't ever infect and cure my villagers so it won't affect me anyway. They seem to be basing their decisions around trying to limit the best players while forgetting about the other 95% of the player base.

[@SerKGrimm]

I agree wholeheartedly. It feels like they get their general feedback of the game from people who play it for a living, which is wildly biased. Average players don't have that kind of time.

[@MidnightAge]

This is exactly how I feel. I really, really dislike the villager changes and I sincerely hope they never go past experimental. It's overly complicated, its busy, and all I see this doing is making me spend more time investing in less value and making me alt-tab out more to remind myself what stupid enchant is where when I'm already annoyed about dying and losing my stuff and I'm trying to replace it. it slaughters any convenience. I had the exact same thought about the fishing changes prior, too. If you don't like AFK fishing, don't AFK fish. If you don't want to use the villagers because you think they're too strong... don't use the villagers. The systems already exist for people to create their own challenge levels. Forcing a nerf on something that the player base has used for several years just fine is just daft. Villagers don't need rebalancing. They're fine.

[@CoolDownMC1]

Ditto. If these changes aren't simply experimental, than I'll be finding some mods to bring back the 'old'/current trading system and villager mechanics. They are enough work and hassle already...

[@leochangesnames]

I feel like if they really buff villager transportation and rework anvils, this becomes a buff more than a nerf. Finally not having to cycle trades for hours would be amazing, that's what usually prevents me from starting new worlds.

[@MPnoir]

Exactly how i feel. Making a proper villager trading hall already is a long and tedious task so it doesn't really make sense to me to make it even longer and more tedious. I feel like this will prevent casual players even more to ever come in contact with end-game enchantments and gear.

[@veryblocky]

Since these changing villager mechanics are going to involve a lot more travelling around the world, I think they need to make mine carts a lot faster They’re already a far higher investment than any other form of transport, it’s easier to get an elytra than to build really long railways. And at the moment they’re just too slow to be useful.

[@Totally_Bonkers]

here's an idea. re-add the dispenser minecart, and also add the ability to dispensers to place stuff like rails and redstone components. not ONLY would this be very good for redstoners, but you could also make a train that places rails as it goes along (so you don't have to place them beforehand) edit: group this with minecart linking, so you could use furnace minecarts instead of needing to automate powered rail placement. boom. railway system!

that'd be really awesome. dispenser minecart to place pistons + buff furnace minecart to be like way faster than it is now (as fast as powered rails and maybe make those faster too) so that then you don't need powered rails on your auto-placed track. players who want powered rails can have the dispenser cart place full lines of powered rails if they have the gold, or pro redstoners can make machines that automatically alternate somehow. Of course, one issue with this auto-place is that it may get thwarted by terrain or have trouble turning. probably want the dispenser to automatically be able to place rails a block above or below so it doesn't get stopped by hills.

I think the new diamond cost for diamond armor is much more balanced from a game design point of view, but I hate it anyway because it makes diamond armor nonrenewable. Making farms and workflows that generate renewable resources is one of my favorite aspects of the game. I prefer to leave an area more productive than I found it, rather than stripping the land of its resources. I realize this goes against one of the core features of Minecraft (namely, mining). But shaping the world into a form that gives back to the player has always been one of the pillars of inspiration for me. This also gives me even more reason to stockpile the more useful current villagers for after this change gets implemented.

[@Eh.........]

I agree. If they want to make villagers and trades the worst feature of the game with the current pacing, they are succeeding. If they are nerfing one aspect on a large scale, they might as well make diamonds (emphasis on diamonds) a passive, renewable item

[@brickbot2.038]

Not saying I agree or disagree with your comment, I just wanted to say that diamonds armor is _technically_ renewable, because zombies and skeletons have a rare chance of spawning with it.

Mojang needs to stop mistaking the word challenging with the word tedious. These new changes are tedious. Beyond making villagers just require more steps. Adding the diamond requirement to armorers makes them effectively useless and creates a new issue of making diamond gear a finite resource. Something that is especially bad given the increased need for diamonds for other things in the game.

[@christofferoff]

Why is diamond being finite a bad thing? That's the premise of the entire game. Diamond is meant to be rare (not too rare, which is why they upped the amount you can find), but it has always meant to be an exciting thing to find. These changes are making diamonds fit into their role in the progression system in a far neater way.

@@christofferoff i think you misunderstood. im fine with diamonds being finite....but diamond gear im not. considering its a required element in order to get several items, ( obsidian, ancient debris ect). given that diamonds are being used more and more for other reasons (trim duplication for example) it makes it so the player has alot less to go arround and thus needs to spend significantly more time mining. like for instance the cost of a full set of netherite gear has already increased by 1.5x in the last few updates. this is not a challenge its just tedious

For the villagers I think the traveling around to get what you want is a cool idea, but after you find what you need you have to travel all the way back to get that same book. What would be cool is if you could “hire” the traveling merchant to escort your found villagers to either another village or a newly established area the player creates in a caravan. The villagers would arrive to that area riding the llamas so you’d be limited to two villager travelers at a time. This would still make it so the player would have to explore to find what they need, but then they could more easily consolidate what they have found into one place.

