IMO, do not make blaze rods a common trade. The server should keep things 'harder' and more tedious then everybody having access to everything 24-7. Make people go find a blaze spawner in the nether. Make them get it through trading with others.
*The more player interaction, the better the server develops.*
Ghast tears are a pain in the butt to get, however. IMO keep the good stuff out of the auto trade zones. Let the economy rest in the players' hands.
God apples shouldn't be added; people can already book home just from the regen of food.
I agree with atheod.
There is already a thriving player market in resources like blaze rods and ghast tears. Offering these in trade kinda ruins that.
Or at least make them quite expensive in line with their rarity and usefulness.
Yes, I agree with R4. Steps like this making the life cycle of the game much shorter is what killed the 1.8 economy. The game cycle should be as long as possible, so that not only the economy is preserved, but people see enjoyment through progression.
And from a pvp standpoint, the new 1.9 system makes it extremely tedious and drawn out to kill someone with anything p2+, due to the immense regen and also due to the fact that the sword cooldown is longer than the immunity period (0.5 vs 0.63) causing people to get hit much less often; not only that but people quite regularly miss with their charged hit, meaning that sometimes damage is only dealt every 1.26 seconds. Making p4 a common resource subtly through steps like this would reduce pvp to nothing.
Hi Barron, Thanks for opening up the discussion. I'd love to see some of the crafting guild trades come back, particularly the paper -> book trade. I'd also love to see armor salvaging trades, that turn armor back into it's crafting ingredients.
I agree with @Atheod and @R4iscool1 about holding off on blaze rods and ghast tears, although I think we should eventually have a dragons breath trade in vip (just not at the moment).
@Mabzino once everyone gets prot 4 there will be no pvp deaths. every fight I've had with someone in prot 4 so far it lasted 6+ minutes and neither of us died. Plus on the new map the arena is basically the only place you can pvp since the end has too many adventure mode spots and spawn protection goes out 200 blocks past spawn.
Is taking out the weapon cool-down a possible option?
its a possible option but i doubt crafty would ever take it off
@iwarriiori you gotta embrace the new pvp
@tsu your're turning into one of them
@iwarriiori @tsu your're turning into one of them
"One of us!" (Well,Them)
1.8 is still available if you don't like the new style
Nobody is on the 1.8 server.
This might seem strange, but I find myself waiting for night or rain to end, if there were some difficult task, almost like parkour, where if you finish it, it is a sunny day, it would give us something to do while waiting for it to end, while potentially expediting it.

Now that I've had more time to look over the trades, I have a few more suggestions.
16 Wheat -> Emerald
Vanilla villager will trade 18-22 Wheat for an emerald. Is this a mistake?
19 Coal -> Emerald
18 Coal -> Emerald
Pick one.
Iron Axe -> 34 Coal
This is a super op trade that can be used to turn iron into emeralds/diamonds was this intentional? This works out to about 1.5 iron per emerald compared with 7-9 on the vanilla villager. Why not just offer a straightforward trade of 3 iron for two emeralds?
Is it intentional that we can no longer trade for diamond pickaxes at spawn?
@Eberk91 i feel like trading chorus fruit, beats, paper, melons and pumpkins for emeralds and also adding some enchanted diamond picks for emeralds
I agree with Eberk, I suck at PvP and I'm a scaredy-cat. So instead of trying not to die and lose my stuff in the nether/End, I usually get my higher-level stuff by trading for emeralds. More crop-selling options like beetroot and re-adding melons and pumpkins would be super helpful for a poor farmer-builder like me :P
Not sure if the chorus fruit is a good idea just yet, but there is a secret villager that buy pumpkins in spawn. i havent made a trade for melons or beets yet... Having everything available for purchase kinda takes the fun out of exploring dosent it though?
And as far as the axes and swords for coal trades, i didnt make those.
the pickaxes used to be there... i don't pvp so there really isn't much useful besides the decorative stuff. I do love those by the way! Thank you! I'm a big chicken too so that's the only way i could get some of that stuff to decorate my room.
