Tridents, Villagers, Echanting and Anvils

Tridents need an upgrade of some kind. At the moment they're lackluster and get outclassed by both bows and swords. I would prefer this to be a netherite upgrade so that the smithing table isn't bypassed. I would also like Java to take how Bedrock handles Tridents for parity as the Java Trident in its current state is unusable as anything more than a rare decoration. Villagers and echanting in general needs to be updated together. The Librarian Villager is so closely related to enchanting that it overshadows the enchanting table all together. I would like to see a reason for XP to exist outside of anvil enchanting. I would like to see enchanting being an exponential usage of XP so that armor, weapons and books can be enchanted as many times as you want for more and more XP or a slider that consumes XP based on the enchantments you want. Anvils should have XP restrictions removed due to this. It's a very arbitrary restriction to the player and causes a lot of frustration trying to remember the most efficient way to put enchanted books on armor and weapons or repairing weapons and armor.

    So a bit of clarification for the slider example: Take a pickaxe to the enchanting table you can select any enchament you want that's available with a slider for every level. Unbreaking 1 would cost 10 levels. 2 would cost 20 and 3 would cost 30. You can add fortune with the same level requirements. Silk touch would be 15 levels by itself. Mending could cost 60 levels or still be a treasure item (For enchantments with 5 levels: Sharpness 1 would be 6 levels and 5 would be 30). You can take an unbreaking 1 pickaxe to upgrade it to level 2 or 3 or combine them at an anvil for a small discount (Unbreaking 3 and fortrune 2 = 50 ÷ 3 = 16 levels). You would not be able to add an enchament you picked and you'll need a new pickaxe for that. This would allow expression with what the player prioritizes. The numbers can be changed as this was just an idea.

    I would have it be a flat amount of XP based on the number of enchaments 5 for 0 and increasing increments of 5 per enchament
