Anyone know a way to guarantee ender pearl trades for 1.14.4?

Its just luck, there's a 33% chance that its a bottle trade instead of pearls. That's it, you can't do anything about it.

One thing you can try is to reset the luck on a bad seed by going into creative and cleric trading until you get the 1/3 twice in a row. From my own experience that makes it a lot less likely that you get 1/3-ed on a good run.

wait go into creative? isnt that cheating?

thats not RNG works

I think what benchbotch is saying is that if you have a dead run, that you're not going to submit or do anything with it, just go into creative and do what he said because the run would be finished at that point and you wouldn't be cheating.

@Zruler6Zruler6 I believe he's saying that to prevent getting 1/3ed from the villagers go into creative and get 1/3ed twice in a row to prevent it from happening on a good run. I don't think this is how RNG works. It may work sometimes but it's not something to rely on.

I was watching the Minecraft Java speedrunning on twitch and they never seem to get 1/3ed is this just insane luck or do they have like a data pack or something

The tourney has a datapack to stop the 1/3

but thats not allowed

YEP that is definitely NOT how rng works, but while we're at it, let's explain why it's a 1/3 chance cuz why not. At that level, the cleric has 3 possible trades to give, pearls, bottles, and green things (idk what it is ). So the cleric chooses 2 of the 3 objects listed and has 3 total combinations. Now in each of those combinations, there is a 1/3 probability that u won't get pearls because only 1 of the 3 combinations will not have pearls in their trades. So it is a 1/3 probability that u won't get pearls from trades.

Ahem, what u mentioned about 'resetting' rng is only something to boost ur confidence because that is not how rng works. If u 'reset' ur luck, it doesn't change the basic factor that it's a 1/3.

I'm pretty sure the unluckiest 1/3 dude person guy is on 34/58 1/3's and the highest streak by another person is 9 1/3's in a row.

what is "RNG"`?

could you not post this everywhere spex? its an easy lookup on google

I know this is for 1.14 but in 1.8 its guaranteed.

@Spex-LolliSpex-Lolli Random Number Generator... basically randomness

@rewanrewan no in 1.8 pearls are not given as a trade, but rather eyes of ender

@PooplyPooply correct I didn't know the original post was asking for pearls instead of eyes, thanks.

Just use the singapore datapack
