Villager Trading Rebalance

I have been playing with the snapshot with this enabled and I have to say I have never had any issues with a Minecraft update before now. Building an active city with villager moving about for immersion and trades is something I have been doing in all my new worlds since the game was released - realizing I can only have 3 librarians walking around with trades I will never use is really discouraging. I've never been actively discouraged by an update but the thought of having to find other biomes, find villagers (or worse in Jungle and Swamp, cart a villager from another biome all the way to that biome and breed them), set them up for trades, set up travel to and from, all in the early game? I just don't want to play. There are so many cool new ways to promote exploring and the enchantment table does need to be improved. So does the maximum xp on reparing items. This, though, feels like a step backwards and just makes the idea of playing feel tedious.

  It would be pretty sensible if it was easier to transport villagers. Maybe abandoned villages spawn in jungles and swamps is a good hint to making players more easily get such villager types. And, make the enchanted books and equipment actually of a good level.

  Yeah this villager trade rebalance has a plethora of issues, its not just about transporting the villagers either, its building a breeder in each biome, waiting for the correct villager with the garb of that biome to grow up, transporting multiple shipments of resources and emeralds to this librarian, and you have to stay in simulation distance while this baby grows up, and I don't even want to tell you what I do with the plains villager babies when I'm trying to grow jungle villagers. Also another big issue is now this biome specific trade option thing forces me to keep looking up which enchantments correspond to which biome, and what the level cap is for that enchantment for the librarian, is it a master level trade? I shouldn't need to do a research project every time I want to just play the game, either have in game data, or don't have such specific biome locking. All in all, this villager rebalance feels so forced and not fun, it just adds more tedium and just another thing where I need to open up external resources to make anything out, Mojang stop just stretching out the midgame. Also I agree, enchantment table needs to be improved, they could've applied these biome specific enchantments to the enchantment table, or at least have a weighted system where certain enchantments become more likely in a specific biome but not hard locked.
