Just tested it - on vanilla, there is no cooldown between trades. So what plugin is it?

Give It a testrun In creative.
With infinitive amount of trade resourses with emeralds exluded.
You will notice that you actually have to spend more emeralds then you get.
The villagers will all stand there and only offer you to buy stuff for emeralds

If kainzo turns off structures that means villages won't spawn. This wouldn't work well as emeralds are mainly obtained from trading. I wonder if there is a plugin that generates it's own customizable villages...

I'm worried about huge mountain biomes being destroyed in order to find emeralds. Huge mountains with massive holes in them would look horrible.

I'm wit Emeralds being at a lower cost, and Gold being the main economy source. Plus, if need be, the price of emeralds could change during the map - After all, remember how much Gold prices changed in Sanctum? ;)

Just keep Gold as currency and keep Emeralds as a decoration block/bling/trade with villagers. The trade with villagers isn't a problem if Emeralds are worth 1c.

Don't villagers trade gold for emeralds? Or the other way around?

Farming villagers for currency, is much less preferable as mining gold, as you get experience that goes along with it.

Obtaining Emeralds simply sounds like a chore to me.

Personally I like gold better. I think emeralds should have a high-ish value, but they function too wierdly in the vanilla game to be easily converted into a primary currency, in my opinion.

Yeah, in all honesty, i'd prefer to see just gold in the economy. I've stated what i'd like if both gold and emeralds were to be used, or just emeralds, though i'd easily settle for just gold.

I'd like to see a gold-based economy (no emeralds) because:

- The process is simple.
- This form of currency hasn't had any major flaws/errors in the past.
- This system works a lot easier.
- It is easier to use than introducing a whole new economic system (player base wise).
- It is easier to use than introducing a whole new economic system (coding wise).
- It's a traditional MC currency.
- You gain exp through gold mining.

Merchants will run the towns, own the plots, be the only people specced, ect (if an emerald-only currency is introduced).
