View on Items Database →Brick in villager trading
Brick is something you buy from villagers rather than sell to them; it does not appear as a raw-material trade, so trading is one of the few survival-friendly ways to stock up on it.
Brick is a building block. The Mason offers polished and processed stone variants that would otherwise need a stonecutter and raw materials to produce.
Only the Mason deals in it, so any trading hall that supplies Brick is built around that one profession. Brick can also be obtained outside of trading, but buying it from a villager is often faster than gathering or smelting the ingredients yourself.
Villagers that sell Brick(you give emeralds, get Brick)
| Profession | Level | Price | Amount | Edition | Notes |

| Mason | Novice |  1 Emerald | 10x |
Who trades Brick, and at what price
To buy Brick, visit a Mason at the Novice tier (1 emerald, 10 per trade).
Is trading Brick worth it?
On the demand side, the cheapest a villager will sell brick for is 1 emerald for 10 at a time (the Mason). Stack multiple villagers offering it, or cure one for a discount, and you can pull large quantities cheaply.
How Brick trading works
Every Brick trade follows Minecraft's standard supply-and-demand rules. A trade can be used a limited number of times — 16 for the slot in question — before it greys out and locks until the villager restocks. A villager restocks up to twice per in-game day, but only if it can path to its job-site block and "work" there, which is why a trading hall must leave the workstation reachable.
Buying brick repeatedly nudges its price up: heavy demand temporarily inflates the emerald cost, and the price drifts back down over time or resets when the villager restocks. Curing the villager from zombie form, or triggering the Hero of the Village effect, applies a discount on top of that, which is the cheapest way to acquire brick in bulk.
One caution: the first trade you complete with a fresh villager permanently locks its current offers, including the brick slot at whatever price it rolled. If you are chasing a specific price, decide before you trade, because there is no re-rolling a villager once it has done business with you.
Tips for trading Brick
- Cheapest source: the Mason sells brick for 1 emerald once it reaches the Novice tier, the lowest emerald cost recorded for this item.
- Cure for a discount: curing a zombie villager of the relevant profession permanently slashes its prices, so brick can often drop to a single emerald. See how.
- Lock the price: once you complete a trade the offer is fixed, so a cheap roll of brick stays cheap for that villager. Reset only happens on never-traded Novice villagers via the rolling method.
