There's going to be two types of golden apples, the standard one you have made with the gold nuggets and the special new one that is enchanted and made with golden blocks. Enchantments are protection (5:00), fire protection (5:00) and regeneration IV (0:30) I believe
It makes me really sad that we are already having a thread about completely removing a new feature we havent even tested. What ever happened to this server being fun?!! This was the server to beat all servers, and now people are leaving like Lemmings. How bout we just leave it alone and stop trying to babysit the economy and have some fun! I was on Shadecrest every single day for many hours each day having tons of fun before all these economy changes.
enchantments changed the economy, not us lol. The only reason editing the value of emeralds to villagers would be a good idea because it would spawn even more money into the economy. Ex. They buy 2-4 redstone for 1 emerald. you can get a bunch o emeralds from them like that and then buy diamonds. I'm working on 2 warzone maps that will hopefully help bring back some of the fun to SC.
But you cant craft anything with them besides a block, right? The only thing you can do with them is for decoration, and the block doesn't even to nice.
Villagers lose trade options after a few trades, so it isn't an infinite source of stuff. Have you never seen that in SSP? It's creepy as hell!
I think no one can predict how it will affect things. I say we just don't do anything for a week and see how it goes. Let people enjoy the new 1.3 like everyone else.
My personal opinion is leave villagers be its part of the game, however if after a few weeks the economy is all messed up because of them then adress the problem
Unless you want to trade wheat for diamonds and then have nobody buy diamonds, it's a bad idea to say 'let something wreck the economy, then decide if we should have done something'
I know this post is old but u guys do know that u cant just spam the thing with wheat it only does about 7 trades per item before it goes out of stock
that was mentioned tommy, i think some of the people commenting missed it. villagers will not ruin the economy, they will provide a diffrent aspect of it. in real life, items are consumed, in minecraft they are not... we have unlimited resources so we cannot expect inflation of prices like we would in real life. all we will have is deflation. eventually, the economy levels out, it takes time. there is no ruining of a economy unless we keep messing with it. the cash for gold chests provide rupies, the occasional cash for diamonds chests provide some cash, these things move forward with the game. cash for gold used to be higher, as prices dropped so did it. we are not economists... most of us have spending problems in real life... let the villagers come, the way we play the game will be adjusted around their influances, and life will continue... but as WKD said, if we mess around too much, we remove the fun from the game.
I have watched lots of videos on 1.3 villager trading and I have never seen a drastic trade like diamonds for wheat, I have seen enchantments for diamond tools but I think Mojang is smart about this and wont do anything to outrageous.
One emerald for 21 wheat Estimated value: 4.5r (chestshop average) 8 gold for one emerald Estimated value: 200r (cash4gold) you can't say that nothing drastic will occur when you can buy/sell emeralds for 4344% profit.
