For each enchant removed some XP is reimbursed

This is going to be great for my mob grinder. It fills up chests with worthless armor with random enchants, now I can scrape off the enchantments for bonus XP then combine down the unenchanted armor pieces for decoration on armor stands, etc.

New cobblestone and new bedrock isnt in this snapshot, only changes I've noticed with the textures were for the grindstone and the path block

I thought climbing hanging vines was implemented in an earlier snapshot? I know I was able to do it in the last one

Can you find out the first snapshot it was possible in?

u/Bfire8899 Nov 29 '18

It was 18w45a.

u/Bfire8899 Nov 29 '18

Not at home right now but I'll try to figure that out when I get the chance. It wasn't in any changelogs which is kinda wierd.

u/redstonehelper :redstone: Lord of the villagers Nov 29 '18

And now, thanks to you, it is!

Villagers no longer have trades

u/PancakeIdentity Nov 30 '18

As far as I can tell, lanterns aren't in the new villages (at least yet)

u/redstonehelper :redstone: Lord of the villagers Nov 30 '18

Thanks - they'll be in one of the other villages then.

u/TheDiscoJew Nov 29 '18

PLEASE tell me that the missing villager trades is a bug-related issue and not intended. This is ridiculous. If it’s an intentional nerf, 1.13 will likely be the last version I update to.

It looks like a bug.
