Did Minecraft Just Ruin Villagers?

So relatively recently Mojang began updating villagers for the very first time since Minecraft 1.14 Mojang’s latest round of villager updates does some pretty substantial things it removes some trades it adds some trades and changes some pretty gigantic game mechanics a little more specifically this buddy right here the librarian

Villager after this update these things may never be the same again now that we’ve had a little bit more time to mess with and test with these villager experiments today we set out to answer one simple question has Mojang ruined Minecraft villagers you let me know your

Take and as always down below erase that untapped like button let’s go so first things first of all is two things for today’s science experiments I have one not only put on my signs goggles but two decided to split this video into three separate parts and part number one we’ll

Be going over the basic mechanics and part number two we’ll be running through a semi survival test finally in part number three we’ll be concluding things and talking about what could potentially change to make them better if they need for chapter one of our Saga today it is

Best we go straight to the source it took us straight to the source for this one it’s gonna be over to Minecraft snapshot 23 w31a oh I never thought we would get so nostalgic so soon in the video Minecraft snapshot 23 w31a this is the very first snapshot for the

Minecraft 1.20.2 update it dropped right at the beginning of August and introduced all of this villager Madness ever since this snapshot things have never been the same inside of the experimental toggle and that’s because we got a brand new experiment right here if you want to check out any of these

Villager changes inside of your world first you need to turn this on another simple side note something to keep in mind today we’re running all these tests on Minecraft Java but they’re coming to Minecraft Bedrock Edition there’s the same experimental toggle and they’re actually exactly the

Same over on this version of the game the wandering Trader when it comes to our first chunk of changes I don’t think anybody’s really complaining the wandering Trader is allegedly potentially going to get way more useful the wandering Trader once this update drops if it drops it’ll actually be able

To like buy things from you the things that it buys are like pretty common basic things that you’ll be able to find the wandering Trader will also be able to sell you new things and for different prices too some of the prices have been lowered some of the trades are Brands

New here before I brief text based summer and all of the wandering Trader changes here it is pause the video right here villager milliger villager oh boy not to get too controversial so quickly here but the Villager changes the Villager changes are really the really big

Changes here you see Minecraft is a game and skipping a lot of essential details in between we eventually get to different biomes and villagers inside of different biomes we have different village types as of the recording of this video the only changes that are really happening here have to do with

One specific type of Village the wandering the wandering librarian yeah more specifically these changes change what a villager Cannon can’t sell when it comes to enchant after this change enchantments are biome locked Bernard with medic explanation of all of these villager changes here you go my friend

Go ahead and pause the video at some point couple points and read them up so that’s basically our what I should definitely say that I’m testing all of this stuff out as of the latest snapshot you never know a future Snapchat could adjust some of these things but at this

Point it’s starting to look a little bit unlikely moving on for this next part of the video the main part we move on to what I will call our semi survival experiments for this part of the video ads I will be making a brand new world with a 100

Random seat inside of experiments we’re gonna turn that one on and well I mean because I can do whatever I want we’ll turn this one on too these experiments and tests will be done in semi survival ah Brand’s new fresh Minecraft world that will never get over this feeling

It’s beautiful it’s gorgeous so much promise inside of this world now at this point I like to test the water and Trader which means now I stand around for one hour’s time one hour later Bingo Boingo that’s why we get to semi survival experiments the wandering Trader spawning in mechanics have not

Changed at all wait around inside of your world for a little bit of time and eventually the wandering Trader accompanied by two llamas and two precious leads will pop up then after that you can walk up to the wandering Trader and question it interrogate it as in like look at the trades wandering

Trader changes here like I said earlier on I don’t think I’ve seen one single complaint about any of these changes I mean sure look it’s a little bit early on in my world day Zero to expect to like do a little bit of bartering with the merchants here but I mean what would

Be the problem theoretically with being able to buy some cheap things from you and better more affordable prices I don’t think there is a single problem with the wandering Trader changes the baked potato is a pretty big one like this is a relatively easy thing to

Find and maybe even day one and start farming say I don’t know day five or however long it takes for the water and Trader to pop into your world that day rolls around and then all of a sudden it wants to maybe potentially buy some of

That food from you go ahead and just sell the food just a tiny bit all of a sudden you get an Amber because our trades could be random mix match to any time you could maybe have a useful trade to turn that Emerald into something even

