Minecraft Villager Trading Chart

Every Villager Trade, in One Interactive Chart

A static wall chart of Minecraft villager trades goes stale the moment you need a specific item — you scroll past twelve professions to find the one you want. This villager trading chart flips it around: tap a profession and it lays out all five levels at once, every trade shown as emeralds in and items out, with the offer chance where a trade is not guaranteed. Switch to Find an item and it answers the question you actually have — “which villager sells this?” — from a saddle to a Mending book. Ranking the trades is a different page: best villager trades, ranked sorts by emerald rate instead of by profession.

Each profession is tied to exactly one workstation: a lectern makes a librarian, a composter a farmer, a grindstone a weaponsmith. Place that block beside an unemployed adult villager and it takes the job. Break and replace the block before the first trade to reroll the offers — the trick every trading hall is built on.

Some villager jobs go by other names. The cleric is often called the alchemist — its workstation is a brewing stand. Blacksmith is not a real Minecraft profession: the three smiths are the armorer (blast furnace), the toolsmith (smithing table) and the weaponsmith (grindstone), so “all blacksmith trades” means those three tables. The grindstone villager is the weaponsmith, and the “desert villager” you see in a desert village is an ordinary villager in desert clothing — the biome changes its outfit, never its trades.

All Villager Trades by Profession

Every trade each villager offers, at every level, laid out in full. These are the default Java Edition 26.2 tables — emeralds in on the left, items out on the right, with the offer chance shown wherever a trade is not guaranteed to appear. Jump straight to a job:

Librarian · Farmer · Cleric · Armorer · Toolsmith · Weaponsmith · Fisherman · Fletcher · Shepherd · Butcher · Leatherworker · Cartographer · Mason

Which Villager Sells It?

Most searches boil down to a single item. Mending, the game’s most wanted enchantment, comes only from a librarian’s enchanted books — never an enchanting table — which is why librarian trading halls are the backbone of the late game. Finding one is the easy half; what a Mending villager actually costs covers the emeralds and the rerolls that come after. The saddle, otherwise loot-only, comes from the leatherworker at master level. Name tags used to come from the librarian and no longer do: Java 26.1 replaced that master trade with red and yellow candles, and moved name tags to the wandering trader for a single emerald. The quick table below resolves the most-searched items to their profession; the tool’s search box covers the rest.

Enchanted Book Prices & the Librarian Reroll

A librarian’s enchanted book can roll almost any enchantment, and the emerald cost is set by the enchantment’s level, not its usefulness — so a level I book is cheap whether it is Efficiency or Mending. Treasure enchantments (Mending, Soul Speed’s siblings, Frost Walker) cost roughly double. A novice librarian’s pool holds 1 enchanted-book slot — one lever, not a hand of cards, and it is filled about 67% of the time — and a fresh villager rerolls that slot every time you break and replace its lectern before trading, so the cheapest way to a Mending book is a novice librarian and a lot of patience. Pricing that hunt is its own question: the Mending villager cost breakdown works through what moves the price, and why no honest grand total can be quoted. The ranked trade list covers why librarian books run on a different economy from the rest of the chart.

Which Novice Trade Starts an Emerald Farm

Almost every profession buys a cheap, renewable item for one emerald at novice level — the basis of every emerald farm. The table below ranks each villager by its most efficient level-one buy, fewest items per emerald first. Raw numbers aren’t the whole story, though: a butcher wanting 4 raw rabbit is technically cheapest, but the famous farms are sticks (fletcher) and paper (librarian and cartographer), because bamboo and sugar cane grow themselves on a fully automatic farm. Rotten flesh (cleric) is the easiest of all if you already run a zombie farm.

Want the rankings rather than the full listing? Two companion guides do the sorting. Best villager trades, ranked by the numbers puts every trade in order by emeralds per item — including the rates that only look good — and what a Mending villager really costs works out where the 10 to 38 emerald range for a Mending book comes from, and how curing a zombie villager cuts it.

Leveling, Restocking & Cheaper Trades

Villagers climb five levels as they trade — Novice, Apprentice, Journeyman, Expert and Master, at 0, 10, 70, 150 and 250 experience — unlocking new offers and, for the smiths, enchanted diamond gear at the top. Trades restock up to twice a day when the villager can reach its workstation, so keep the job block close and unblocked. For discounts, nothing beats curing a zombie villager: a Splash Potion of Weakness and a golden apple turn it back, and it remembers the favour with a permanent price cut on everything it sells.