[@CrazyDlamond]

This is probably the most mojang solution to the problem, make the wandering trader have a more cohesive implementation with villages, and then make him interact with an important problem villagers have inherently. Now if only they implemented a way for you to signal where you want the wandering trader to go, perhaps maybe some sort of structure akin to the nether portal or enchanting table where you need all pieces for it to work fully. Maybe a tower to act as a trading post? It could even make wandering traders show up more often and in that area specifically 😊

[@amogu_]

The new changes are very welcome, but I'm still a bit worried about the librarian rebalances conflicting with the anvil limit. Mojang seems to not want to address that at all, which is strange because it feels like they want players to use the enchanting system more, but that's held back by the anvil as well. Honestly, the anvil limit should either be increased or removed, and repairing completely overhauled. It's a very old system that's remained pretty much unchanged for almost a decade and it desperately needs an update

Now you're really forced to go level up a swamp librarian for mending to avoid having to go out and get more diamonds to replace your armor. Much like with the enchanted book trade changes, my problem is not with the nerfs, it's with the QoL consequences, especially for late game players.

[@amaryllis0]

It's rockets that make Elytra so overpowered. The problem is that it's fun and people are used to the immense convenience, so it's hard to just remove them, but there's really no way to solve the problem without doing that. You can't just power-creep and buff everything else, or you get ridiculousness like horses and minecarts running mach speed My solution would be: remove Elytra-boosting rockets. Instead, you get updraft from flying over campfires, and larger groups of campfires (e.g. 1 vs 2x2 vs 3x3) would give you a bigger boost. This would let you quickly navigate around your base, but is gated by infrastructure: you can't use it to just fly over the world*, it's something you have to establish routes and networks for. And now you don't get horizontal boost, so you're limited to the speed you can gain by diving, which gives minecarts a niche as horizontal speed maximizers, and horses would have a niche for being usable without any setup at all! *Technically you could just plop down campfires, but this would be a constant resource drain, so it's probably somewhat balanced. Maybe you reduce the stack size of campfires (to say 16) to further disincentivize

[@mahirooyama9424]

[@stephenotterman6236]

they shouldn't nerf the elytra, they should just make other forms of transportation good in other ways, maybe make horses upgradable, maybe make it so that they can swim. Horses in real life can swim, with someone on their back, for a limited time. maybe even make them summonable like in red dead redemption. make it so you can have a special type of rail that makes minecarts go insanely fast, like a bullet train. everyone already loves boats, but maybe add some changes to them, maybe the ability to make larger boats, faster boats, and so on. Iceboat roads do make boats pretty great though donkeys, mules, striders, pigs, and camels can be reworked similarly to horses, though it would be more difficult with pigs and striders, they might have to do something different with them. though, nobody really uses them anyway..

[@eloquentornot]

I really like the additional maps, it makes sense that the villagers would point you towards other villages! I understand that they want to make people rely on villagers less, but paying diamonds for diamond gear is cutting off those players who would choose (or in superflat have no choice) to live among villagers instead of exploring the mines, this is a game where players should be able to do what they want, after all. At least they should let the cursed diamond gear be free, lol! Though that one wouldn't be quite as bad if they also introduce some way of removing curses, perhaps? Between that and the fact that a big complaint about the librarians not selling top level books is that they should really get rid of the "too expensive" limit on combining books anyway, I really hope these experimental changes don't actually become part of the game until there's some kind of magic update that overhauls enchanting, if players can't rely on the villagers as much, they should be able to control the enchanting table in some way so it's more reliable instead, I think! And a magic update could also tie in with those changes they want to make to potions, for each potion to have its own texture to be more visibly distinct!

Especially cuz if you get a swamp without a witch hut the map will guide you to one way further away.

[@thefinkie6459]

They're probably trying to encourage converting zombie villagers instead. Maybe increasing their spawn-rates in those biomes would be a good solution, because the whole concept of transporting villagers doesn't sit right with me anyway. It's not fun at all and it also draws very close comparisons to irl slavery.

[@optimisticboredom]

They’re trying to discourage villager transporting and encourage exploring those biomes. We might see the process of moving villagers get even harder in the future, but then again if you want iron or books either grind it out or travel those blocks. Just a boat, a bucket of water, and peaceful mode.

One complaint i have with the new villager system is its not as great for limited worlds like superflat. I think it would be good to keep things reasonably accessable to players with that playstyle. Even if they have to put in more of a grind or if they add alternatives based of distance from 0,0 simular to stringholds so there is still a exploration element.

