Xayllernste – How Bad are Villagers in Minecraft 1.20.2?

In update 1.2.2 Mojang introduced a controversial villager rebalance they Nerf Librarians they Nerf armor and then they buff cartographers to be more than just useless glass eaters but here’s the twist according to this commenter Mojang only made these changes after they saw my Manning video yes a multi-million dollar game

Company listened to a 50k subscriber nobody’s video about why they shouldn’t Nerf mending and then they Nerf mending anyways and and also it’s my fault somehow so if these changes turn out to be really bad I apparently have to be full responsibility let’s make sure that

Doesn’t happen Okay so make a new world what should we name it capitalism and then enable villager tra balance sorry I completely forgot bundles existed but that’s a video for another time so first things first we need to find a jungle for wood bamboo and Sugarcane huh I guess we found it next we need to find a Village wow really why didn’t I have this luck in my hardcour so the game plan is simple grow a bamboo Farm to trade sticks with Fletchers trade for clerical Redstone and make an iron farm then with those emeralds and iron trade the villagers that are actually relevant to this

Update all right so what has changed for librarians well first of all try crossbow enchantments are just gone but Trent and crossbow enjoyers shouldn’t worry about it too much because clearly the curse enchantments were more important and also different types of villagers Now set different types of enchantments for example the pl villager

Would sell punch Smite and ban of OTS and self protection to you once you’ve traded with him all the way up to Master Level I don’t I don’t mean to sound like a Boer but back in my day we’d have mening by now and be moving on to bigger

Projects but with this rebalancing I guess our next goal is to instead level up our librarian up to Master Level and that means having to stock up heavily on sticks and iron for Emerald trades so all right as the stick’s done and iron’s also done which Rings me to this updates are the

Controversial change get used to me saying the word controversial I’m going to be saying that a lot curing a zombie villager now only gives you a discount once which honestly this one was well deserved let’s be real here and besides the second way to get discounts yeah

Sometimes you have to oh man these discounts are pathetic sometimes you have to convince them to give you discounts through my violent means ah are you seeing the patterns with these traits yet don’t see it well let me Enlighten you Mojang is trying to take power away from the Early Trades

And then adding better trades at later levels they are locking the best enchantments behind Master Librarians and adding this Immaculate iron block tra for master armorers they want to reward you for mastering a villager and they’re also trying to reward you for exploring the world and finding other

Types of villagers emphasis on trying man Mojang is just like me for real I tried so hard to succeed but I keep failing it’s like they always say you can’t spell zerance we a few L’s thankfully I started to get a few W’s I managed to get this coger to sell me a

Savannah Village map upon hitting Apprentice levels I then got a second craer to see if they will provide me maps to other Villages and they did providing me a new map towards the tiger Village so then try to get a third craer to see if they will give me even more

Maps but this one just gave me the same tiger and so Venom Maps they then suffered a tragic death from hyper xemia hyper meaning High X meaning X and emia meaning presence in blood High X presence in blood what a tragedy a life cut so short by natural

Causes hit the like button to pay your respects one like equals one respect paid for the hyper acemia victim rest in pie now that we’re in a much better spot in terms of financials for Minecraft it’s time for the most controversial part of these changes the good news is

That we have the emeralds to buy the Enchantment books we need the bad news is all the enchantments we need are locked behind certain biomes so I guess it’s time to create a villager breeder in the jungle this was where my enthusiasm for the update started to

Dwindle you see having two villagers in a different biome doesn’t guarantee a baby villager off dead by because for some inexplicable reason Java Edition applies a 50/50 chance for babies to en inherit the biome typing of their parents so that means a 50% chance of getting a jungle villager baby or

Another Plains villager baby this child will later die from hyperx hyper meaning is genuinely frustrating to see these two villagers in a jungle create plain villager after Plains villager oh my God there’s a lot of things that I’m mixed about with this update but having more RNG into the trading process is

Something I completely against I was so unhappy if this changes I sacrifice a parrot out of frustration if Mojang is watching this I want them to keep in mind I will drive the parrots to the brink of Extinction if you do not remove this 50/50 chance your choice Mojang let

Me know how much you hate parents finally desert village map right fine by me pack your backs my friends we’re going to the desert next any liberians liberians why does this Village have so many fishermen how the do you fish in the desert when there’s no water oh finally

