1.16.1 Ender Pearl Rates
by TJOAT
1.16.1 Ender Pearl Rates changes how often piglins barter ender pearls, returning the bartering chance to its 1.16.1 value on a Fabric server.
What it does
Piglin bartering with gold ingots normally yields ender pearls at a rate that changed in later versions. This mod reverts the ender pearl rate to what 1.16.1 used, so the pearl weight is set to 23 where the 1.16.1 value was 20. Because newer items join the loot pool, the chance ends up slightly higher than it was in 1.16.1. Other current piglin trades are left untouched.
Key features
Ender pearl rate reverted
The ender pearl weight in piglin bartering returns to the 1.16.1 behavior.
Other trades unchanged
Every other current piglin trade keeps its existing rate, so only the pearl chance differs.
Adjusted pearl weight
The pearl weight is set to 23 instead of 20, which compensates for newer items in the loot pool.

What the author says
Reverts ender pearl piglin bartering rates to what it was in 1.16.1. Leaves all other current piglin trades untouched. This sets the weight of pearls to 23, even though it was 20 in 1.16.1. This is to accommodate for new items in the loot pool, and technically makes the chance slightly higher than what it was in…
