i think the only method we didn't use to kill any of the mini boss enemies were killed by pets but that's probably the only method we didn't use to kill any of the mini bosses we fought

Thank you for your report!
However, this issue has been temporarily closed as Awaiting Response.
Does this happen regardless of the method in which the mobs are killed, that being melee weapons, ranged weapons, artifacts, pets or enchantments?
This ticket will automatically reopen when you reply.
the only method we haven't used to kill mini boss enemies are the pets between me and my friend we've used everything else as well as going into different levels to kill everything the luxury merchant and mystery merchant lists to see if that would work with no results
Also have the same problem with the luxury and mystery merchants. Luxury is stuck on 2 powerful mobs defeated and mystery merchant is stuck on 17 enchanted mobs defeated. Does not change whether the mobs are defeated with melee or ranged.
Playing on PC with the latest Windows update.
I have the same issue on Nintendo Switch
Same issue here on Windows 7, i unlocked Luxury 1 slot, rest is stucked on 6/10..6/50
I am having this issue as well. I somehow got to 8/10 on my luxury but have no idea how. Anything I kill whether it be bosses or mini bosses on any difficulty level does not count.
PC WIN 10, just got the game 2 days ago.
For testing purposes.
Regular merchant upgrades just fine.
Tried Artifacts, melee, and bows on all types of mobs and got no advancement on the tiers. Tried on default and adventure difficulty both above and below my power level. Still can't figure out how I got some progress.
Kills done by pets seem to count.
I'm playing on Windows 10 through the Minecraft launcher, same issue.
No progress on the Luxury Villager slots despite beating the game on default at recommended power. And I also did a full clear of the Ancient Hunt at Default VI, yet the Mystery Merchant states I've only killed 4 enchanted mobs so far. I'm new to this game and still learning the mechanics but I'm fairly certain that count should be higher.
I can with 100% certainty confirm that summoned pet kills count towards the total for both the luxury and mystery merchant. I just did a run on adventure level. Let my pet kill all the enchanted mobs and that worked in my total.
The same issue at mine and friends accounts - we are both 200+ lvl, playing at apocalypse+ levels. Regular merchat works fine, Luxury and Mystery are buggesd not counting
I am having the same issue on the Nintendo switch version as well.
Playing the PS4 version of the game on PS5 has the same results. This issue is also affecting a lot of the game as multiple trophies are bugged because the game doesn't correctly track your character's kills and only your pets.
This glitch is also affecting me on Nintendo switch. Whenever i kill a powerful mob the luxury merchant does not register it. It is also the same problem with the mystery merchant, it does not register me killing enchanted enemies.
I also play on the Nintendo switch, and I'm still experiencing the same issue. It used to work, but it stopped registering the kills randomly about a week ago and I'm at 46/50 powerful mob kills on the luxury merchant.
I have the same problem, from Windows 10, the luxury merchant doesn't count my kill for redstone golem, enderman etc.
Same issue on switch here, although it registers some kills, but by far not every single one.
So for whatever reason the counters started working again and I can now upgrade the slots on the two merchants, i’m not sure why but I figured I should post in here again about it.
Same bug on Xbox playing local multiplayer. Both players having same problem with both luxury and mystery merchants. No enchantment or high power kills are progressing the counter.
Currently having this issue on Xbox One. We have all DLC and it's impacting ALL merchants. No more general merchant, blacksmith slots, luxury merchant, nor mystery. Even piglin.
This seems to have impacted the entire game as well and not just a save. I have two characters and both seem to be unable to unlock merchant slots.
This really sucks.
I am having the same issue with my mystery merchant and enchanter mobs not counting. My boyfriends luxury merchant number won’t go up either and we’re doing apocalypse 21 stuff 🥺
My son tells me that for the mystery merchant, only “naturally generated” enchanted mobs count, so mobs enchanted by enchanters, ancient mobs, the arch-illager, and daily missions do not count.
@GoldHelmet That is not actually true. Killing mobs enchanted by enchanters also sometimes count. By sometimes I mean that same sometimes which counts or not other kills for Luxury and Mystery merchants. As for the kills, I'm completely not sure what affects the behaviour, but it's certainly a bug.
What I tried (with powerfull mobs):
1) killing them normally (like no matter how)
2) killing them with plain weapon (with no effects or buffs, etc)
3) killing them with pets
4) playing either online or offline
Most often, killing them with pets counted at least a bit, but sometimes it counted by 100%. Meanwhile, other kills did not count at all. And as I've said, killing mobs enchanted by enchaters also count in general, but I believe there is the same "randomness" in counting so that not all kills count.
I have been able to get mine to increase but at a much slower rate than before, I believe that it has been switched to bosses instead of powerful mobs, they just havnt changed the wording. If anyone can verify this theory I'd appreciate it.
I believe the issue is that they switched it to bosses from strong mobs, I need someone to confirm it though.
@Sean Cook no, because enchanted mobs dose not work either.
For me mystery merchant works fine, but the luxury merchant stopped after 5
A proper fix for this is coming with the next game update on May 26, 2021.
This issue should be fixed as of version 1.9.1.0. Please let us know if this is indeed the case.
