1.29 "Independence Update"

Fifteen updates after Village & Pillage, yet another village update comes in. This one, though, modifies how villages work and how they build. Redstone also gets another addition too.
==New Workings of the Village==
Villages now can build on their own, mine on their own, and even craft on their own! There are different buildings in the village. The buildings are the town hall, houses, farms, storage facilities, power plants, and more!
*Houses are where the villagers live.
*Farms are where food is grown.
*Storage facilities are full of mined materials.
*Treasuries store Shards.
*Powerplants can produce mass redstone current.
*Building centers are where tools are crafted.
*Breweries brew potions.
*The town hall is where blueprints for buildings are stored in special chests.
*Guard Towers are where Guard Villagers guard the Village from enemies.
*Camps are where Scout Villagers can scout out surrounding areas and if they see a enemy then they can report it to the Guard Villagers.
Although villages have these new abilities, buildings are rarely built. 
==Industrial Powerline==
The industrial powerline is like a pipe that is more convenient to look at and carries redstone power. Power travel speed is close to 120% of the regular speed. Villages use these to transmit power. One batch of 8 powerline units is crafted like below:
In	I	In
R 	C	R
In	I	In
*In=Iron Nugget, I=Iron Ingot, C=Copper Ingot, R=Redstone Dust
==Hopper Updates==
The hopper is given a different crafting recipe.
In	 	In
I 	C 	I
 	In	
*In=Iron Nugget, I=Iron Ingot, C=Chest
===Speed Hopper===
The speed hopper is 10x faster. Therefore, villages use it in the powerplants with coal.

R 	 	R
*In=Iron Nugget, H=Hopper, R=Redstone
==New Trade Medium==
The new trade medium is much cheaper than it is now. One can break down an emerald into "Shards." These shards will replace the medium. Shards are stored in the Treasury building. Gold is rarely used as a trading currency. Shards are the regular currency.
==Iron Golem Update==
Iron Golems can be constructed by the village as well.
==Blueprint System==
The blueprint system is a good example of player intervention in the game. The player must get a record of the building. How this works is: The player records a structure and seals the data in a book. Then, take the book to the town hall knowledge chests.
===How a Structure is Recorded===
A structure is recorded by placing a special array of blocks at the ground level of the structure. Once you place an array above and below the structure, then one can use a special recording process. From there, a book is written with a special cypher that represents the blocks and the order of blocks in the 3D array. 2 frames are used to record. One has to go between the two frames.
==Array Blocks==
The array blocks cannot be recorded in an array. They are made using the following crafting recipe and are powered by redstone. (45W/block) These blocks are made to go in frames as explained above.

C	I	C
 	R	B
*B=Empty Book (must be sealed and signed without text inside), R=Restone Dust, I=Iron Ingot, C=Copper Ingot
==New Copper Uses==
Copper can be used to commute a player from the Wither effect if copper pickaxe is being held. The commute is by 8% usually. It can be used in a brewing stand with the basic potion as the base to make the Antitoxic Solvent. If this goes into a diffuser, it can damage Wither Skeletons by 1 HP per second, as of the new system proposed in the Extreme Force update. The copper pickaxe has a speed multiplier of 22. It runs at the iron tier, meaning anything for "iron or higher tier" can be broken by a copper pickaxe. It has a durablility of 265.
==Communication Lines==
Private communication lines (in contrary to chat) are used using special redstone wires. Lining follows the same transmission laws as a regular redstone, except that it only powers redstone appliances at 1/10 of the running power and that the decay of the signal is 8x less. There will be options for both lines and chat involving the removal of vulgar language and the universal whitelist filter. Numbers in the form of a phone number have a censoring option. Data is sent using a binary flow based off of ASCII and other forms of digitized data forms. Signals travel at triple the normal speed of redstone current. It has no character for 8+ byte strings of pure ones, as that could be the biproduct of being interlocked with redstone current. Every byte is one twentieth of a second long, or 50 milliseconds. There are 256 combinations for one byte. Each byte has 8 bits, each one reckoned by 6.25 milliseconds. The machine can read 20 bytes in one second. It is either absolute off or signal, like 0 (off) and 1 (on). Hashed words automatically render as a group of number signs (inspiration from Roblox).
*The bit transmission speed is the new fastest moving "thing" in Minecraft.
===Recipe===
*C=Copper nugget, R=Redstone dust
*Make a batch of 16.

===Transmission Boxes===
The signals have to leave a machine called a "transmission box." There, a text can be typed like e-mail. Text can be sent from a sealed book for longer transmissions. The book is automatically reset once the whole message is sent. The box has all of the available censorship options. The downside of censorship is that the bytes may take a slightly longer time (less than 1/20 sec extra) to sec.

*C=Copper Ingot, I=Iron Ingot, S=Signal Line, R=Redstone Oxide
===Just how fast?===
*1 bit = 6.25 milliseconds
*1 byte = 50 milliseconds
*1 KB = 50 seconds
*1 MB = 13.89 hours
*1 GB = 1.585 years
*1 TB = 1,585 years
==Bookcopier==
The bookcopier is a machine designed to eat a book and copy it against a number of books. It can drop the stuff into a hopper. The books inserted must be book & quills. Up to nineteen other books can be inserted.
