SkyBlock Alpha (Jan. 6th, 2022) - Stranded Mode Additions, QoL, & Bugfixes

Updated: January 6, 2022

Hi! Alpha is again open in order to test Stranded mode! Note that any Stranded mode profiles and islands that you created before will still be there when you join Alpha again.

Big Changes
* New Villager trading system. Fully custom trades with a new menu.
* Villagers are now persistent mobs.
* Name tags and nameable mobs. Naming a mob turns it into a persistent mob. Name tags are dropped rarely from fishing loot.

Other Changes Unless otherwise noted, the following fixes/changes only apply to Stranded mode:
* Added several QoL vanilla recipes (bows, hoes, axes)
* Skeletons killing creepers now drop music discs
* Saplings now correctly stack in your inventory when dropped from leaves
* Redstone pigmen now spawn properly when conditions are met
* Added 20 cobblestone to the minion when you create a new island
* Fix a dupe with cows and lava
* Changed Builder NPC to be unlocked when you unlock all collections
* Zealots now drop end stone
* Zombie minions properly simulate lapis zombie drops when Sea Lantern Hat upgrade is applied
* Charcoal counts towards coal collection (in all profile modes)
* Charged creepers drop diamonds
* Ghasts spawn lower in the sky
* Added Weaponsmith NPC
* Added Rosetta NPC
* Added Elizabeth NPC
* Added Fear Mongerer NPC
* Added Baker NPC
* Added Oringo NPC
* Added Amelia NPC
* Collection is properly given when fishing enchanted versions of items (enchanted gold, enchanted iron, etc.)
* Crops grow faster
* Fixed island NPC skill requirements being off by 1
* Tweaked the natural spawning system to use weighted random spawning. Hopefully this leads to a more natural feeling mob distribution.
* Removed Oringo warp message that prompts you to go to the Hub.
* Fixed Trick or Treater appearing as adult zombie on newer MC versions (all modes)
* Fixed Training Dummy nameplates appearing as "Armor Stand" when reloading your island (all modes)
* Fixed crops that grow via minions not rewarding collection if the seeds were placed by a player
* Other things that I've since forgotten!
