Trade Rebalance
Trade Rebalance is an official Mojang datapack that overhauls the villager trading system, making it more balanced and interesting.
🎯 Why Is This Needed?
In vanilla Minecraft, villager trading has several issues:
- You can get almost any enchanted book from a single librarian
- Some professions are nearly useless
- Easy to get the best gear without exploring the world
Trade Rebalance solves these problems by making trading more diverse and encouraging exploration.
📚 Librarian Changes
The most important change concerns librarians:
Biome Determines Enchantments
Librarians now sell different enchantments depending on the biome where the village is located:
| Biome | Available Enchantments |
|---|---|
| Desert | Fire Protection, Blast Protection, Curse of Binding |
| Jungle | Knockback, Swift Sneak, Punch |
| Plains | Protection, Efficiency, Unbreaking |
| Savanna | Sharpness, Looting, Impaling |
| Snowy | Silk Touch, Fire Aspect, Frost Walker |
| Swamp | Mending, Respiration, Aqua Affinity |
| Taiga | Fortune, Quick Charge, Power |
To get all the enchantments you need, you'll have to find villages in different biomes or move villagers!
Enchantment Levels
- Level 1 enchantments — available immediately
- Maximum level — only at Master level (profession level 5)
🗺️ Cartographer Changes
Cartographers now sell maps to various structures depending on the biome:
| Biome | Structure Maps |
|---|---|
| Desert | Pyramid, Jungle Temple |
| Jungle | Jungle Temple |
| Plains | Trial Chamber |
| Savanna | Village |
| Snowy | Igloo |
| Swamp | Witch Hut |
| Taiga | Pillager Outpost |
⚔️ Weaponsmith & Armorer Changes
Weaponsmiths
Now sell random enchanted diamond tools:
- Diamond pickaxe with enchantment
- Diamond axe with enchantment
Enchantments are random and not always maximum level.
Armorers
Sell random enchanted diamond armor:
- Armor pieces can have various enchantments
- Enchantment levels vary
This makes searching for perfect gear through trading less predictable and more interesting.
🎣 Fisherman Changes
Fishermen now buy boats:
- Regular boats
- Boats with chests
This provides another way to earn emeralds.
🌾 Farmer Changes
Farmers now sell more seeds:
- Beetroot seeds
- Pumpkin seeds
- Melon seeds
🔄 Core Rebalance Principles
- Exploration matters — need to find villages in different biomes
- Less predictability — random enchantments on tools
- More diversity — different professions became more useful
- Progression — better offers at higher levels
