CHANGES IN 19W11A

Lots of accessibility improvements!
Added a new "Globe" banner pattern and item (Currently only accessible from commands or the creative inventory)
Trading changes
Added recipe for smithing and fletching table
TNT and TNT minecart explosions now have 100% drop rate

ACCESSIBILITY

There's a new Accessibility menu which provides a useful place for all of our accessibility features to be toggled
When the narrator is turned on, buttons will be narrated on focus
Most screens allow tab and shift+tab navigation through buttons, edit boxes and other UI elements
Most lists allow up/down arrow keys to navigate through them
We've added a new option for turning up the background of all transparent text elements, which should help make them more readable for some people

SMITHING TABLE AND FLETCHING TABLE

Smithing table is crafted with 4 planks + 2 iron ingots
Fletching table is crafted with 4 planks + 2 flint
Villagers use them as a work site
We've decided not to add the functionality for these blocks for this update as we want to make sure that they're useful for the overall gameplay. We have a great idea for them for the next major themed update...

TRADING CHANGES

Lots of new trades have been added
Villagers now level up in a new way
The trading UI is updated (WIP)
The trading prices now depend on your reputation and on demand
The villagers will restock up to two times per day (if they can work at their work station!)
Added visual trading; villagers will display the item they want to trade for your in-hand item

VILLAGER CHANGES

Villagers now have a daily schedule. They will for example go to work and meet up at the village bell
Each villager will try to find their own bed and work station
Each profession has a specific block that works as a work station for them (e.g. lectern for the librarian and cauldron for the leatherworker)
Village detection is now based on beds, job sites and meeting points instead of doors
Iron golems will spawn when enough villagers meet
