​@@Spite_Firevillagers have been OP since 1.14, and that's something everyone knows. Being able to get protection 4, unbreaking 3, and mending for just 3 emeralds total is clearly something that wasn't meant to happen, and that completely demolished any sense of difficulty once you got a villager breeder. The reason why so many people like this snapshot was because it was an attempt at solving the issue, and for many it was a step in the right direction. Obviously it's still flawed, that's why it's on a snapshot and the Devs want to hear feedback on it, as they want to find a solution that is better balanced whilst still allowing knowledgeable players to take advantage of it.

please post that on the feedback page! mojang won't see it otherwise.

Agreed, although introducing completely new enchanting system would split the community even more than it is now. They need to opt for band-aid solutions and make small changes.

@@W00JDAnot really I challenge you to find someone who enjoys the enchanting system. The reason villager trading halls are so popular in the first place is because nobody wants to deal with the enchanting system

Exactly. They should also add max rank books to things like underwater ships and treasure chests etc, instead of nerfing villagers. It seems so obvious, like hello?

I'm a pretty casual player, so take this with a grain of salt, but I think the entire XP system should be reworked and scaled to the difficulty level the player selects. I fully admit that I'm a noob, that's why I play on easy. So why does it take the same amount of time to reach 30 levels as someone playing on hardcore? Am I missing something? Surely, sitting at an XP farm is the most boring part of this game. Brings the gameplay to a dead stop.

best comment down here. Totally agreed on all the line. Also, the enchantments binded to biomes makes absolutely no sense because it would imply the enchantments are useful in these specific biomes. I understand Fire Protection in the desert, or aqua affinity in the snow (to break ice from underwater).... but why Fortune in Taiga where there's absolutely nothing to use it on specifically ? Why respiration in a swamp where you only have water up to the knee ?? Why projectile protection in the jungle where the sheer amount of blocks everywhere already blocks 80% of the arrows you could get shot by ??? WHY THORNS IN THE DESERT !? ITS A DESERT, WHY DO YOU EXPECT PLANTS TO GROW HERE !? I'm sorry I got carried away. My point is, this makes absolutely no sense immesion-wise, and is just pure gameplay tweaking to make up for their past mistakes, slighting the game's consistency.

This doesn't even take into account getting a villager TO a jungle.

Very true, I'm not content creator, i play this game casually prob 2 or 3 times a week. Sometimes it already took so much time to just sort out my storage/inventory after an adventure, and instead of fixing an issue with storage/inventory, they came up with this dumb idea to make things more tedious/grindy. Like dude let me play the game and don't make me waste so much time on unnecessary grindy stuff...

Don't forget large biome worlds - if you play on that, you're pretty much screwed by this change.

by default bedrock and realms are set to large biome worlds, so this change specifically fucks over players who are used to that. Java worlds and private hosted worlds default to 5x5 mixed biomes unless changed by something like a modpack, so this change is still bad but about half as bad in Java as it is in Bedrock. It's almost like Microsoft WANTS Bedrock players to suffer, and yet most of the bedrock players I know still are adamant that Bedrock is better somehow lmao

The change is done so enchanting table is still used besides villagers because the villagers were too good, too easy. Just like fishing farming they constantly aim to destroy. It was the game design flaw existing since 1.14 they fixed in 1.20.2. You don't like that? Well, too bad.

@@LukiKruki But you don't get the point, people use villager trading because it's straightforward and less of a hassle than dealing with the old and weird enchanting system. I wouldn't have a problem with that if you could somehow get an enchant you need, somebody for example somewhere mentioned using blaze rod for fire aspect, fire resistence, etc. I wouldn't even mind if these direct enchants were more expensive, say like 5-6 levels. Also, I like to build a lot and need tools with mending for that, I am not gonna loose my netherite pickaxe just because I have to find a zombie villager in swamp biome, cure him, transport him and then trade with him to experience him. This is some mobile phone microtransaction grinding shit. Isn't Minecraft supposed to be played how you see fit? No one forces you to trade with villagers if you don't want to, you can use your enchanting table. But why am I *forced* not to use a system that's in the game for a while when the game is about freedom? If it is not intentional, why it took literally years to fix then? Besides, not everyone can afford to play the game 6 hours a day and getting mending for them might be much harder than for the Minecraft veterans.

