Emerald, Trading and Other 1.3.1 Updates

Who likes the new experience? One receives experience for mining most minerals except Iron, and also a small amount for Smelting. It certainly makes it easier to gain high levels very quickly, and without the risk of dying fighting mobs.

So, has anyone tried out the new trading system?

How're you getting along finding Emerald?

Remember that Extreme Hill Biomes has the best chance, if not the only places? So press F3, find an extreme Hills Biome get down to around Y 12/13 and get mining! :D And of course at that level you'll also find plenty of Diamond and Gold :D

I think the trades are expensive, especially when it's a lot more efficient to find the resources oneself then it is to find the emeralds and then trade, but hey, it's still fun :) And when you complete a trade you get access to the next trade :) If you don't like the ratio you can exit the trade menu and right click on the villager again to have a different ratio created. There are 'blacksmith' villagers and 'Doctors' I think and every villager has a different trade, so have a look around before you buy :P

Come on with me and let's find emeralds?
