Apologies for my assumption ! I ' m a musician that plays in bars , so I know exactly the douches you are referring to . The kind of guy that will walk up to a circle of us behind the bar after a show and just insert themselves . Where ' s the party at guys ? Anywhere you ' re not . <| sep |> What ' s the sitch ? <| sep |> Really ? What you want ? <| sep |> What ' s it like ? <| sep |> Anyone else watching this with family in a very uncomfortable silence ? <| sep |> I will never like this player . <| sep |> I ' d rather see more Aretha Franklin <| sep |> I ' d rather have big Sean <| sep |> And if you had spent the time building up a villager breeder on progressing normally , you could have had the exact same equipment except perhaps without Mending , but equipment is easy to replace and you can get Mending from autofishers anyway . A week to get toptier equipment is not particularly impressive for a game with progression as short as Minecraft . Sure , finding a village is reliant on RNG . So is finding ordinary ore . Finding a village doesn ' t instantly give you toptier equipment you have to spend time building a villager breeder , and building a farm for something you can sell to the villagers , and building an EXP farm so you can afford to place enchantments on your equipment . Even then , a villager breeder can ' t provide every piece of equipment at some point you have to mine for diamonds . Likewise , diamond requires you to mine at the bottom of the world which takes a very small amount of time to reach , and if you want to enchant that diamond equipment without using villagers you need to spend time mininggrinding for EXP or building an EXP farm . Getting enchanted diamond requires a significant time investment even with villagers villagers don ' t help you get it faster , they just make some pieces of enchanted diamond equipment renewable . Sure , you can get toplevel enchantments before getting anything else with villagers , but that ' s only because you ignored getting anything else . Provided that you get lucky , the OP ' s ore can be gotten at literally any stage of gameplay just because it ' s gotten through an activity that you are always going to be doing . Thus , it ' s possible to get items belonging to the second best tier in the game with only a few minutes of gameplay it wouldn ' t happen on average , but it ' d be possible which is enough to break balance . Sure , it isn ' t enchanted and therefore isn ' t quite the best , but in a game where there are very very few midgame or endgame threats , that ' s hardly a detriment .