​@@kegleo Creating multiple bases is a time-consuming task. For instance, if you leave your diamonds at base 1, you have to ride your horse there, and if you leave your wood supply at base 3, you have to go there to get it. Consolidating all your resources in one place allows you to focus on more important tasks. Moreover, each base requires its own biome and village, necessitating the setting up of the whole villager system at each biome. If you don't want to do this, you'll have to spend hours searching for enchantments, only to hit the roadblock of it being too expensive to add enchantments to your armor. Also, since it's a single player game, why should anyone care about someone exploiting it?

Goodpoint, maybe add something which reverts them when in those worlds. But in the whole I think it's a good Idea

@@johnwicked1132 or instead of making them outright exclusive to certain biomes, the chances for given enchants are raised or lowered. Example: in a swamp biome, you could be more likely to get mending than let's say, protection.

@@hey7514 but with the cumulative penalty for any work done on an anvil, it gets more and more expensive to repair, especially with a heavily-enchanted item. With something like a full-enchant helmet, there's a good chance you'll only be able to repair it once before it's too expensive.

@@elmok Yes, I do, you literally just disagreed with a person bringing up a valid point as to why this feature would ruin the survival for some servers.

So in every multiplayer survival world you will have a harder time if you chose the villager route. Though to be fair it's not like you will have a reasonable access to villagers in the first place, they get trapped by players anyways. I'm just salty about the whole change overall, really. Especially after seeing a few one block/skyblock survival series or reading through comments to see people playing flatworld complain about this.

Correction. They need to find several specific biomes, find and cure a zombie villager in or nearby those biomes, and make that villager a master librarian within that biome. Then they get yelled at with a "too expensive" message that should never have been added to them game due to it punishing players for their hard work and dedication. Edit: You only need to one villager because the enchantments you probably want are the master tier exclusive enchantments, which are always guaranteed. Because of this, there is no reason to reroll a villager for them. If you want the other enchantments specific to the biome, then you need to cure a second zombie villager and start breeding; but after that, rerolling their trades works normally other then being faster because there are less possible trades to cycle through.

And this bullshit is why I use console commands. Never listen to anyone who tells you to "not cheat" at Minecraft. This game isn't fair enough to warrant legitimate tactics.

​@@gradea1636so true, they are becoming just like Clash of Clans and their constant tweaking of player's gameplay to remove anything they think is "broken".

And just like Supercell, it's all about the money. More money for them, less fun for you.

I like this idea. The enchantment would still be random, but always the lowest level. And by trading you would unlock higher levels of that same enchantment. As all enchantments do not have 5 levels, some villagers would have different enchantments. Eg, if the villager has fire aspect and you unlocked fire aspect 2, it could then propose unbreaking which has 3 levels to fill up to the 5 trading levels. the enchantments combinations would be random as long as they add up to 5 total books (max 1 + max 4, or max 2 + max 3, or max 1 + max 1 + max 3... and so on) Alternative take : every book has a "learning difficulty" and would be binded to a specific villager level. So lv1 villager would only propose books with learning difficulty 1, then when they reach level 2 they start proposing difficulty 2 books etc... It would prevent players from rerolling villagers as Mojang intended while also bringing a sense of progression, and a guarantee of getting a good enchantment in the end whatsoever (who enjoys having a lv 5 villager with silk touch as the last trade, honestly). It makes less sense than the first idea because the books still seem pretty much random (they could give you Unbreaking 3 without proposing Unbreaking 2 before), but would be the closest fix to the system we currently have.

