Higher level villagers should restock trades more often

In the latest snapshot the whole trading system changed. Villagers now restock their trades twice a day, and most trades can only be done 4 times. This is a huge problem in cases where you need to trade in mass (to get emeralds, for example). 12 trades per day is not enough, even more when most selling trades only give you 1 emerald.

So my idea to fix this is to increase the frequency in which they restock their trades as you level them up.

Novice starts at 2 restocks per day and it goes al the way up to 24 restocks at Master (or something like that). I feel like this amount brings it almost back to the trading speed we've had until now. Having to afk lots of minutes waiting for the villager to restock only 4 trades would be a very unwelcome change so with this method it would be fixed.

    24 may be a bit much, but increasing would be nice.

    Perhaps they'll do more trades before closing it up for in demand stuff (increasing supply to meet demand) or perhaps stuff they are having trouble selling (because they're desperate to move it).

    I do agree that 12 trades, of EVERYTHING they may have is not enough for most jobs though.

    I think it would look better like this.

    Level 1: 3

    Level 2: 4

    Level 3: 6

    Level 4: 8

    Level 5: No need more restock

    While it is a bit boring to level up at the beginning and this restricted restocking times, this makes the final reward of being able to exchange infinitely more satisfying.

    I definitely don't like that they've 'fixed' the infinite restocking back to twice a day in 1.15 snapshots. Limiting restocking to their working period during the day seems like a sufficient limitation to me, especially for a fully leveled villager as someone else noted here.

    i will agree with this point, 1.15 fixed the infinite restock which is kinda ridiculous to only have 2 restocks per game day.

     

    it should be like one from two:

    1. restocking twice a day if no disabled trades, otherwise they will instantly restock when they work on their table again. 

    2. 8x the maximum trades before disabling. (like you can now trade up from 16 times to 128 times)