Better or maybe you don’t maybe like say you’re lucky and you have a sapling right here well gather up a couple more emeralds and all of a sudden you got a brand new tree type at the least you can recycle it back and maybe get some like extra building supplies or something I

Will go as far to say that these proposed changes if introduced into the game will actually make the water and Trader like well actually useful pretty good even and so with that semi-survival experiment number one we’re gonna call it check done good the wandering Trader I don’t think there is any problem with

Any of the proposed changes in fact the changes should make into the game immediately all right so next up still inside of our semi-survival world the next step is going to be set out into the great blue and locate a village somewhere thankfully the greatly updated wonder

And Trader is helping me out with this process big time you see I don’t even need to chop down a single tree theoretically I could just wait around inside the world Farm potatoes and eventually start stocking up on wood so locating a village and specific biomes in Minecraft that’s something we’ve been

Talking all about inside of the Minecraft guide series for today’s semi-survival experiment we take the seed and leave of course of course if you want to check out any of these villager updates first we need to actually locate a village what I’ll do is I’ll put the seed inside

A chunk base right up there scroll down and look for the closest Village which looks like it’s gonna be from Spawn at least either a savannah Village right there or a Plains Village all the way across the ocean right there that one could be pretty close too of

Course one tiny bit of sailing later and chunk bases now let me down Village sweet beautiful Village you are mine when we move into the village we look around at what’s going on here in normal survival fashion I could maybe loot this whole crop farm and claim it as mine a

Normal survival fashion I could run around and look at the nitwits you fool you you you’re pointless your life is meaningless and last but not least most importantly for today we’ll get scour the entire Village in search of one single librarian villager which doesn’t look like there’s one here

So right here look this is why I call this a semi-survival experiment because let’s be honest oh this is awkward let’s be honest when it comes to our basic villager mechanics and survival and everything like that you kind of know how it goes like you explore in your world maybe you get a

Little bit more established eventually you locate a village to reroll this villagers profession over to the desired one it’s easy all we need to do is place a new workstation remove the old one after we place the new workstation we get to challenge number one and that’s gonna be re-rolling traits to start

Testing out these new mechanics the first thing I’d like to find out is how easy is it to actually see the new biome exclusive enchantments to quote the wonderful Miss spice like more specifically less how I was looking for a I don’t know the Smite enchantment or

Something if I was looking for Smite how hard is it to actually get that how I see it for this part of the experiment this is basically like testing the old villager mechanics and comparing them against the new ones this bar is going to be pretty much the same we place

Electron down we don’t get the trade we want so we place a different lectern then we break lectern number one hopefully you walk right over here uh-huh yes no oh yes maybe yeah you take the long way you walk over here and we check it again okay and just like that Smite five

That’s the best level that was really really easy all right well that was really really easy and to be honest I think that’s how the case is gonna go over the rest of the experiment if you’re looking for a specific enchantment as long as you know

The biome that you’re gonna be able to find that enchantment in I think finding that specific enchantment is going to be easier than ever before actually but look I play Minecraft I know usually you’re maybe not looking for like a Thorns Enchanted bulk or Bane of Arthropods or something but if you are

Looking for something more specific like let’s say depth Strider let’s say power let’s say infinity as long as you know the bio I think it’ll be easier if we think about how it is right now and want to talk about this specific number of Trades that a Plains librarian villager

Could offer like different enchantments that’s a pretty high number after these changes are introduced if you break out every single level of each enchantment into a different trade we have a total of 12 different possible trades here that’s way easier to re-roll through under these proposed new changes every

Single biomes villager has the same max level trait or like the same enchantment slide him back over to the Chart here this is gonna mean every single time we get a desert villager all the way up to a Max Level it’ll sell an efficiency 3 enchanted book for a random price so

Next up this is where that semi survival stuff comes into play again what I’d like to test here is how difficult is it to actually get that villager all the way up to the max level for a librarian villager I mean look I don’t even need a

Guess here I don’t even need to bet I have the experience getting this thing all the way up to a max level is relatively easy especially if you have all of the materials one of the easiest ways to level a librarian villager up is going to be a paper Farm they think is

So simple find some sugar cane inside of your world just like that plant it down maybe I don’t know get a little bit more spicy with things and make a fancy bar lining the entire Shore or something reroll your friend’s initial train a couple times until you see paper or

Something like it then from that point on it’s gonna be pretty easy to level this guy up look look I will be honest if you’re trying to speedrun demanding trade well that’s gonna be a whole lot more difficult now it’s gonna be way more tricky to actually like get a

