In early July 2022 prop cashed in on a raid. The Hero of the Village effect gave him steep discounts from villagers, and he spent the day converting iron into emeralds (“im converting iron into emeralds”) 1 and then emeralds into diamonds. “LETS GOOOO”, he wrote when the first trades paid off. 2

By the next day he had a full set of chainmail and a full set of diamond gear, and he was proud: “i got all this just from villagers”. 3 He also admitted that the timing was lucky. “I would not have got it this early if it wasnt for the raid lmao”. 4

It was the proof of his belief that going for villagers over mining was the right call.
