Unless I get a villager (IT'S POSSIBLE NOW WHOOT!).
Considering villager spawning is disabled in essentials' config.yml as 1ce did after an explosion of emeralds on the server after the 1.3 update...
Will anyone have enough EMERALD to produce beacons though?
I think I have 9 blocks... As for the emeralds, I have about 64 ore sitting in my chests from mining expeditions....
