I found some emeralds a while back while mining and I thought since in vanilla mincraft you use them to purchase items from villagers. So since there are no real villagers in ecc I thought why not add the spawn egg so then there is a use other than decoration or to sell to the server. Sorry if there is already and im just a noob, but if there isnt please add this.
Did they change the cost then? The sign at the mining world portal says $1750. Nothing about nstars. Unless I'm just bonkers, which is quite possible.
When they were fist readded to the new spawn, it was publicly announced that they were 6 nstars each. While the price changed, this price change was given no publicity - since its only a few signs off to the side, you likely wouldn't notice at all the price had changed unless you went to buy one.
You can get villager spawn eggs next to the spawn portal next to the Mining World Spawn. Be careful though, you can only spawn them in the mining world and the mining world only. Happy trading!
You can purchase a villager egg that can only be used in the mining world for $1750. It's on the right wall