Thorn hyper meaning I know we’re on the topic of villager trading and everything but can we take a minute to talk about how beautiful the desert village design is like look at the librarian one this is really cool okay except the Cartographer what the hell is this

Design this barely even counts as a house I would renovate the house but I’m too broke right now which is why I am once again asking for your help you can help support the channel by donating to Super tanks huge thanks to aliot z and d kill for this week’s super tanks okay

What map are we going to have next the planes well I guess we’re going home after all of this I was starting to see what they were trying to go with here Mojang knows that players still want enchantments like mending protection Etc so they trying to n villager trading in

A way that encourages you to explore they want you to explore the world to find these other villages to get enchantments you want basically they want you to make a Minecraft European Union but without the good stuff from the European Union let me explain later in my play testing I explored the tiger

Village foxes now come back let me love you as well as the Savannah Village later on the final map that I received was a jungle temple map and no matter how hard I tried I couldn’t get the cartographers to sell me a s map thankfully the Savannah Village was

Right next to a mangr swamp and so mending was finally received 11 hours into the play test something that I could have gotten 1 hour into the game in the current version but that wasn’t even the most frustrating part of this entire play test allow me to show you

The complete map I’ve made towards the end you might notice that the jungle temple is all the way over here completely isolated from the other Villages whereas the swamp h is nowhere to be found wait a minute something that I want you to realize is that 11 hours to get mending

Is with very lucky RNG I was considered lucky in this instance what I think happens is that Koga skip us every swamp that doesn’t have a witches son and Skip every jungle that doesn’t have a temple I was lucky enough to find the surena village right next to a swamp so after

Playing these changes for 12 hours I guess it’s time for a closing statement huh I think we can make it more dramatic closing statement so I understand that these changes earn final and Mojang could make adjustments but I don’t mean it in a good way when I say

Mojang is trying to solve this problem in the most Mojang way possible what do I mean by that well they have this really bad habit of putting Band-Aid changes rather than solving the actual problems themselves let’s start with the Librarians Mojang needs a reminder as the white bran are so highly prioritized

To begin with even in the video where I talk about mending I’ve mentioned that the problem isn’t how easy mending is to get through trading it’s the fact that the durability system and especially the Anvil repair system are both so terrible that it forces people to trade with

Librarians just to avoid these two mechanics and so far none of these changes fix this root issue you can’t just Nerf Librarians without addressing the main reason they Rose to popularity to begin with until people can reliably repair their tools without seeing the words too to expensive mending will

Always be in demand so homo has done this make Librarians 10 times more annoying to deal with without making them less important the annoying Leon cycling is still there but now you also have to trade with them up to master tier and on top of that you now also

Have to deal with the RNG of villager breeding I do see the reason why Mojang wants to Nerf librat I really do but in this case perhaps it’s better to buff things than to Nerf things we could instead buff X exploration and bring more players to explore which brings me

To the good stuff I like the changes to cartographers they’re the only ones I could confidently say are on the right track it’s fun to fill in the maps and see what El in the Uncharted spaces for like an hour I got bored after that but

Even with that aside there are still a lot of things that hold it back as you might guess jungles and swamps are the biggest sticking point I’m hoping that temples and Huts are just temporary placeholders otherwise I take everything nice I’ve sit back Mojang better add some way of transporting villagers

Across biomes whether that be through camels llamas horses Etc otherwise players just have to hope that there’s a village near a jungle or a village near a swamp or better yet they can always just add jungle and swamp Villages here I’ll even make some for them jungles can have a treehouse kind

Of design staircases fencing Windows ladders maybe even pet parrots jungles have so much potential in this update and they deserve better representation than a temple in the middle of nowhere and swamps can have the good or boring mangr style houses I don’t know I spent all my creativity on The jungko Villages

Sorry and if we’re going to be adding these two Villages could we also have a Cherry Village please please please Mojang if you’re watching this first of all hello the Cartographer has the right idea but could use some book The aror is whatever but as for the

Librarians there are plenty of ways to encourage exploration and this is not one of the ways we can do it if you make trading with Librarians for mending impossible then you will make AFK Fish Farms inevitable please rethink what you’re about to do if you’ve enjoyed me explaining my thoughts about these

Experimental changes then you’ll also enjoy the third episode of my hardcore series where I explain how Redstone works trust me Redstone isn’t as hard as you think it is give it a watch I’ll see you There
