Diamond Hoe in villager trading
Diamond Hoe 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.
Diamond Hoe is top-tier diamond equipment; villager trading is a steady way to acquire it without mining the diamonds yourself, and the version sold here comes already enchanted. A crafting grid makes one from 2 × diamond and 2 × stick.

Your odds of finding Diamond Hoe
A villager only shows part of its trade table, so knowing who trades diamond hoe is not the same as getting it. The friendliest roll here is the toolsmith (journeyman): 40% of them carry it, so it takes about 2.5 of them on average before one does.
| Villager | Tier | Villagers with this offer | Rolls to see it | Most from one villager | After a cure |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Toolsmith | Journeyman | 40% (2 in 5)Bedrock 25% (1 in 4) | about 2.5 | 6 diamond hoe a day2 restocks a day | 1 emeraldwas 4, 3 off |
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 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. The cure column is 125 reputation times the trade's own multiplier, floored, and never takes a cost below one. Counted from the game's own draw sizes. How that check works.
Buying a diamond hoe against making it
The game's recipe makes one, made from 2 diamonds and 2 sticks. Villagers here buy every one of those, so the parts have a price of their own: diamond at 1 an emerald and stick at 32 an emerald. That puts one at 2.06 emeralds of goods.
A Toolsmith sells a diamond hoe at Journeyman for 4 emeralds. That is 1.9 times what the parts are worth, so gathering the materials and making it yourself is the cheaper side of the same trade.
Recipe out of data/minecraft/recipe in the same client jar the trades are read from. Part prices are the best rate any villager on this site pays, before any cure discount, and each of those is a trade with a page of its own. How that check works. The grid itself is on the diamond hoe recipe page.
Who trades Diamond Hoe, and at what price
To buy Diamond Hoe, visit a Toolsmith at the Journeyman tier (4 emeralds).
Is trading Diamond Hoe worth it?
Diamond Hoe sells for as little as 4 emeralds, from the Toolsmith at the Journeyman tier, and 4 of the other 11 cost less. The price is fixed rather than rolled, so a second Toolsmith will quote you exactly the same.

What 4 emeralds cost in goods
The Toolsmith at its journeyman tier asks 4 emeralds for a diamond hoe. 8 of the 72 villagers that pay emeralds, emptied out:
| A full slot of | To | Emeralds | Buys |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12 acacia boats | master Fisherman | 12 | 3 diamond hoes |
| 48 iron ingots | apprentice Weaponsmith | 12 | 3 diamond hoes |
| 72 pumpkins | apprentice Farmer | 12 | 3 diamond hoes |
| 108 glass bottles | expert Cleric | 12 | 3 diamond hoes |
| 132 glass panes | apprentice Cartographer | 12 | 3 diamond hoes |
| 240 coal | novice Armorer | 16 | 4 diamond hoes |
| 288 gray wool | novice Shepherd | 16 | 4 diamond hoes |
| 312 flint | apprentice Leatherworker | 12 | 3 diamond hoes |
4 acacia boats against 104 flint for the same 4 emeralds, 26 times the carrying, and the shortest wait is the Armorer at 2.5 real minutes of shelf, gathering not counted.
How Diamond Hoe trading works
Every diamond hoe offer here locks after 3 uses, and a villager restocks up to twice per Minecraft day, so one is good for 6 of these trades a day and no more.
The earliest diamond hoe shows up is the Toolsmith's Journeyman tier, level 3 of five, which a villager reaches at 70 trade experience. A freshly employed one is 2 tiers short of offering diamond hoe at all.
How long Diamond Hoe takes in real time
3 diamond hoes empty one slot at the Toolsmith, 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 toolsmith moves 6 diamond hoes against 24 emeralds a Minecraft day, a diamond hoe every 3.3 real minutes, 1.2 emeralds a real minute. 27 diamond hoes take 9 fills across 5 Minecraft days, 8 minutes of it watching the toolsmith walk back to its smithing table.
