Dark Oak Boat in villager trading

Dark Oak Boat is a raw-material trade: villagers pay emeralds for it, which makes it a candidate for an automated emerald farm rather than something you purchase back.

A crafting grid makes one from 5 × dark oak planks.

Your odds of finding Dark Oak Boat

A villager only shows part of its trade table, so knowing who trades dark oak boat is not the same as getting it. The friendliest roll here is the fisherman (master): 33% of them carry it, so it takes about 3 of them on average before one does.

Chance and daily throughput per villager for Dark Oak Boat
Villager	Tier	Villagers with this offer	Rolls to see it	Most from one villager	After a cure
Fisherman	Master	33% (2 in 6)Bedrock does not state a draw	about 3	24 emeralds a day2 restocks a day	no change

The chance is the draw size over the pool size in the game's own trade set file for that tier. The day figure is the trade's use limit times the 2 restocks a villager is allowed per in-game day (Villager.allowedToRestock), so it is a ceiling and not an average: it assumes you are there for every restock. Counted from the game's own draw sizes. How that check works.

Who trades Dark Oak Boat, and at what price

Is trading Dark Oak Boat worth it?

The best rate any villager offers is an emerald for a single dark oak boat, from the Fisherman, and 1 of the other 10 pays out faster. No villager sells dark oak boat back, so it is emeralds out and nothing in.

How Dark Oak Boat trading works

Every dark oak boat offer here locks after 12 uses, and a villager restocks up to twice per Minecraft day, so one is good for 24 of these trades a day and no more.

The earliest dark oak boat shows up is the Fisherman's Master tier, level 5 of five, which a villager reaches at 250 trade experience. A freshly employed one is 4 tiers short of offering dark oak boat at all.

How long Dark Oak Boat takes in real time

12 dark oak boats empty one slot at the Fisherman, 2400 ticks (Villager.allowedToRestock) at 20 a second (TickRateManager) refill it 2 real minutes later, and the 24000-tick villager day (Timelines) holds 2 of those fills in 20 real minutes.

So one fisherman moves 24 dark oak boats against 24 emeralds a Minecraft day, a dark oak boat every 50 real seconds, 1.2 emeralds a real minute. 27 dark oak boats take 3 fills across 2 Minecraft days, 2 minutes of it watching the fisherman walk back to its barrel.
