Title: Emeralds!
Post by: jko831 on July 06, 2012, 01:55:22 am
When 1.3 comes out, emeralds should be available at the market and have the same buy and sell price.

I wouldn't say they would have the same price...

I wouldn't even make them available in the market, considering what they're used for.

Could they be as good as diamonds, but better?

I disagree, emeralds are intended on being rare adding them to the market would ruin them for not only me but I'm sure others as well. I would put these things up there with Sticky Pistons, nice hut not a necessity.

What are they used for? I'm not familiar with what is going to happen in this next update.

Well you can trade them with villagers but they can also be crafted into very nice emerald blocks wlmuch like Gold or Iron but with a unique texture.

Thanks man I completely forgot about that.

Also, it is noted that Emerald is 25 times more rare than Diamond, and only available on Extreme Hills.



That is what Mojang claims.

You may also trade other valuable stuff to the villagers to getemeralds, although the villagers often make 'bad' deals.

Not a good idea, emeralds are too rare.  If they were sold at the market, that ruin things and make it too easy to obtain.

I would agree with Sae here, they should be left with slimeballs as something to stay off the shelves of the market.

Nope, lol theyre only used for buying things and decoration

Wasn't there a chest you could create with them?  Or am I thinking of something else?
Title: Re: Emeralds!
Post by: Xeadin on July 08, 2012, 10:01:05 pm
You use Obsidian and an Eye of Ender for making Ender Chests (and yes, it is confirmed that ender chest inventories will remain separate-- that is, each player will have his or her own inventories in his or her respective ender chests)

Currently, Emerald has no other purpose other than aesthetics and trading with Villagers.

And I think that there will be two different Golden Apples once 1.3 arrives. The original is coming back, but is given different abilities.

So... Emeralds can't be made into a pick?

Nope, they can't be made into anything other than a emerald block for building purposes.

Now, back to the original topic of... Emeralds *cheers*

Post by: Macattack557 on July 12, 2012, 12:29:25 am
Not in the market. Like someone else said, it would ruin their worth. You could be able to only mine it on your own. It could be like a sign of wealth, like chicken are.

(If they were in the market, only for selling)
Title: Re: Emeralds!
Post by: Chief149 on July 12, 2012, 07:31:14 pm
Personally I think emeralds should be in the market, but with prices like these:


To buy ONE emerald: $3000

To sell ONE emerald: $100

The above prices would hopefully discourage selling of emeralds to the market (thus removing them from the world altogether), and will discourage buying of them, or make it so many less emeralds are purchased thus keeping them a rare commodity. Plus with villager trading the sale price shouldn't be higher than 100 per emerald because people will find ways to trade with their villagers for lots of emeralds.

Post by: Chief149 on July 15, 2012, 02:26:50 am
bump

Anyone agree with this idea? It would be really nice to sell emeralds to the market even if the market doesn't pay a whole lot for them as the idea above states.
Title: Re: Emeralds!
Post by: ☣2crzy4uall☣ on July 15, 2012, 04:24:29 am
nope, emeralds will be plentiful already without being sold in the market, considering how many npc villages there are
Title: Re: Emeralds!
Post by: Chief149 on July 15, 2012, 05:56:02 am
Well at least let us sell em
Title: Re: Emeralds!
Post by: Spamarian on July 15, 2012, 06:38:05 am
No. I disagree o their addition to the market.
Title: Re: Emeralds!
Post by: X_CHARGER on July 18, 2012, 05:14:25 am
I don't like the idea of them on the market but I do believe there should be some kinda community tradeing place with the npc's because the prices that the people that are going to sell trade time with testificates( in my opinion )would be higher than anything on the market. So you can trade with villagers in the market maybe and still get emeralds. I think thats the best Idea

Want emeralds? Find them. Find a mountain biome, I'm lucky my house is on the border of three biomes including extreme hills. Also, emeralds aren't useful enough that they should be in the market. Especially not the buy and sell price being the same.

Post by: JellyFlynn on July 20, 2012, 07:56:53 am
How would emeralds spawn in ???
Title: Re: Emeralds!
Post by: D00MKNlGHT on July 20, 2012, 10:34:22 am
If u can see the biome it means it's generate and won't have emeralds
