What does the Toolsmith trade in Minecraft?

It buys coal, iron ingots, flint, and diamonds, and sells 4 stone tools, a bell, 3 enchanted iron tools, a plain diamond hoe, and 3 enchanted diamond tools, across all 5 of its career tiers and 16 trades in total. It is the only one of the three smiths that starts at stone-tier tools rather than iron, which keeps the earliest purchases cheap enough for a fresh survival world.

What workstation does the Toolsmith need?

A Smithing Table. An unemployed adult villager takes the job as soon as one is placed nearby, and drops it again if the block is removed before it has completed a trade. Keep the workstation in range afterward too, since the villager returns to it to restock its slots rather than refilling on its own.

How do you unlock every Toolsmith trade?

Through trading XP. It reaches Apprentice at 10, Journeyman at 70, Expert at 150, and Master at 250 cumulative XP, with the enchanted iron tools unlocking as a group at Journeyman and the diamond pickaxe held back for Master alone, well after the plain diamond hoe becomes available.

Does the Toolsmith ever sell a plain iron pickaxe, shovel, or hoe?

No, and neither does any other villager in the game. The trade tables have no unenchanted iron pickaxe, shovel, or hoe trade at all; this profession offers only the enchanted versions of the pickaxe and shovel, both at Journeyman. Anyone who wants the plain iron version of any of these three tools has to craft it instead of trading for it.

Does the Toolsmith sell an enchanted diamond hoe?

The toolsmith sells a plain diamond hoe at journeyman for 4 emeralds. The only enchanted diamond tool a villager sells is the pickaxe, at master. The other three diamond tools it sells, the axe, shovel, and pickaxe, all carry a random enchantment; the hoe is the one exception on the whole list.

Is the Toolsmith the only source of an enchanted iron pickaxe?

Practically, yes. It sells one reliably at Journeyman for a price fixed by whatever enchantment gets rolled. The Wandering Trader can also roll one into his rare pool, but he never restocks it, offers it at random alongside five other rare trades, and vanishes after roughly forty to sixty minutes, so the toolsmith is the only dependable route if you actually need one on demand.

What's the cheapest thing the Toolsmith sells?

Any of the Novice-tier stone tools, each 1 emerald, open from the moment the villager takes the job with no leveling required. All four, axe, shovel, pickaxe, and hoe, share that same one-emerald price, so there is no reason to shop around between them.

Is the bell this Toolsmith sells any different from the one other smiths carry?

No. It charges the same 36 emeralds at Apprentice as the Armorer and the Weaponsmith. There is no cheaper of the three; trade with whichever is closest, since the offer, price, and tier are identical everywhere it appears.

What does the Toolsmith do with the diamonds it buys?

Nothing you can see directly; it buys raw diamonds at Expert purely as an emerald sink, the same way every profession absorbs a headline material. Those purchases are separate from the enchanted diamond pickaxe it sells at Master, which comes out of its own stock rather than the diamonds you sold it.

How many times can you buy an enchanted tool before the Toolsmith restocks?

3 purchases per slot, the limit shared by every enchanted iron and enchanted diamond tool on this villager's list. The plain stone tools and the bell are far deeper, running 12 uses before locking, and the coal buy offer stretches furthest at 16. Because the enchanted slots run out so fast, players who want a specific pickaxe or axe roll often keep two or three untraded toolsmiths on hand rather than waiting on one villager's restock.

TOOLSMITH

What is the Toolsmith?

The Toolsmith runs a Smithing Table, and unlike the other two smiths it starts you at the bottom of the tech tree rather than the top: its Novice tier sells 4 stone tools for next to nothing, before jumping straight past plain iron gear into enchanted iron once it reaches Journeyman. Across 5 tiers and 16 offers, this profession never once lists an unenchanted iron axe, shovel, pickaxe, or hoe. Nobody does; that step of the tool tier simply is not for sale anywhere in the game.

What it does sell that nothing else does: 3 enchanted iron tools ( enchanted iron axe, enchanted iron shovel, enchanted iron pickaxe). Only the pickaxe among them has a second source at all, turning up for 6 to 20 emeralds in the Wandering Trader's uncommon pool, and that copy never restocks and vanishes for good once he despawns. The axe and shovel versions exist nowhere but this counter.

Its oddest listing is the diamond hoe at Journeyman: unlike every other diamond tool on its Master shelf, this one carries no enchantment at all. The toolsmith sells a plain diamond hoe at journeyman for 4 emeralds. The only enchanted diamond tool a villager sells is the pickaxe, at master. Placing the smithing table beside a jobless villager hands it this whole career path; pulling the block back out before a trade closes returns the villager to being unemployed, and its clothing does not vary by biome the way an armorer's does.