Yeah I like to play superflat.

it should do one of three things (or multiple where it applies): 1. completely replace arrow tipping. maybe also make it slightly cheaper so it isn't just an unnecessary change that forces you to add another table to your base? 2. be an alternative to arrow tipping, but at a cheaper price (like grindstones) 3. arrows that aren't just tipped with flint? real?

One problem I see with the biome dependent villager book trades is not necessarily getting to those places, but *remembering* which village has which book type. I'm hoping Mojang institutes some type of notes feature maybe? Or some journal that will auto update when you get those trades? Some feature that would allow us to quickly check which village we need to go to in order to find the enchants we want in that moment. Furthermore, I'd love to see a new mechanic for getting villagers. My initial thought is something to do with the bell, where you could place it down, and everyday if you ring it, you've got like a 1% chance of recruiting a villager.

I like that they're adding new maps to the game. What I would love for them to add are pillager outpost maps dropped by pillager patrols, and the mansion map to be moved from a cartographer trade to being a rare pillager outpost chest loot. It would really map out (sorry for the pun) the illager progression. Also the diamond for armor trade is very interesting. So now it's not that you're buying diamond armor for mere emeralds but that you're getting a discount on what it costs to craft them. I find the armor for armor trade interesting as well. It'll be nice to have one of those guys around after an end raiding session because you never always get the armor type you need from raiding structures.

You like to grind. By making it more difficult, they're adding to the grind (if you want to get everything), which is the part of the game you like. I'm a little confused at what the issue is.

Many seem to disregard the new syncing of client options to servers, but it might actually be quite impactful. Primarily, it could potentially mean that client exploits, most commonly absurd Gamma levels (those manually modified in options.txt) will be detectable and now be a bannable offense on certain servers. On the contrary, it could also serve for useful warnings for players regarding recommended settings. For instance, an RPG server may push a warning message for clients using a large GUI scales, suggesting to lower it down for item lore readability, per se. Maybe a server can suggest reducing chunk rendering/graphics mode for performance, a certain keybind recommended for a server-bound action, etc. ...I might be wrong, though, as they do not state anywhere which options are being sent.

The recent changes to Data Packs are astronomical, and to me, I feel like it's becoming increasingly difficult and overwhelming to keep up with these new changes - let alone understand which methods are the most optimal for very specific scenarios and, of course, performance. I also find that adapting my server to incremental versions can be very frustrating. It can take upwards of several weeks to patch up critical dependencies to play along with Mojang's substantial technical changes, which are maintained by the Minecraft community, who have to overcome substantially bigger challenges than I do. Don't get me wrong - these data-driven changes are VERY welcome! I just don't believe it's the right choice to bundle in an incremental release, especially since the community has no clue of these change's roadmap...

No, Xisuma, you didn't understand correctly. The issue was never to find these biomes, it was that it will take an immensely long time and it practically makes it impossible for casual players to have something like villager trading at all, let alone building a trading hall. On our multiplayer server, the next desert was over 2000 blocks away. I've checked it on the seed map. That's a distance I don't want to travel every time just to get a few enchantments. Besides, the changes make it absolutely impossible to get the max enchantments. I couldn't be more angry about that. It is already such a grind to enchant your gear and instead of making this easier for players, they even add additional hurdles we need to tackle. These changes don't rebalance the system at all, they're just plainly bad. They should just let it be until they come up with a new and better idea to improve villager trading. No one has ever asked for these kinds of changes, everyone was just interested in changes that made it easier to trade with villagers (cycle faster through trades, better transportation options etc.). Currently, people are rewarded for their hard work of breeding and trading and curing villagers by getting good deals and discounts. After these changes, people will be rewarded to stupidly transporting villagers for over 2000 blocks after setting up multiple breeders because you'll need a specific biome type for your trades. No. No. No. Just no. I said it once and I'll say it agian: Most Minecraft players are playing casually and don't build crazy worlds like you Hermits.

This Trade Changes will kill the Skyblock Map as there is no way to get Diamond Armor and later probably no way to get Diamond Tools anymore.

If the workstation-less bed-less Villager has no experience points, he'll follow a player holding a bed and /any/ workstation, changing his profession to match the workstation the player is holding. To lure a nitwit, the player holds a bed in the offhand and a bell in the main hand. If villagers only look at held items, not "is a player", then armor stands could lure villagers :)

A little tinfoil hat theory, Mojang might also be making these changes due to something similar that Terraria did with it's 1.4 update. They might want people to spread out and have multiple villages instead of one direct location where you have every type of villager. Though in Terraria you have teleporters and stuff that let you quickly move to those other small villages you set up. Its just a little thing I've been thinking of as I love both games. (To make it clear, I'm not saying their doing this because of Terraria, my line of thinking is maybe they want players to spread out more instead of having everything in one location, because who in their right mind would put a mending villager in a swamp, and except you to get a 2 villagers there, and then transport them to your base a second time.)
