RUN THIS BEFORE UPDATE>>>> /execute as @e[type=villager,tag=trader] run function libal:villager/librarian_remove

An update featuring Librarian travelling, Unlimited book enchantments(!), and a scaleable pricing system. Custom enchantments in modded should work again. This is the last major update to Librarian's Balance for now. I've been getting pretty carried away lol.

Additions

• Librarian's travel back to their Lectern when a book is placed onto it

  • Adds immersion and makes it easier to trade with them in an open village.

• Unlimited book enchantments

  • Now Librarian's can learn the full range of enchantments on your book at once!
  • Previously only one enchantment was allowed on a librarian's book. But there's a catch.
  • A Librarian's enchanted book cost is calculated based on how powerful your book is.

• How an Enchanted Books' Emerald price is calculated

  • It takes two parameters from your book; the best enchantment & the number of enchantments
  • Price of enchantment = price(best enchantment) * number of enchantments
  • The 'best enchantment' is usually the highest level correlating price (Lvl1 = 7, Lvl2 = 14, Lvl3 = 21, Lvl4 = 36, Lvl5 = 48),
  • or else its a special enchantment that overrides this (ex. mending = 52, silk_touch = 48, flame = 36, soul_speed = 24, & more.)
  • there's a python script for this on github.

• 'wind_burst' has been added to the 'sealed books' list

  • The sealed books list is now: [ wind burst, soul speed, swift sneak, frost walker, curse of binding & vanishing ]
  • Fun fact: you can now make any book sealed by combing a sealed enchantment to any other book!

Changes

• 'Sealed books' is now enabled by default (you will have to re-enable it manually)
• /reload no longer resets all your settings
• /function libal:options has been renamed to /function libal:config
• Improved compatibility with trade rebalance datapack.
• Particles, sound and visual reinforcement
• Swamp villagers are exempt from the mending removal
  • Another option to gain mending similar to the rebalance experimental feature.

RUN THIS BEFORE UPDATE>>>> /execute as @e[type=villager,tag=trader] run function libal:villager/librarian_remove

Updated to 1.20.5! This update took a ton of effort since Mojang replaced the NBT system with components. Run the command before updating or else your librarians will lose their default enchantments! For modded, please note that custom enchantments will not work with villagers for the time being. Vanilla shouldn't notice much change. Read for more details:

Additions

• More enchantments get valued expensively
  • Channeling, Aqua Affinity, and Silk Touch at 48 Emeralds
  • Flame, Infinity, and Multishot at 38 Emeralds

Changes

• Configuration menu has been simplified
  • It was so complex that it kicked you out the game for interacting with it
• Emerald pricing has been tweaked
  • Lvl 4 Enchants will cost 38 emeralds, guranteed.
  • Lvl 5 Enchants will cost 48 emeralds, down from 64/58.
• Removed 'Mending' from Sealed books list.
  • After testing, I think it should be up to the player to decide if they want to share it or not.
  • Soul speed and swift sneak will remain sealed; one is gained from piglins and the latter is a reward.
• Books with more than one enchantment
  • Before it would select the enchant at the top of the list.
  • Now, it will choose it by order of importance. This is because of the component changes.

Removed

• Support for non-vanilla enchantments
  • Due to the component changes and the way I add enchantments to the villager trade, I can't filter non-vanilla enchantments. I already have an idea for how I will fix this though, so follow to get notified for version 3.0 which will be the next update to this pack.
• Infected librarians keep their custom book trade. (fix)
• Max_level_enchant option because of component changes & simplicity

HOTFIX: Fixed an issue where the config menu didn't toggle options on or off, and the options command executes at the executor now.

A minor release to librarian's balance that adds a new configuration option, loot tables, tweaks, and fixes some bugs.