Novice to Master: what the climb costs

A Toolsmith does not level up on time served, it levels up on trading XP, and each of its offers pays a fixed amount of it. That makes the climb a countable thing rather than a chore: 19 trades take one from Novice to Master if you use the offer that pays most at every tier, and the tiers below say which offer that is.

The fewest trades that take a Toolsmith from Novice to Master, tier by tier
Climb	XP	Offer that pays most	Trades	You hand over	You get back
Novice to Apprentice	10	The coal offer, 2 XP a useon 40% of toolsmiths at this tier	5	75 coal	5 emeralds
Apprentice to Journeyman	60	The iron ingot offer, 10 XP a use	6	24 iron ingots	6 emeralds
Journeyman to Expert	80	The flint offer, 20 XP a useon 40% of toolsmiths at this tier	4	120 flint	4 emeralds
Expert to Master	100	The diamond offer, 30 XP a useon 67% of toolsmiths at this tier	4	4 diamonds	4 emeralds
Novice to Master	250	no restock needed	19	75 coal, 24 iron ingots, 120 flint and 4 diamonds	19 emeralds

The bill for the whole climb is 75 coal, 24 iron ingots, 120 flint and 4 diamonds. It pays for itself: 19 emeralds more than you started with by the time it is Master. No offer in the route runs past what its slot holds, so a Toolsmith with full stock can be walked all the way up in one sitting.

Counted, not timed. The XP each offer pays is the xp field of its own trade file, the 10, 60, 80, 100 XP between the tiers is VillagerData.NEXT_LEVEL_XP_THRESHOLDS, and the prices and use counts are the table above. Where a tier has more than one offer paying the top rate, the route takes the one any villager can hold, then the one that pays rather than costs, then the cheapest. XP over the line is not lost, it counts toward the next tier, so no trade in the route is wasted. How that check works.

Toolsmith trades by tier (Novice to Master)

A Toolsmith climbs five career ranks, and each rank it reaches adds a fresh batch of offers on top of the ones below it. The experience gates are fixed: the Novice tier opens immediately with 5 offers, 10 more trade-XP points unlock Apprentice (2 offers), 60 more trade-XP points unlock Journeyman (5 offers), 80 more trade-XP points unlock Expert (3 offers), and 100 more trade-XP points unlock Master (1 offer). The full price list for every rank is laid out below; emerald costs marked as a range roll randomly within that band each time the trade is generated or restocked.

Toolsmith trading tips

Skip the Novice shelf if you can already swing a crafting table: this toolsmith charges 1 emerald for a stone tool. The ingredients behind one, 3 stone and 2 stick, are worth roughly 0.2 emeralds combined at the best rate anyone pays for either, so this tier is worth visiting mainly to bank the villager's first trading XP cheaply, not to save on tools you can craft in seconds.

The real reason to level this smith up is Journeyman, where 30 flint buys the trading slot open and three enchanted iron tools unlock at once. Save emeralds for whichever of the three you actually need; there is no reason to buy all of them off one villager when a second, untraded one can be leveled up to roll different enchantments.

Re-roll before buying: every enchanted offer here is randomized the moment its tier opens, and stays open to reshuffling until the first completed trade. Break and replace the smithing table on an unemployed, untraded villager to get a fresh roll, and check what is even possible at enchantments.astroworldmc.com before committing.

Cure it for a discount: a zombie infection on Hard difficulty, a safe trap, a Splash Potion of Weakness, then a Golden Apple drops every price on this villager's list once the cure finishes, including the enchanted diamond pickaxe. The full method is in the zombie-villager discount guide.

Leveling costs 10 XP to leave Novice, 70 for Journeyman, 150 for Expert, and 250 for Master, the last rung being the only place the enchanted diamond pickaxe appears at all. Selling coal at Novice is the fastest way to bank early XP if the stone tools alone are not enough.

Locking and resetting: the first completed trade fixes this villager's list for good. Reset while it is still Novice and untraded by removing the smithing table and handing it back for a fresh Novice sheet. That is also the only way to fish for a better enchantment on the enchanted iron pickaxe, since the Wandering Trader's copy of it never restocks either. Full steps in the villager rolling guide.

One tool never appears with an enchantment on it: the enchanted diamond hoe is absent from the trade files, so the plain hoe is as far as his diamond line goes.
