Emeralds are not as nice as they seem. If NPC trading isn't fixed then it is going to be a massive headache.

Here are some trades you can do:

Buy

1 pair of leather pants for 2 emeralds
1 diamond chestplate for 17 emeralds
1 iron sword for 10 emeralds
4 exp. bottles for 1 emerald
1 diamond axe for 10 emeralds
6 porkchops for 1 emerald
5 glass for 1 emerald
1 shears for 3 emeralds
1 diamond pick for 11 emeralds
9 cookies for 1 emerald


Sell

21 wool for 1 emerald
Book for 1 emerald
9 iron for 1 emerald
8 gold for 1 emerald
24 paper for 1 emerald
14 raw porkchops for 1 emerald
16 raw chickens for 1 emerald
2 ender eyes for 1 emerald
4 diamonds for 1 emerald

Double post.

I'm leaning towards disabling villager trading if its possible. Not keen on villagers in general. Or even more generally Mojang's tendency towards DnD themed features.

Yeah, damn that Mojang and its game making :lol:

What are the thought concerning Ender Chests? They seem very useful for trading minus the fact that anyone could take the items being traded.

 

[Scott Miller]

Not really opposed to them, but we'll have to see how they balance. One thing I'm concerned about is making it easy to trade items between distant towns. As you know I like travel as a game element, otherwise people shut up in their towns and don't interact.

Okay and one question that is only loosely tied to currency.

Will you do anything about the "new" golden apples? They'd wreck pvp even if they are ridiculously expensive.

 

[Magpieman]

I dont understand, surely because they are so expensive they wont affect pvp. Even if someone can afford one or two thats only one or two fights after that they will have nothing and wasted tons of resources.

 

[Zor95]

It's not game breaking. My only concern is apples in the hands of the wrong people such as hackers or xrayers or people like Bigpizza. Just wondering what your thoughts are.

 

[Cryptite]

I think if you're willing to run around mining so much that you can afford those golden apples specifically for pvp, then you ought not to be messed with. I don't see how it would wreck pvp at all.

 

[Zor95]

Oh, and they are also a perfect tool for boat glitching.

Could anything like that work on the server?

 

[Magpieman]

I like the idea, i'm sure we could work something like that into the server.

Here is an updated version of the video I posted previously. It fixes most of the potential problems such as killing the villagers or the villagers adding new trades that you don't want.

What about the villagers strewn around the world (naturally generated)? They would still have the normal trades and accept books, paper and such, therefore you would have to kill them all or somehow edit all the villagers :? Maybe there is some command like in the SPC mod there is killall <ENTITYTYPE> and after that, just add new villagers where you want them and with the custom trades

Sadly I don't believe that it is possible to do such a thing, "You can't kill something that doesn't exist" as the ol' saying goes (Here I refer to the villages that have not yet generated)

 

[Zor95]

So.... new problem.

"The Ender Chest has been changed to have an inventory per player and not per world. Also, knocking down the chest will break it into 8 obsidian, unless you have Silk Touch"

One of the reasons that generators will require three people to operate will be to prevent personal vaults. We do not want someone to have protection and only use it to store all of their most valuable items and prevent people from stealing them. These new Ender Chests are personal vaults and cannot in any way be destroyed by another player, plus they can still be accessed from anywhere in the world.

 

[Cryptite]

Where'd you read that they can't be destroyed by any other players?

 

[Magpieman]

This may not be a problem as in the past we have discussed people getting 1 chest each that they can lock so when they are raided they don't lose everything. Personally i think the ender chest could be a good thing.

 

[Zor95]

TNT will not damage them and as long as at least one Ender Chest exists for the player, destroying one will not release the items inside. You must destroy them all.
