    As fun of an update as village and pillage was, it has a number of terrible legacies.
    Diamond equipment should’ve never been something you could trade for. At the very best, you should be able to pay a villager to repair a preexisting piece of diamond equipment for a high emerald price. Certainly not be able to cheaply and repeatedly buy diamond gear, much less preenchanted diamond gear. This is just something that has to be completely removed in order to make diamonds regain their value.
    Librarian trading for enchantments, at least as currently implemented, also significant diminished the enchanting table. The villager trading rebalance is making some head way in fixing it by making librarian trades biome specific, but that experiment still needs a lot of work.
    Trading for mending is a problem, but it would not be as big of a problem as it is now if it were not for the anvils too expensive limit. That limit is perhaps one of Minecraft’s worst features, and makes it so that you have to rely on mending to keep the god pickaxe you painstakingly enchanted alive so you don’t have to recraft it every so often to all the time if you mine a lot.
    The enchanting table should not be the worst block for enchanting. It’s literally its only function and is outclassed by both villagers and the anvil. A lot of things need to change. Here’s what I would do.
    Significantly rebalance villager trading, they are already working on this in the experiment but that still needs a lot of work.
    Remove the “too expensive” cap on the anvil. Also make it so enchantments can no longer be combined on the anvil. The anvil is now only used for infinitely repairing tools with resources and naming items. Also, using the anvil no longer costs xp and the anvil no longer breaks.
    In addition to all of this, I would make it so mending is only renewable through trading with a civilization that exists in the end, similar to how soul speed is only renewable through piglin trades. Though mending could also be found in difficult structures throughout the world, in particular the ancient city.
    The enchantment table will now be able to combine enchantments at the cost of xp and lapis, in addition to offering enchantments in an RNG dependent manner for experience and lapis like it does now.
    Another major change I would make is that each enchanting table in the world will randomly offer the player a different enchantment, and all the worlds enchantment tables will be reset after one is used. This will reward the player for crafting multiple enchantment tables as they will now be more likely to find enchantments they are looking for.
    We may also reward the player for crafting multiple enchantment tables by offering unique bonuses if the player places them all together in a unique pattern. This could be implemented by having the enchanting table have a connecting texture.
    The enchanting levels could also use a revisit but I don’t have an idea for that right now.
    Also, there are currently too many structures in the game that have diamonds and especially diamond gear in the loot table. That has to be significantly cut back on and diamonds should be reserved for the most challenging of dungeons. This ties into another one of Minecraft’s major problems, which is not having enough loot items for structures that are both balanced and rewarding.

    • @flamingviperv12
      @flamingviperv12 Před 29 dny +7

      I think the enchantment table itself should also have exclusives and I think mending would actually be perfect for it, rather than through villagers. I think it should stay in the Ancient City because of the warden but to be honest, I think there should also be some other exclusive armor types that can be combined with diamond armor to make it more valuable, but not in the form of netherite. Diamonds should also just get more uses in general, and one thing that surprises me is that we don't have iron arrows which should deal more damage than flint arrows in my opinion, but in doing that there should also be diamond arrows. And because of the lore around diamonds, I think it would be interesting to have the arrow heads break off the rest of the arrow after they're shot for diamond arrows because of how durable the diamonds are, so you get a new item and this arrow head can be reparied/refletched in the fletching table which can finally give it a use. I think it would also be interesting to add a durability feature for arrows, specifically diamond arrows, so that way you can repair the arrow head itself if you so wished. I think it would be completely illogical to spend an entire diamond to repair one to four arrow heads, so I think we should add a new block or tool into the game that can break down ores into smaller bits, so not exclusive to diamonds and not being able to craft it in the crafting table, which can open the door for more items down the road. I think it would also solve some issues with golden and iron nuggets if it's also implemented into this same concept. But because diamonds are the ore that is being cut mainly, it should also have diamonds used in the crafting recipe. Regardless, diamonds just need to have more things they can be crafted into to add value for them. If we make them more common, make them just as or even more useful than iron. Better yet, allow us to make diamond hoppers or other redstone items out of diamonds instead of iron and make both have different exclusive properties to balance things out. For hoppers, an idea could be having diamond hoppers sort and stack unstackable items for mob farms, in which these diamond hoppers can be then used directly with the crafter to even a decrafter to break down the items but only allow them for this purpose. So you would still need iron hoppers for other farms, but it adds in a new feature for diamonds and keeps the balance.

      I’m pretty sure the reason they made the change is not to nerf villagers because they’re so op. But to “encourage exploration”. Which is literally the one thing they’ve been focussing on for a long time by adding frog lights, armour trims, new wolf variants and so on.

