Old Pearl Barter Rate
by AcidSid
Old Pearl Barter Rate changes how piglins trade, so ender pearls come back as a dependable barter result.
What it does
On Minecraft 1.21 and later, piglins rarely hand over useful items such as ender pearls, which slows early progression toward the End. This Fabric mod changes the barter table so bartering with gold once again gives dependable rewards. It runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything, and it needs Fabric API. Files exist for 1.21 – 1.21.11, and the latest is 1.0.0 for 1.21.6, published under the MIT License as open source.
Key features
Reliable ender pearl trades
Ender pearls become a dependable barter result, which speeds up reaching the End.
Older barter balance
Piglin barter results are rebalanced to give useful items more often than the newer tables do.
Early progression support
Players who gather pearls sooner can reach the End earlier in a survival world.
