Hey all, not to make a big point of it, but any new Priests only seem to trade rotten flesh and gold ingots for emeralds. If I recall correctly, this is a bug in MC1.8. Any way we can push for 1.81 or find a way to fix it independently? Thanks.
http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Trading#Purple_Robed_Villager This is by design. 1.8 made villager trades pretty much static (only difference being types of enchanting books and what enchants armor has etc)
Ugh... ok, thought that was later than 1.8 (it didn't seem to happen in my local world, or I didn't notice). Guess that actually made the blacksmith useful at least.