Librarian villager level it all the way up to the max level to get mending but inside of a normal world if you’re not trying to rush things because all of the other villagers have been left unchanged it’s actually pretty straightforward depending on whatever you’re doing in

Your world maybe you got a spider farm pull like uh the fisherman villager into the mix here and get emeralds that way continue ranking up emeralds through all of your villagers just like you usually would until eventually you get a Max Level Village and that’s where I’m going to call it

For the second part of the experiment I fully realized we didn’t like hardcore tested extremely but to do that you’d have to have a more established World anyways I will say that this part of the experiment is left unchanged compared to how it is right now before these

Experimental changes this is left 100 unchanged nothing is different it’s not harder it’s not easier and that Legends brings us to leg number three of our experiment today oh boy the tricky one specifically mending how difficult is it going to be to get a mending villager

Going forward here so to get a Manning villager we’re gonna need the swamp villager specifically to get a swamp villager specifically because there are no Villages inside of the swamp pile we are going to need to get a couple villagers bring them over to the swamp and then have those villagers breed them

To have them breed up I mean it is relatively easy we get three beds a little bit of food throw them the food like that the love happened go ahead beautiful very quick and did I bother you maybe I messed it up aha you are the mother right there just like that no

Time at all we got a brand new beautiful baby villager but this is the plane smile and that villager is a Plains villager we need the swamp back over inside of this Village that I have not been tormenting and ransacking at all today we will go ahead and put a boat down

Then we’ll put a villager inside of it then we’ll jump in the boat now this next bar Lads is painful I mean I can’t complain too much I got lucky with a village next to an ocean but oh boy if you didn’t you’re in for a journey

Probably the best way to move villagers around right now in Minecraft It’s gotta be boats if you’re lucky like me you got a village next to an ocean well chef’s kiss is not gonna be too bad but if you don’t good luck we could expand on an even farther and say that nowadays

Minecraft 1.18 and up Rivers work better than ever too so if you have a village next to any kind of water maybe it won’t be too bad in semi survival from approximately where that Village is we need to find either the plain old classic swamp or we need to find the

Brand’s new refreshing to Mangrove swamp which both are going to be equidistant pretty far foreign Villages across land easy yeah it is not exactly the best word for it you see I guess at night time you could probably use bets like you could place a bet on

The land the Villager will walk over to the bed jump into the bed like that you could like break the bed and then you could move the bed a little bit farther something like this and then it should probably do it again nowadays the Villager pathfinding as long as you

Don’t go like too far away uh it’s like really not bad like it is definitely realistic to say you could use beds or maybe even workstations to move this guy across the lid the problem with moving the Villager at night time with beds is well nighttime though so not so fast

Buddy so beds and workstations I mean technically it would work but it’s not exactly a fire spicy option is like you’ve probably experienced it yourself but moving across the lane cutting through a forest you never know there’s a mob that pops out surprise blows up

Your villager or all of a sudden you got a lava pit that you fall into the lava and it’s not very good I see water like just out of sight but imagine having to move this villager all the way up this hill across the forest and over the

Water just to continue I’m still like like 300 blocks away from the closest swamp that took a lot thinking about maybe how I could make this slightly easier on myself here I guess if I explored a little bit beforehand and tried to like find a swamp biome nearby

Maybe like an Elijah from the sky or something and then locate an easy way I guess that could work but that’s a whole lot well I continue to sail a couple other options for moving villagers around I definitely have not forgotten mine cards but seriously let’s be honest

Am I Really Gonna build a minecart rail line over a hill and down a hill all to just move a villager a couple times that’s really expensive hey and also the nether I guess the nether could work but again it’s quite a bit of setup to actually move a villager through the

Nether one hour later finally at a long last after traveling through not one but two Minecraft days I have successfully moved one villager go over to this one after this little process is finished I would need to go all the way back over to the closest Village and repeat the whole

Process one more time you see if I want to make baby villager then I would need to bring two villagers over to this swamp biome a couple beds and a little bit of food after I’m successfully able to move these villagers over to the swap Mile and place some beds down and then

Throw them a little bit of food in theory as long as they’re actually in the right biome which I think technically they might even be in the wrong spot which would be terrible I have to move them in land a little bit more but as long as they’re in the right

Spot like this part is easy breeding check done not a problem but it’s the transportation if I don’t have any water nearby how in the world would I move the villagers like a couple thousand blocks that’s annoying so I think we’re ready for a conclusion of this part of the

