Trading
  • Changed the trading mechanism of librarians selling enchanted books.
    • Instead of offering every possible enchanted book, librarians will now be offering specific enchanted books depending on which biome they come from.

      • Special books have a specific enchantment with a fixed level, and are only available from master librarians with full XP.
      • Normal books have a specific enchantment without a fixed level, just like before.
    • All enchantments used for crossbow, fishing rod, and trident are removed from trading.
