With experimental villager trades introducing biome-specific offers for Armorers, Librarians, and Cartographers, it makes sense to expand this concept to Clerics, especially to support peaceful-mode players. To make Minecraft fully beatable in peaceful mode without undermining its challenge, I suggest that:
-
Swamp and Jungle Clerics trade blaze rods instead of ender pearls. This keeps the item difficult to obtain due to the rare biome and the requirement of building a village in said biomes, the price could be 3–4 emeralds per rod to maintain game balance.
-
Snowy Clerics (arguably taiga ones too) (from snowy taiga/plains villages) trade breeze rods instead of ender pearls. These fit the cold biome theme and offer access to wind charge mechanics and redstone utility. A price of 1 emerald for 2 rods would reflect their fast consumption rate.
Blaze rods are essential for game completion, so this change would finally make peaceful mode fully viable without making it too easy. Breeze rods, while not necessary for beating the game, offer creative and movement potential, and placing them in established snowy villages ensures accessibility without triviality (taigas fit the theme but are too common in my opinion).
Unlike structure-based solutions that become harder as players exhaust them, trading provides a renewable, effort-based path, perfect for long-term worlds. This small change adds meaningful progression without compromising gameplay depth.
