Turn Bedrock Villager Trades back to normal!

Alright, Villager Trades were revamped in 1.14, giving new, exciting trades and a whole new UI! People trading with Villagers occured much more, allowing players to turn common items like potatoes, into eventually a sparkling Diamond Pickaxe! That is, until 1.16. The new Nether Update did three things to villager trades on bedrock.

A. It updated trades to closely match Java's Trades

B. Enchanted Items now sell with a Range.

C. An Iron Sword's Price was increased from 2 to an Avg of 14.

Over 18 Trades were changed in the Bedrock 1.16 Update, and the majority of them was increasing the prices of enchanted gear by an astonishing 320.25% cost via emeralds. The least affected item was increased by a modest 86%. (Diamond Leggings) The most affected item was increased by an astonishing 1200%. (Iron Axe) Items like Enchanted Bows and Crossbows were increased by 500%!, Literally because they carry a Level One Enchantment. (Usually Power I or Punch I) Would YOU pay 120 Wheat, or 18 Gold Ingots, or 84 Raw Chicken for a Power I Bow? I Understand that these trades were an attempt to make the trading more realistic, but if you look at the numbers (i did the math via calculator and villager offers on MC Official Wiki) then youll know that the only thing that happened was making 12 trades unused by the large majority of MC Bedrock Players. So Please change these back to normal and don't undo the hard work that took place in 1.14. Please add this to Java if possible. Ty for your consideration!

    No way! The nether update is awesome! And plus, enchanted items NEED to be expensive. If you pay 1 emerald for an enchanted item, then a whole gigantic goal (making an enchanting table & getting the lapis for it) would be demolished! Enchanted items would practically lose their worth completely! I would certainly pay 20 emeralds for an enchanted diamond sword if I didn’t have an enchanting table, a diamond sword, or the lapis to use one! This is outrageous, and I certainly hope Mojang doesn’t put this into consideration.

    Why would you want to do that? it would make lapis and enchanting tables useless!

    im not criticizing the nether update, just this one feature. I agree the nether update is one of the best updates in minecraft. As for the argument that it would make enchanting tables useless, the enchantment table lets you choose what enchantment you want while the trades give you a forced enchantment usually at level 1. And the likelyhood that you would have 20 emeralds before you have a diamond sword is extremely unlikely. Enchanted Items' worth wasnt lost before, and it wont be again.

    For those who dont want a 12-Emerald Unbreaking I Iron Sword, please consider upvoting this post

    Absolutely not! The new villager trades are wonderful for many reasons, primarily (in my opinion) because they increased the trade cap - I can trade carrots with farmers, for example, like 10 times in one go instead of 4. Carrots are so easy to farm because you throw looting on a hoe from an anvil and you get 64+ carrots from an 8-10 plot of farm. Same with potatoes. I am able to level up a villager to master in one sitting and that was never possible before. Emeralds are now significantly easier to obtain than they were before and it’s only natural that the prices be amped. I always thought it was strange that the diamond things were as cheap as they were to be honest. There’s a reason so few people have upvoted this post. It’s a very bad suggestion that I hope they ignore completely. You say the unlikelihood of having 20 emeralds is unlikely, but are you just really bad at trading or something? I got 33 emeralds from ONE farmer in one trading session just last night. And I have 2 farmers. You can sell rotten flesh to clerics, an item you will have at any point in the game. I say all that to say this: you’re wrong. You either don’t research properly, haven’t traded with villagers enough to know better, or just aren’t willing to put in the work to get the emeralds.