@@oxymore13 your alternative take would make it even harder to get good enchantments like protection and mending than they're trying to make it. at least with mojang's new system, you're guaranteed a mending book from swamp villagers. you don't have to trade a villager all the way up to master level, just to not get the book you're looking for. if they put all the good master level enchantments into one biome, you'd only have a 1/7 chance of getting mending after you already spent a bunch of emeralds.

i completely agree, and if a player is really unlucky, it could take them over 10k blocks to even try finding all of the biomes

it would be better it they made it so the number that grows on anvil usage not grow when combining books. Or even better, made another station for combining books. Why do you even use anvil to smash books together?

​@@Spite_Fire IMO it's a fair trade off considering mending basically means infinite tools and armor.

There really needs to be a way of finding biomes other than roaming aimlessly. The locate command is already a thing, so it wouldn't be exactly hard for Mojang it use that and the compass programming to introduce an item that can point the player toward the closest instance on a biome. Maybe an enchantment for the compass that causes it to point toward the closest instance of the biome associated with that enchantment? So a compass enchanted with "Swamp Seeker" would point to the closet swamp,"Jungle Seeker" would point to the closest Jungle, "Gravel Mountain Seeker" points to the closest gravel mountain; just have one for each biome, or at least for each biome that has a unique type of villager. Maybe you could even give the enchantment table a use by making it so that the enchantment never appears on enchanted books (which also stops enchanted books from being clogged with useless enchantments), forcing the player to enchant their compasses directly.

they seem to be taking the route of terraria where to get the most out of npcs you need to have them spread across biomes, but it doesn't quite work the same for minecraft where world generation is literally random and the closest biome you want can absolutely just generate like 30k blocks away

Yeah, I’d rather just cycle through them rather than having to find a swamp a thousand blocks away just to get mending. It also makes it so much harder to make villager trading halls because now you have to transport all the villagers from the biome that is presumably very far away

​​​@@awereliaAlso, terraria added "biome teleporters" aka pylons to facilitate this, which also doesn't work with minecraft because you can have multiple biomes and multiple villages, especially in multiplayer where you may want your villages to be private

@@abrasmageI guess you could argue nether travel is Minecraft’s alternative to pylons, and also villager trading arguably isn’t as vital to gameplay as trading with NPCs in terraria

@@alexsiemers7898 it's far more vital considering how much less focus minecraft has on combat and gear. in terraria, you can go the whole playthrough barely talking to your npcs, maybe you'll buy some bombs or the minishark, you'll talk to the merchant or arms dealer a lot if you're a ranger, but the only one you're definitely gonna interact with is the guide to throw it into lava, and it doesn't need to do anything except exist. in minecraft, if you want maxed out gear, which is a far lower bar than terraria and something every player will do long before stopping playing on a world if they play long-term, you HAVE to interact with villagers, bare minimum to get any mending books because fishing and dungeon loot is going to give you 1 if you're lucky also, pylons are still much better than nether travel being completely instant and easy to setup, especially since minecraft worlds are much larger and you generally travel slower

No one cares about your opinion, casual player.

I agree, Minecraft’s enchantment system is messy from years of things being tacked on, and I think it’s silly that villager trading has become so overpowered above… actually enchanting. I think having certain enchants such as soul speed or swift sneak which are not necessities but niceties are fine to be locked under certain conditions such as piglins and the deep dark, but as important as mending is I think it should have a consistent way to obtain other than villagers, although maybe not through straight enchanting as that seems kinda powerful. I like the chiseled bookshelf idea as randomness is one of the worst things about enchanting. My idea would be for tools to have a maximum of three enchants, one special enchant e.g. infinity, flame, swift sneak, depth strider, etc. which add a new ability to your armour, then another two regular enchants for things like sharpness, protection or unbreaking. Then use the smithing table or anvil in some way to be able to upgrade tools later to have more enchantment slots until you can work your way up to insanely overpowered tools. Mending could then be obtainable through regular enchanting, but only when you’ve unlocked the slot for it on your tools, so it feels like an achievement still. This way Minecraft could have stronger progression beyond just going from iron to diamond/netherite and immediately putting a bunch of enchants on it, without locking you out of stuff early on. Like you can still get any enchant you want but you can’t use them all together until lategame. Under this system I’d also make it so enchants are able to be guaranteed and not just random from the table, or like you said use something like chiseled bookshelves to make them more likely so that the further you progress the less random it becomes, as well as abolishing the dreaded ‘Too Expensive’ from the anvil. Take random chance and tedium out of the equation and tie things more to progression. However this idea goes beyond just minor tweaks and is a whole overhaul which I’m sure has plenty of oversites as I’m just writing it out on a whim, so I doubt it’s very realistic to ever happen, but I think an overhaul to make enchantment less about tediously re-enchanting things until you can actually get something good and instead just requiring you to do more to get to endgame stuff would be stellar.

