Villager trade rebalance

This section describes an experimental feature in Java Edition and Bedrock Edition.
 
This feature is not enabled in-game by default and requires enabling the "Villager Trade Rebalance" experimental data pack in Java Edition or the "Villager Trade Rebalancing" setting in the "Experiments" section in Bedrock Edition.

Enabling the villager trade rebalance experiment changes the trades of armorer. Notably:

  • Buying diamond armor now also requires a small amount of diamonds.
  • Most master-level armorers buy iron blocks and pay 4 emeralds for them.
  • Chainmail armor is exclusively sold by 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. Damaged, enchanted, and cursed armor are accepted, making 8 the minimum number of diamonds required for a full set.
