All Minecraft villager trades

Villager trading might be the best system Minecraft players can access in a vanilla survival playthrough. Simple early-game crop and wood farms can be converted into armor, weapons, ammunition, and even Minecraft's best enchantments, all for very little effort or danger.

However, with so many different professions and trades, it can be hard to track each job, its levels, and what it offers. Detailed below are the potential trades for each profession so that players can trade with the right villagers.

All villager trades available in Minecraft

1) Armorer

The armorer is one of the villagers of middling use. The trades offered by them are not amazing, as oftentimes the enchanted armor is worse than what a player could make or already has since the cost of the armor trades is not prohibitively expensive.

The armorer's trades are:

Level	Item Wanted	Default Amount	Item Given	Amount Given
Novice	Coal	15/20	Emerald	1
Novice	Emerald	5	Iron Helmet	1
Novice	Emerald	9	Iron Chestplate	1
Novice	Emerald	7	Iron Leggings	1

Apprentice	Iron Ingot	4/3	Emerald	1

Master	Emerald	21-35	Enchanted Diamond Chestplate	1

2) Butcher

Butchers are among the best Minecraft villagers to trade with, as they offer emeralds in exchange for raw meat. The beef, chicken, and mutton trades are especially tempting, as cow crushers, chicken farms, and Minecraft wool farms are some of the easiest food sources to make in the early game.

The full list of butcher’s trades are:

Level	Item Wanted	Amount Wanted	Item Given	Amount Given
Novice	Raw Chicken	14	Emerald	1
Novice	Raw Porkchop	7	Emerald	1
Novice	Raw Rabbit	6	Emerald	1
Novice	Emerald	1	Rabbit Stew	1
Apprentice	Coal	16	Emerald	1
Apprentice	Emerald	1	Cooked Porkchop	5
Apprentice	Emerald	1	Cooked Chicken	8
Journeyman	Raw Mutton	7	Emerald	1
Journeyman	Raw Beef	10	Emerald	1
Expert	Dried Kelp Block	10	Emerald	1
Master	Sweet Berries	10	Emerald	1

3) Cartographer

Cartographers are an interesting Minecraft villager profession. The trades for emeralds they offer aren’t particularly good, but they sell very unique and powerful maps.

The first of these is the ocean explorer map, which shows the location of an ocean monument and is useful for setting up a Minecraft guardian farm. The second is a woodland explorer map, which, as the name suggests, leads players towards the elusive and dangerous woodland mansion.

The full set of cartographer trades consists of the following:

Level	Item Wanted	Amount Wanted	Item Given	Amount Given
Novice	Paper	24	Emerald	1
Novice	Emerald	7	Empty Map	1
Apprentice	Glass Pane	11	Emerald	1
Apprentice	Emerald and Compass	1	Ocean Explorer Map	1
Journeyman	Compass	1	Emerald	1
Journeyman	Emerald and Compass	14 and 1	Woodland Explorer Map	1
Expert	Emerald	7	Item Frame	1
Expert	Emerald	3	Any Color Banner	1
Master	Emerald	8	Globe Banner Pattern	1

4) Cleric

Clerics offer a ton of miscellaneous useful items for trade (Image via Mojang)

Clerics might be one of the most useful villagers to trade with. One of their first trades converts rotten flesh, otherwise completely useless, into emeralds.

This means players with a nearby Minecraft mob farm should have easy access to emeralds. Additionally, they sell many weird and useful resources, such as redstone dust for making machinery and ender pearls for reaching Minecraft’s ender dragon final boss when enderman won’t spawn.

The full list of interesting cleric trades is:

Level	Item Wanted	Amount Wanted	Item Given	Amount Given
Novice	Rotten Flesh	32	Emerald	1
Novice	Emerald	1	Redstone Dust	2
Apprentice	Gold Ingot	3	Emerald	1
Apprentice	Emerald	1	Lapis Lazuli	1
Journeyman	Rabbit’s Foot	2	Emerald	1
Journeyman	Emerald	4	Glowstone	1
Expert	Scute	4	Emerald	1
Expert	Glass Bottle	9	Emerald	1
Expert	Emerald	5	Ender Pearl	1
Master	Nether Wart	22	Emerald	1
Master	Emerald	3	Bottle O’ Enchanting	1

5) Farmer

The farmer's trades are incredible for making money, even if it can be slow (Image via Mojang)

Farmers are one of the two best Minecraft villagers with whom players can trade. This is due to how many easy emerald trades a single farmer can offer at once. They will buy any basic crop that is easy to have in abundance, as well as pumpkins and whole melons. Farmers can also be used to set up automatic Minecraft crop farms, entirely automating this emerald-making scheme.