Additions

• Merged 'Villager Rebalance' Pillager & Mineshaft loot tables.
  • Increased chance of getting books with Efficiency in Mineshafts
  • Increased chance of getting books with Quick Charge in Pillager Outposts
  • You can always delete the loot table changes by removing the 'loot_tables' folder in data > minecraft (datapack)
• Ability to modify 'sealed books' enchantments list in configuration menu.
• 'Villager Rebalance' compatibility message added
  • If you have villager rebalance installed alongside librarian's balance, a message will tell you that no_mending has been disabled (the inability to get mending from villagers). This is because mending is exclusive to swamp villagers in the experimental feature. You can turn it back on from this notification.

Changes

• Tweaked the chances of generating Mending books in Ancient cities.
• Silk Touch has been removed from sealed book trades
  • The sealed books feature is a little bit experimental but it should stay simple. Silk Touch was never a treasure enchantment.
• Fixed a bug where sealed books couldn't be toggled off.
• Fixed a typo in the configuration menu

Important note about 1.20.5: I want to update librarian's balance to the next version of Minecraft, however with their component change to items they also changed the format of enchantments storage to be way more complicated than it should be. I reported it to Mojang here, so please vote for it if you can. This may or may not affect how quickly I can update it.

The biggest release yet! I have polished this datapack and added features that should balance villagers even more on survival multiplayer servers, including 'sealed' books, blacklisted books, and a configuration GUI!

Additions

• Added a configuration menu
  • This makes configuration so much easier. Run /function libal:options as a server OP to change all settings of the datapack. Note: options reset every time /reload is run, so consider permanent changes in the settings.mcfunction file.
  • Every major addition including the ones listed here can be configured or turned off.
• Added Sealed Books
  • If the traded book is a treasure (ex. soul speed, mending, + incl. silk touch) it will produce a 'Sealed' variant. These cannot be read by librarains but can still be used on your gear, which could lead to an interesting stockpile experience with your server mates.
• Added Blacklisted books
  • If you don't want some books to be read by villagers at all, add it to a blacklist via the configuration menu.
• Mojang's Villager Rebalance Datapack support
  • It's supported by turning the removal of Mending from default trades off, because of how it is designed there.

Changes

• All levels of books are now valued on Emeralds in trading
  • This means when you put in a Lvl 1, 2 or 3 book they will each be valued at a respective Emerald price.
  • If you put in the same book that a Villager is already trading for, the price will not change.
• Mending & Silk Touch will always be valued high
• Renamed CONFIG.txt to README.txt
• Improved particles & sound effects
• Various optimisations

I am really passionate about this datapack and I highly appreciate everybody who uses it. I am planning to release a YouTube video that showcases my changes in a consumable format. So if you've read through all this and understood them all, thank you!

This is the third release to Librarian's Balance, sorry it took so long.

• Updated for 1.20.2, 1.20.3 and 1.20.4.
• Made configuration easier to understand.

To configure Librarian's Balance in game, follow the commands:

This command changes whether or not Mending should be removed from default trading. /scoreboard players set no_mending libal.main 1 1=YES, 0=NO.

This command changes whether or not default trades should be capped. /scoreboard players set cap_enchant_level libal.main 1 1=YES, 0=NO.

This command changes the level cap to villager default trades. /scoreboard players set cap_enchant_level libal.main 3 CHANGE NUMBER TO YOUR LIKING.

Librarian's Balance v1.2 for Minecraft 1.20.

• Updated interact.json advancement to fit with new conditon
• Updated loot tables for 1.20

This release is the second update for Librarian's Balance containing a couple fixes and additions:

• Books traded no longer carry redundant data, including how many times it was used which bloated the combination cost.

• Books with more than one enchanment no longer carry all of them when trading.

• You can now find Mending books in End Cities.

• Enchantments above a Level 3 get priced appropriately when entered for trading.

Lvl 4: 34 or 38 emeralds.
Lvl 5: 64 or 58 emeralds.

• Loot tables have now been placed into the correct data file. Previously loot tables were not working. sorry!
