EXPERIMENTAL FEATURES

Villager Trade Rebalancing

This experiment has no effect on normal worlds.

Cartographer

Before now, Cartographers only sold maps to the Ocean Monument and Woodland Mansion. In this experiment Cartographers can sell seven new maps as well. These new maps each point to a different village or structure and can be used to find seven different biomes. This will help players who want to quickly find a specific location without waiting until they come across it by chance.

Cartographers from different biomes will sell a different selection of maps. Starting from one village, it will be possible to find every other village type by following maps from village to village.

Cartographers now sell 7 new maps: Desert Village Map, Jungle Explorer Map, Plains Village Map, Savanna Village Map, Snow Village Map, Swamp Explorer Map, and Taiga Village Map.

Armorer

The Armorer’s trades have been updated with many changes.

The biggest change is that buying diamond armor now requires paying a small amount of Diamonds as well as Emeralds. This is meant to make the Armorer’s diamond armor trades less useful at the start of the game when players don’t have any Diamonds, while still giving a powerful advantage to advanced players who have spent some time collecting Diamonds.

Early-game players will find Armorers useful as a great source of iron armor, Shields, and Emeralds.

Other changes include:

Most master-level Armorers buy Iron Blocks (and pay very well for them)

Chainmail armor is exclusively sold by the secret Jungle and Swamp Armorers

The Savanna Armorer sells cursed diamond armor at reduced prices

The Taiga Armorer can swap one piece of diamond armor for another

Structure Loot

Certain Enchanted Books now have a high chance of generating in some structures:

Ancient Cities: Mending

Mineshafts: Efficiency (I to V)

Pillager Outposts: Quick Charge (I to III)

Desert Temples: Unbreaking (I to III)

Jungle Temples: Unbreaking (I to III)

Minecraft Gameplay

Minecraft is a special kind of game where you get to explore a big world made of blocks. There are no strict goals, so you have a lot of freedom to decide what you want to do. You can gather materials, make tools, and build things like houses, machines, and more.

Some people even make really complex systems using a special material called Redstone. You can play in different ways, like survival mode, where you have to find resources to stay alive, or creative mode, where you have unlimited stuff to use and can fly around.

There are also different dimensions like the Nether and the End, each with its own unique features. You can play on your own or with others in multiplayer mode. The game has different modes like survival (where you have to survive against monsters) and creativity (where you can build freely without any limits).
