How villager trading actually works

Trades worth looking at first

Every one of the 233 items villagers trade has its own page with the villagers that trade it, the prices, the odds and what the trade is worth against making the thing yourself. These are the ones people look up most.

Where these numbers come from

Villager trading FAQ

1. 

   How many villager trades are there in Minecraft?

   This database holds 258 of them: every offer from the 13 village jobs across all five ranks, plus the wandering trader's own list. Java 26.3 is the edition the numbers describe.

2. 

   Which villager is the fastest way to earn emeralds?

   The Fletcher, because sticks cost two planks and he buys them in bulk at his opening rank. The Farmer is the steadier one over a long session, since a wheat or carrot field keeps producing while a stick supply depends on how much wood you are cutting.

3. How often do villagers restock their trades?

   Twice in a Minecraft day, which is 20 minutes of real time, and never within 120 seconds of the previous restock. The villager has to reach its workstation to do it, so a blocked or missing workstation is the usual reason a trade stays locked out.

4. Why do two villagers with the same job offer different trades?

   Because each rank draws its offers from a pool rather than a fixed list. A Novice Librarian rolls a single enchanted book out of the whole enchantment table, which is why rolling a lectern over and over is a strategy at all.

5. 

   Does curing a zombie villager really lower prices?

   Yes, and it is the largest discount in the game: one cure is worth 125 reputation with that villager. The discount is applied to each trade separately rather than as a flat percentage off the list, and a second cure adds less than the first.

6. 

   Are the trades the same in Java and Bedrock?

   Mostly, but not everywhere. Every row here is checked against Bedrock 1.26.50.4 as well, and where the two editions hand out different amounts or put the offer at a different rank, the row says so.

7. 

   Can you stop a villager from changing its trades?

   Trade with it once. A villager that has never traded will drop its job and pick a new one if its workstation is broken, which is what lets you reroll offers. After the first trade the job is locked to that villager for good.

8. Why did a villager put its prices up?

   Because you emptied the same offer. Every trade keeps a count of how hard it is being used: at a restock it gains the uses you spent and loses the ones you left alone, and the price of the first thing you hand over goes up by that count times the trade's own price multiplier, rounded down. Nothing about it is permanent. Leave the offer alone for a day or two and the same sum takes the price back down, and no trade can ever climb past a full stack.

9. 

   Does Hero of the Village make villagers cheaper?

   Yes, and it is the one discount that treats every trade the same. Winning a raid takes 30% off the first thing you hand over at the first level of the effect and 6.25% more per level above it, never less than 1 item. Curing works out its discount from reputation and the trade's own multiplier, this one ignores both, and the two are added rather than picked between.

10. 

    What does the wandering trader sell?

    Spawns randomly near players with two leashed trader llamas. Buys six kinds of item and sells plants, saplings, blocks and a few rarities. Each trader draws 2 buying trades, 5 common offers and 2 uncommon ones, and never restocks. Despawns after 40 to 60 minutes. Has no workstation or levels. His stock is a sample rather than a fixed list, so two traders that spawn on the same day rarely carry the same things.