Experiment and that is tedious annoying not really fun at all the moving villagers around your world they do have a mind of their own and you could use that to your advantage in some ways but also it’s just annoying if you don’t have water like I had here where I got

Lucky that it’s gonna be really annoying and even when I had water it was still really tedious like not really enjoyable at all and keep in mind that all of this is not factoring Niche experiences into the equation like what about like single biome world they’re like super flat

Worlds where there’s no specific biomes if you’re looking for one of those juicy biome LinkedIn let’s say I don’t know mending or something then it’s gonna be a little bit more difficult to get not impossible because you have things like maybe fishing or looting structures but more difficult for sure

So through all the experiments that we ran today the big standout one is the one that we just read the single biggest problem with these villager changes based off of the tests I read has got to be moving the Villager around basically if you don’t have water it’s gonna be a

Huge project if these proposed villager changes make it into the game it’s clear something needs to change when it comes to villager Transportation now these changes who come in a couple different ways option number one you hold an emerald and the Villager is like tempted it will just follow you kind of like

When you hold a camera with a pick option number two Elite of course as you probably know you cannot put a lead on a villager right now but if you could put a lead on a villager look at this you don’t even need to attempt it you can

Just like pull the Villager around a little bit like like look it’s obviously not ideal but you can combine leads and a little bit of water and like move a villager a little bit more efficiently not too bad but it’s Minecraft 1.20 nowadays inside of Minecraft 1.20 they

Added a camel and the camel what is it oh it’s a two-player rideable mob you can put one player on the front one player in the back the back is the passenger the front of the player the camel could potentially be perfect for this situation you go out into your

World you find them a camera then eventually you ride the camel over to a villager while you’re mounted on the camel if you bump into a villager the Villager is thrown onto the back of the camel after that you could use the camel to really efficiently travel across the

Land like not a problem at all to get the Villager off the camel when you Dismount the camel maybe the Villager pops off as well or you like a shift and click on a villager and it’ll kick the Villager off of the camel too problem solved solution numero dos basically put

It back to how it was before but definitely not exactly how it was before at all so if we tap on a villager and we look at this trade right here we see Smite if we put it back to how it was that would mean that we would still have

The chance to see mending right there in trade number one maybe that shouldn’t be the case here but maybe you should be able to get mending in any biome still or of course any of these other unique enchantments that too but maybe it’s just absolutely 100 never going to

Happen in that first level trait like you’ll never be able to tap on a villager and see the really really powerful enchantment right there you would have to like trade with a villager a couple times and then you’d have say like I don’t know a 30 chance to see it

In like trade two or three or maybe even the final one I do think the predictability of this new system is good and it’s cool too like if you have a SWAT villager is always going to have mending it’s nice the easiest way to get around transporting the villagers though

Is just not transporting the villagers at all you add a randomized equation in here where like maybe you have an extra trade and with a desert it could be any of these ones like I don’t know 20 chance for each one or whatever that would add up to last but not least my

Friends I’m so sorry about this but it is now the middle of the night so I was looking through my comments try to find the individual comment that originally suggested this because it’s genius chef’s kiss amazing the zombie villager zombie villagers as you know these Lads will randomly Spawn from time to time

Around your world sometimes they’ll spawn in an outfit what if this outfit had a random chance like to spawn as any outfit in the world like you could have a zombie villager spawn inside of the plains biome and it’s just like a zombie villager from the swamp if you were to

Say take these zombie villagers and have them spawn maybe even a little bit more frequently just a tiny minute and they could have any outfit in the world then you would capture it heal it up and it’s still a swamp villager but it’s inside of the plane spot and this could go for

Any type of villager as well like not only the swamp one but you’d be able to find a jungle villager anywhere in the world you’d be able to find a tiger villager anywhere in the world too this would make making villager trading Halls without moving villagers around like

Really really easy especially late game if you’ve got a golden apples and potions and everything like that you want to talk about lore this could also play into the villagers lore a little bit like the villagers there were probably Travelers in ancient time going from settlement to settlement maybe some

Of them got lost along the way and unfortunately zombified and you could choose to rescue them if you wanted to look we’ve already talked a lot today this is a long video and I’m I’m kind of sorry about that but what do you think how would you fix villager trading or do

You think it’s perfect right now your juicy thoughts takes and opinions throw them down in the comments below and smash like if you have again subscribe for more thank you all so much for watching our science experiments today I’ll be having fun the patron gang big
