Acacia Sapling in Minecraft trading

Acacia Sapling is a Wandering Trader exclusive: no job villager buys or sells it at all, so the roaming merchant with the two llamas is the only source, at 5 emeralds each.

Acacia Sapling grows into a full tree, so a single one is effectively an unlimited supply of that wood once you plant it and let it drop more saplings. No recipe in Java 26.2 produces it: it comes out of acacia leaves, 5% of the time, 10% with Fortune III.

Your odds of finding Acacia Sapling

A villager only shows part of its trade table, so knowing who trades acacia sapling is not the same as getting it. The friendliest roll here is the wandering trader (common pool): 6.6% of them carry it, so it takes about 15.2 of them on average before one does.

Chance and daily throughput per villager for Acacia Sapling
Villager	Tier	Villagers with this offer	Rolls to see it	Most from one villager	After a cure
Wandering Trader	common pool	6.6% (5 in 76)same in Bedrock	about 15.2	8 acacia sapling in totalhe never restocks	cannot be cured

The chance is the draw size over the pool size in the game's own trade set file for that tier. The Bedrock line under it is the same sum on Bedrock's own table, which splits a tier into groups and draws out of each one separately, so the two editions often disagree. The wandering trader has no workstation and never restocks, so his row is everything that offer will ever give you, and he has no reputation to earn, so curing does nothing for him. Counted from the game's own draw sizes. How that check works.

Who trades Acacia Sapling, and at what price

The Wandering Trader sells Acacia Sapling for 5 emeralds each. He does not buy acacia sapling back: that offer runs one way.

No standard villager profession lists Acacia Sapling in its trade table, so the trader above is the whole market for it.

Is buying Acacia Sapling from the Wandering Trader worth it?

He asks 5 emeralds each, and 63 of the other 75 come cheaper. Price is the easy part: he draws his stock from a shared pool, so catching one that happens to be carrying acacia sapling is the real constraint.

What 5 emeralds cost in goods

The Wandering Trader asks 5 emeralds for an acacia sapling. 8 of the 72 villagers that pay emeralds, emptied out:

8 emerald routes measured against Acacia Sapling
A full slot of	To	Emeralds	Buys
12 lava buckets	journeyman Armorer	12	2.4 acacia saplings

416 potatoes	novice Farmer	16	3.2 acacia saplings

5 lava buckets against 130 potatoes for the same 5 emeralds, 26 times the carrying, and the shortest wait is the Mason at 3.1 real minutes of shelf, gathering not counted.

How to actually get Acacia Sapling from the trader

The Wandering Trader is not part of any village. He arrives on his own near where you are playing, with two leashed trader llamas behind him, stays for roughly forty minutes to an hour, and then vanishes whether or not you traded with him. There is no workstation to place and no job block to break, so the usual tricks for steering a villager toward a particular offer do nothing.

He does not buy acacia sapling. He takes six kinds of item and this is not one of them, so the offer runs one way: emeralds out of your inventory, acacia sapling into it.

Each trader carries only a slice of the full stock list, so the one standing in front of you may simply not have acacia sapling today. If he does and you want more than one visit's worth, put a name tag on him: a named mob will not despawn, which turns a passing merchant into a permanent shop you can come back to.

Acacia Sapling trading FAQ

Which villager sells Acacia Sapling?

None of them. Only the Wandering Trader carries acacia sapling, at 5 emeralds each. There is no profession to level for it and no trading hall to build.

Can you sell Acacia Sapling to a villager for emeralds?

No. The trader only ever sells, and no job villager lists acacia sapling in its trade table either, so there is no way to turn acacia sapling into emeralds by trading.