  • @GaryTDA
    @GaryTDA Před 29 dny +82

    Whats also a theory, is that the worls doesnt change, YOU change. Practically all main features of gaining diamond stuff we’re always in the game. But when you were little you didnt have access to those so diamond were so rare for you and finding them was so cool. “But gary even when i have been playing minecraft when i was a bit more expierenced it was still cool for me!1!1!” Well, the more you play the game, the more risks you will take knowing you mastered certain skill. So if you are new/decently advanced you wouldnt go to end city’s use villagers and mine in giant caves, but the more you learn, the easier they get.

    Realistically, you need 7 diamonds for every piece of armor or tool decorated with trim or upgraded to netherite. So even if you get all your armor and tools from villagers, you'll need somewhere between 56 and 84 diamonds every time you need to make a new set of kit. Granted, unless you really suck at the game, that won't be too often.

  • @thegamerserpent4271
    @thegamerserpent4271 Před 27 dny +2

    I think the problem is the use for diamonds isn’t there. The game is easy enough to skate through with just iron; so unless you like the upgrade grind; diamonds already hold little to no value. Maybe if they overhauled the village system to allow us to make rooms and accommodations so villagers would move in; then it would feel less like we’re stealing villagers. Same thing with building and transportation; there’s very little reason to do those things. Minecraft is a sandbox but eventually we get tired of the limitations of sand. If Toycat reads this; I urge you to look at why people get mods, especially create. It allows us to specialize in the things we enjoy. Create mods give me the means and inspiration to build more. Mods that add additional challenge and purpose are fun. Why do I make a large farm if hunger isn’t a concern. Why build walls if there’s no opposition. Why build a story when most things are easily acquired. There’s even create mods that are working on adding airships, boats, and landships to the game. It makes the game world alive when your friend arrives in a vehicle carrying food for you and your villagers because you have to prepare for a siege. Or when your friend found a spot for a foundry and is producing high quality equipment; meanwhile you’re investing in magic, producing some of the best enchantments. And now you have a reason to establish a trade route.

      Precious materials like diamond and gold should be strictly finite, otherwise they cease to be precious materials.

      @@Nephelangelo Diamonds themselves, and diamond blocks, have remained finite despite the villager industrial complex flooding the market with various diamond wares. The vaults in 1.21 will make them renewable by technicality but not in a meaningful practical way (similar but worse than getting sand from wandering traders, I suppose)
      1.17 added raw gold and blocks of raw gold, which are non-renewable. So I suppose if some crazed lunatic with 129 accounts or accomplices tries to crash the diamond-based economy with vault-powered inflation, there's some backup currency options. Raw copper, raw iron and raw gold for metal-backed, or signed books for fiat.

    Without diamond gear the only thing netherite is good for are tunnel bores!
    Nothing more!
    To top it off, you need ACTUAL diamonds to duplicate netherite templates - you either loot bastions by the dozen to get a full set, or run around with your gear exposed to incineration in lava and knockback
    No diamonds = no netherite gear
    Sounds far worse than no enchanted golden apples (totems completely overshadow them), hearts of the sea (water-only stationary utility) or tridents (far worse weapon enchantments included than sword+bow; only good for riptide or saving ammo)

    I disagree with the enchanted golden apple. Their true value to me is purely in their rarity and for the all foods challenge. Once I found my second one, which I never look for, I just play the normal game and inevitably come across them, any next one is just not exciting at all. I have one in my Wall of Frame and one that I ate for the challenge. Any others I keep, sure, but they do not excite me. I get your point that diamonds have become devaluated, but I disagree that enchanted golden apples are still more exciting than diamonds, they are not to me. I recently entered an SMP where keep inventory is off (I always play with it on) and I set my mind to getting at least four fully enchanted extra sets of armour and tools. So I need a lot of diamonds. Which is not at all hard nowadays with the new diamond probabilities.

      I honestly don't have an issue with this either, tbh. It's this precise reason why I think diamonds should enter the redstone game to increase their value. Make certain items like hoppers have an iron and diamond variant, and the diamond ones can be used exclusively with the crafter to transport items in and out of it, which I think would seriously increase its value. I also think we should add a decrafter so we can break down items back into the recipe that made them, and I also think that the diamond hopper should be able to make unstackable items stackable by cycling them through the hoppers, and to balance it out, if you split, place, use, or whatever else a stacked unstackable item, it becomes unstackable again and must be thrown back into the diamond hopper. This would be so freaking useful for diamonds and increase value, and having the crafter and decrafter made with diamonds should also happen.

  • @ifinallymadeachanneltocomm4563

    I have to respectfully disagree with you. I don't think diamonds were ever that valuable. Full iron is plenty for fighting mobs, you can make obsidian and by extension a nether portal with buckets, and every ore can be mined with iron picks. Iron has far more value and practical uses than diamond ever did. Also, the go to weapon for every boss is made from some sticks and string. I would have to say that the only real value that diamond gear has ever had was pvp. Unless you count showing off to friends, that's fair.