this is a really good idea

Well, you still can mine Sculk (deep dark xp) with Silk Touch, and get xp later; and generate new sculk via sculk catalyst … at the same xp farm (or in other cities, but it's unrenewable)

Rememeber when you had to spend all 30 levels per enchantment? Yeah, I'm fine with just having to get into my mob grinder for 10 seconds for 3 levels

Maybe they should add more comfortable method to move mobs

@@Spite_Fire That's just 1.250 blocks through the nether. Sure, annoying, but for mending it's worth it. In exchange you have _guaranteed_ mending and don't need to replace the workstation three thousand times.

@@friedrichrubinstein2346mending is fine, but cba to do the same stuff for *unbreaking 2*..

How would you Enforce Difficulty In Acquiring?

I think their plan isn't to force you to move villagers but instead force you to make an outpost in each biome that has a few villagers you need. So one small trade hall in each biome

This looks like an interesting idea, although the fact that different enchantments max out at different levels makes things complicated.

@@blerst7066 if you balance it out so that max level is always sold by master librarians it could probably work

​@steelmanmc I could see that. But it wouldn't work for stuff with only one level. Because then you'd never know if it was a book trade or a no book villager. But for those you could make it were level 1 has a super expensive version and mastery has a way cheaper copy

Perhaps this could lead to Mending having tiers, we all know Mending is OP

This is a really good suggestion actually. I wholeheartedly agree.

Raid farms will now become mandatory... Unless they find a way to nerf that too

@@thwartificer If they nerf stacking raid farms, I'm just gonna use a mod to revert the nerf

@@lightninng0 you could do the same for villagers

At this point just give us the pre-1.13 system and keep the biome-locked books.

but brew you can sell potatoes to wandering traders and build an iron farm to spam armorers and toolsmiths and weaponsmiths with iron, so the price is not even a big deal

Hold out an emerald and they'll follow you.

Or maybe they should just fix leads, trying transport any mob with a leash is still an absolute pain because you have to walk rather than run

@@PetBrickProductions ever tried leading a cow 3000 blocks via wheat? there's a reason leads were introduced.

@@StygianIkazuchi Yeah, not for that long though. It''s a pain.

Or they could simply add jungle and swamp villages

Look up MC stacker. You could theoretically make chain commands that "take away" a weapon and gives you back the same type of weapon with multiple enchantments and go beyond the normal level caps(looting 10 is fun) or you could just use the enchant command to enchant whatever is held and if you dont want it too OP you could make it chain and have it take away levels and emeralds. At that point you could just use the give command for each book you want. But again MCstacker is a great command building tool. I made a supercharged creeper riding a bee once... never again because the bee gets the creeper aggro so it follows you. Another thing to look up is nbtexplorer which allows you to "world edit" but theres also universal minecraft editor which has less capability but easy to use

And if you try combining books to max them out, the anvils “too expensive” will surely end your enchanting career

I assure you, we do not love it

You are making a LOT of assumptions about people liking this change.

I’m guessing that’s exactly why they made this change

@@Spite_Fire me too! I hope they never add this in a final update

There’s people out there that like this update?

Issue is, sometimes combining gets wacky. How do you calculate fusing a book with eff 5 unbreaking 2 to an unbreaking 2 pick?

