First off i love the new villager trade idea, the biome specific villager trades makes exploration and world building deeper, but one thing i noticed is that the savannah villagers (who live in distinctly sub-saharan africa inspired buildings) are the village slated in the experimental update to sell Cursed armor and books. I'm not one to usually complain about such a minor trait, but i do think that this reads as a bit Tone-Deaf on you (the developers') part, since associating african cultures with curses and dark magic is a relatively problematic trope.
I don't think this was intentional on the part of the Mojang team, which is why i wanted to bring it to attention here as feedback, since i doubt you would want to put something unintentionally readable as racist in your game, and have had pretty good record of doing the opposite in the past.
I hope you can re-think the savannah curse trades before the full release, and find something less iffy to give them as a unique biome trait.