All potential farmer trades are:

Level	Item Wanted	Amount Wanted	Item Given	Amount Given
Novice	Wheat	20	Emerald	1
Novice	Potato	26	Emerald	1
Novice	Carrot	22	Emerald	1
Novice	Beetroot	15	Emerald	1
Novice	Emerald	1	Bread	6
Apprentice	Pumpkin	6	Emerald	1
Apprentice	Emerald	1	Pumpkin Pie	4
Apprentice	Emerald	1	Apple	4
Journeyman	Melon	4	Emerald	1
Journeyman	Emerald	3	Cookie	18
Expert	Emerald	1	Cake	1
Expert	Emerald	1	Suspicious Stew (Night Vision)	1
Expert	Emerald	1	Suspicious Stew (Poison)	1
Expert	Emerald	1	Suspicious Stew (Jump Boost)	1
Expert	Emerald	1	Suspicious Stew (Weakness)	1
Expert	Emerald	1	Suspicious Stew (Blindness)	1
Expert	Emerald	1	Suspicious Stew (Saturation)	1
Master	Emerald	3	Golden Carrot	3
Master	Emerald	4	Glistering Melon Slice	3

6) Fisherman

Fisherman trades are a good way to get iron-free buckets if nothing else (Image via Mojang)

Fishermen are another villager that probably won’t see much trading. They have decent deals, including converting string and raw fish into emeralds. This makes an AFK fish farm an incredible choice for trading with them.

However, the goods they sell leave a lot to be desired. Fishermen sell cooked fish, buckets of fish, campfires, and enchanted fishing rods. The earlier three are uninteresting, while the fishing rod trade has the same issues as the armor trades mentioned earlier: it's worse than a player could make or already has.

Fishermen trades are as follows:

Level	Item Wanted	Amount Wanted	Item Given	Amount Given
Novice	String	20	Emerald	1
Novice	Coal	10	Emerald	1
Novice	Emerald and Raw Cod	1 and 6	Cooked Cod	6
Novice	Emerald	3	Bucket of Cod	1
Apprentice	Raw Cod	15	Emerald	1
Apprentice	Emerald and Raw Salmon	1 and 6	Cooked Salmon	6
Apprentice	Emerald	2	Campfire	1
Journeyman	Raw Salmon	13	Emerald	1
Journeyman	Emerald	8-22	Enchanted Fishing Rod	1
Expert	Tropical Fish	6	Emerald	1
Master	Pufferfish	4	Emerald	1
Master	One of five boats	1	Emerald	1

7) Fletcher

Fletchers are one of the best ways to make emeralds quick (Image via Mojang)

Fletchers are up there with farmers as the best villager to fill a Minecraft trading hall. This is due to the fact that one of their potential starting trades converts sticks into emeralds. Wood is one of the most common materials in the game, so having a way to turn it into other useful items comes in handy.

The other most noteworthy trade is to convert arrows into a randomly selected tipped arrow; this is one of the only ways to get them other than as random mob drops from Minecraft’s bogged and stray skeleton variants.

Fletchers can offer any of these trades, depending on level:

Level	Item Wanted	Amount Wanted	Item Given	Amount Given
Novice	Stick	32	Emerald	1
Novice	Emerald	1	Arrow	16
Novice	Emerald and Gravel	1 and 10	Flint	10
Apprentice	Flint	26	Emerald	1
Apprentice	Emerald	2	Bow	1
Journeyman	String	14	Emerald	1
Journeyman	Emerald	3	Crossbow	1
Expert	Feather	24	Emerald	1
Expert	Emerald	7-21	Enchanted Bow	1
Master	Tripwire Hook	8	Emerald	1
Master	Emerald	8-22	Enchanted Crossbow	1
Master	Emerald and Arrow	2 and 5	Tipped Arrow	5

8) Leatherworker

Leatherworkers might have the worst set of trades of all villagers (Image via Mojang)

The leatherworker is, unfortunately, one of the worst villagers in terms of trade. Many trades they offer are either incredibly expensive, such as asking for five emeralds for a leather helmet as a master-level trade, or missing altogether. The leatherworker fails to sell item frames or raw leather but has duplicate trade slots for both leather tunics and helmets for some reason.