Man, I hate when they also ruined the diamond at y13, it was so fun not having to dig through pseudo bedrock for hours, and they just """balanced""" to ruin our fun

@@johnwicked1132 so? you think I'd want them to keep ores the same while changing the world height? That's a reasonable change considering the circumstances. Nothing was changed/implemented to warrant the trade changes, so it is unreasonable.

​@@johnwicked1132 How is that similar to this case? With the change of the world height obviously the ore generation would be lowered, with this however, it makes you wonder why they even bother doing it

Also hey the caves are at least more intresting now to go through, unless you only strip mined and never mine in the caves themselves i guess

Their "increasing exploration" is terrible. If they really want to incentivize exploration, they should add new biomes and structures that have exclusive items, but instead, they're just making existing features much, much more tedious.

I loved armor trims because they encourage exploration without forcing it. This forces hours of exploration unless you want to deal with not having Mending, which has become a necessity nowadays.

How irrelevant? It makes the trading halls ever more important to have them. It's harder, yeah, but also more important.

@@LukiKruki No. They are harder to make *and* less good even once made.

​@@lightninng0literally they already added the exploration. I have never seen a trail ruin or made a brush yet! And I'm actually excited to come across those things while exploring my world one day

Yeah, and now since you have to combine books to get max level enchants, the anvil is always gonna say "too expensive"

That is a great idea

But then you run into the issue of trading halls getting too big when a single villager should have been doing double duty, now, if the trade repeats at higher villager level I 100% agree that should be of higher level as you described

I agree, especially because you'll end up with very large trade halls where each villager usually only has 1 good book and a bunch of useless trades. Maybe 2 books if you get very lucky. This way, you'd get 3 or 4. With the horrendous exponential-cost-system for combining books, any book that isn't max level isn't worth having. That's the real thing that needs to go on the chopping block.

I really like this idea

No because it would be devastating for small, competitive multiplayer servers who need a world border for performance optimization and data saving.

this is genuis

This is geunis

This is genius

Maybe they’ll add those villages in 1.21

So you want to keep the advantAges of the old system and add the advantages of the new system ? That's nor very balanced, it should be har to do because it's op

Their goal is exactly to make you do more work for the beloved mending than for simple protection

they probably avoided the jungle due to generation problems, tho I don't see why they didn't make swamp villages

I'm playing on a limited worldborder smp and this will make mending impossible to get

They used to be such good devs now all they care about is restricting our ability to play the game with fun ,every update while making excuses about how they can't add "x" Because it doesn't make sense in a game where gravity doesn't exist for most blocks

This is why I play modded 1.16.5 and then use backport mods for new content. Minecraft pretty much jumped the shark in 1.19.

Yes they destroy they're own game with ugly NERFS!

Superflat isn't meant to be played on survival, thus changes to survival don't take superflat into account. This creates a challenge where lots of stuff is locked out on superflat which is why 99% of people play superflat survival. This change will just add to the challenge, so the survival superflat community should just deal with it, and those in said community who can't deal with it should just leave the community.

​@@FusionCyborg No.

@@FusionCyborg no people play on superflat cause of the extra difficulty to get stuff like diamond armour

I've been sticking with 1.20.0 so that I don't have to wait for all my my mods to update after every release, but this will most definitely be keeping me there until I finish a trading hall with practical villager trade mechanics. First it was the censorship, now it's villagers...

it's like they want to make less money or something

I think the idea is you have to grind for it now

@@Craeonkie ...Pretty boring.

N.U.T.s aren’t hard to find

​@@EmperorPenguin1217No, but having to find them and craft more with diamonds just makes netherite even less worth it.

​@@witherschatthe netherite change is good because it was very easy to upgrade from diamond.

@@michaelperez6811 And barely worth it even before the nerf. Honestly, I'm all for the new way of obtaining if you give netherite a small buff in stats.

If they were going to do that though, we'd need a way to see what the max book is beforehand. I don't want to waste my time and resources maxing out a villager only to end up with Luck of the Sea 3.
