What Does the Hero of the Village Effect Do in Minecraft

What Does the Hero of the Village Effect Do in Minecraft

The primary result of having the Hero of the Village effect is that Villagers in the town you defended will greatly decrease the cost of trading for items. Depending on the version of Minecraft you are playing, this effect will last either 40 or 60 minutes. The version you are playing can also affect the level of the effect you receive.

Java

The Hero of the Village effect does more for Java players than it does for Bedrock players. On this platform, the effect only last 40 minutes, but you do not risk losing it be exiting the Village's radius. It also randomizes the level of the effect, which can increase your discount when trading.

The minimum effect level you'll receive is Hero of the Village I, which gives you a 30 percent discount while trading. Each additional level beyond Tier I gives you an additional 6.25 percent discount. Since the maximum effect level you can receive is Hero of the Village V, this means the greatest discount you can receive is 55 percent.

Bedrock

In the Bedrock version of Minecraft, the effect has a maximum tier of Hero of the Village I, which means it can only give you a 30 percent discount while trading. The effect last up to 60 minutes in Bedrock, but if you exit the Village's radius, it gives you 13 seconds to return before the status effect is lost.