The leatherworking trades are:

Level	Item Wanted	Amount Wanted	Item Given	Amount Given
Novice	Leather	6	Emerald	1
Novice	Emerald	3	Leather Pants	1
Novice	Emerald	7	Leather Tunic	1
Apprentice	Flint	26	Emerald	1
Apprentice	Emerald	5	Leather Helmet	1
Apprentice	Emerald	4	Leather Boots	1
Journeyman	Rabbit Hide	9	Emerald	1
Journeyman	Emerald	7	Leather Tunic	1
Expert	Scute	4	Emerald	1
Expert	Emerald	6	Leather Horse Armor	1
Master	Emerald	6	Saddle	1
Master	Emerald	5	Leather Cap	1

9) Librarian

The librarian's trades are incredible from the very start (Image via Mojang)

The librarian is the single best villager to trade with in the entire game and is the sole reason behind the controversial Minecraft villager trading overhaul. They can offer several enchanted books, including mending books, with mending being widely regarded as the best enchantment in the entire game.

The non-enchanted book trades are fine. Being able to buy glass is quite nice, but name tags are far too expensive to be worth buying when using the best Minecraft fishing rod can get them for free with a little patience. The clock and compass trades are just bad, however, and should be avoided at all costs.

All of the librarian trades can be found below:

Level	Item Wanted	Amount Wanted	Item Given	Amount Given
Novice	Paper	24	Emerald	1
Novice	Emerald	9	Bookshelf	1
Novice	Emerald and Book	5-64 and 1	Enchanted Book	1
Apprentice	Book	4	Emerald	1
Apprentice	Emerald	1	Lantern	1
Apprentice	Emerald and Book	5-64 and 1	Enchanted Book	1
Journeyman	Ink Sac	5	Emerald	1
Journeyman	Emerald	1	Glass	4
Journeyman	Emerald and Book	5-64 and 1	Enchanted Book	1
Expert	Book and Quill	2	Emerald	1
Expert	Emerald	4	Compass	1
Expert	Emerald	5	Clock	1
Expert	Emerald and Book	5-64 and 1	Enchanted Book	1
Master	Emerald	20	Name Tag	1

10) Mason

The mason's trades are great for stone-based builders (Image via Mojang)

Masons, known as stone masons in Bedrock Edition, are an amazing example of how niche some villager trades can be. They offer to buy and sell stone and the many different vanilla stone varieties, along with terracotta and quartz, one of the Nether’s most important resources. This makes them invaluable to builders who enjoy utilizing these blocks and completely worthless to anyone else.

The full list of mason trades is:

Level	Item Wanted	Amount Wanted	Item Given	Amount Given
Novice	Clay Ball	10	Emerald	1
Novice	Emerald	1	Brick	10
Apprentice	Stone	20	Emerald	1
Apprentice	Emerald	1	Chiseled Stone Bricks	4
Journeyman	Granite	16	Emerald	1
Journeyman	Andesite	16	Emerald	1
Journeyman	Diorite	16	Emerald	1
Journeyman	Emerald	1	Polished Andesite	4
Journeyman	Emerald	1	Polished Granite	4
Journeyman	Emerald	1	Polished Diorite	4
Journeyman	Emerald	1	Dripstone Block	4
Expert	Nether Quartz	12	Emerald	1
Expert	Emerald	1	Any Terracotta	1
Expert	Emerald	1	Any Glazed Terracotta	1
Master	Emerald	1	Quartz Pillar	1
Master	Emerald	1	Block of Quartz	1

11) Shepherd

Shepherd trades are great for colorful building projects and map art (Image via Mojang)

Shepherds are similar to masons, as players who need to trade with them will probably have to trade with them a lot, and everyone else avoids them. Their trades are exclusively centered around the many types of wool. They can buy and sell random colors of wool, along with all sixteen of Minecraft’s different dyes. This makes them super useful to survival builders who prefer these colorful blocks.

Additionally, shepherds sell banners and paintings. The banners can be given custom patterns and, when combined with the random aspect of painting selection, should be super useful for adding some flair to an otherwise boring Minecraft starter base.

The list of all shepherd trades is as follows:

Level	Item Wanted	Amount Wanted	Item Given	Amount Given
Novice	White Wool	18	Emerald	1
Novice	Brown Wool	18	Emerald	1
Novice	Black Wool	18	Emerald	1
Novice	Gray Wool	18	Emerald	1
Novice	Emerald	2	Shears	1
Apprentice	Black, Gray, Lime, Light Blue, and White Dyes	12	Emerald	1
Apprentice	Emerald	1	Any Color Wool	1
Apprentice	Emerald	1	Any Color Carpet	4
Journeyman	Red, Light Gray, Pink, Yellow, and Orange Dyes	12	Emerald	1
Journeyman	Emerald	3	Any Color Bed	1
Expert	Green, Brown, Blue, Purple, Cyan, and Magenta Dyes	12	Emerald	1
Expert	Emerald	3	Any Color Banner	1
Master	Emerald	2	Painting	3

12) Toolsmith

The toolsmith trades are awful right from the start (Image via Mojang)

Toolsmiths are similar to leatherworkers in that their trades are awful. For example, they trade by offering to take an emerald off the player’s hands in exchange for a random stone tool. That’s right. Toolsmiths could ask for something as valuable as an emerald in exchange for a stone hoe.

Additionally, the issues with their enchanted trades are the same as those mentioned earlier: the enchantments are not nearly good enough for the high asking prices.

Toolsmith trades are:

Level	Item Wanted	Amount Wanted	Item Given	Amount Given
Novice	Coal	15	Emerald	1
Novice	Emerald	1	Stone Axe	1
Novice	Emerald	1	Stone Shovel	1
Novice	Emerald	1	Stone Pickaxe	1
Novice	Emerald	1	Stone Hoe	1
Apprentice	Iron Ingot	4	Emerald	1
Apprentice	Emerald	36	Bell	1
Journeyman	Flint	30	Emerald	1
Journeyman	Emerald	6-20	Enchanted Iron Axe	1
Journeyman	Emerald	7-21	Enchanted Iron Shovel	1
Journeyman	Emerald	8-22	Enchanted Iron Pickaxe	1
Journeyman	Emerald	4	Diamond Hoe	1
Expert	Diamond	1	Emerald	1
Expert	Emerald	17-31	Enchanted Diamond Axe	1
Expert	Emerald	10-24	Enchanted Diamond Shovel	1
Master	Emerald	18-32	Enchanted Diamond Pickaxe	1

---

13) Weaponsmith

Even at the master level, the enchantments can be underwhelming (Image via Mojang)

Weaponsmiths are not quite as bad as toolsmiths, as they do not sell any stone options. The best trade they do have is probably for the bell, as the enchanted iron sword is super expensive for being iron, and the enchanted diamond gear is, once again, weaker than what players otherwise have access to.

The only upside to these trades is that they allow players to skip progression, should a few early shipwrecks be quite generous with emeralds.

The full list of weaponsmith trades is:

Level	Item Wanted	Amount Wanted	Item Given	Amount Given
Novice	Coal	15	Emerald	1
Novice	Emerald	3	Iron Axe	1
Novice	Emerald	7-21	Enchanted Iron Sword	1
Apprentice	Iron Ingot	4	Emerald	1
Apprentice	Emerald	36	Bell	1
Journeyman	Flint	24	Emerald	1
Expert	Diamond	1	Emerald	1
Expert	Emerald	17-31	Enchanted Diamond Axe	1
Master	Emerald	17-31	Enchanted Diamond Sword	1

This knowledge of the game's different trading mechanics should prove invaluable when preparing to take on Minecraft's different boss mobs. Villager trading will ensure players can access the best tools, gear, ammunition, and enchantments for these otherwise deadly encounters.
