Enchanted Bow in villager trading
Enchanted Bow 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.
As enchanted equipment, enchanted bow arrives pre-enchanted, letting you skip the enchanting table and the experience levels it would normally cost. The specific enchantment and its level are decided when the trade generates.

The 1 trade on this item was read out of the trade files Minecraft Java 26.2 ships in its own data, checked on against the item, both amounts and the use limit. Every one of them has a price the game rolls per villager, so the range is what it can roll rather than a fixed number. Bedrock 1.26.30.5 is read as well, and where it disagrees the row says how. Which files, and what is not checked.
Your odds of finding Enchanted Bow
Every villager listed below shows this trade: their tier draws its whole pool, so there is nothing to roll for. What is left to plan is throughput.
| Villager | Tier | Villagers with this offer | Rolls to see it | Most from one villager | After a cure |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fletcher | Expert | 100% (2 in 2)same in Bedrock | none, it is always there | 6 enchanted bow a day2 restocks a day | 1 emeraldwas 7, 6 off |
The enchantment on it is not fixed. The game runs the same roll an enchanting table would at level 5 to 19, drawing from the 36 enchantments in #minecraft:on_traded_equipment, and adds what that enchantment is worth to the price. That is why this trade has a price band instead of a number, and why two villagers at the same tier can ask different amounts for the same item.
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.
Who trades Enchanted Bow, and at what price
To buy Enchanted Bow, visit a Fletcher at the Expert tier (7-21 emeralds).
Is trading Enchanted Bow worth it?
Enchanted Bow sells for anywhere between 7 and 21 emeralds, from the Fletcher at the Expert tier, and 3 of the other 4 cost less. That is a rolled price rather than a fixed one, so the Fletcher you happen to find matters more than the tier does.

What 7 emeralds cost in goods
The Fletcher at its expert tier asks 7 emeralds for an enchanted bow, on its cheapest roll. 8 of the 72 villagers that pay emeralds, emptied out:
| A full slot of | To | Emeralds | Buys |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12 diamonds | journeyman Armorer | 12 | 1.7 enchanted bows |
| 48 iron ingots | apprentice Weaponsmith | 12 | 1.7 enchanted bows |
| 64 raw rabbit | novice Butcher | 16 | 2.3 enchanted bows |
| 160 coal | novice Fisherman | 16 | 2.3 enchanted bows |
| 192 any dye | apprentice Shepherd | 16 | 2.3 enchanted bows |
| 240 coal | novice Armorer | 16 | 2.3 enchanted bows |
| 384 feathers | expert Fletcher | 16 | 2.3 enchanted bows |
| 384 paper | novice Librarian | 16 | 2.3 enchanted bows |
7 diamonds against 168 paper for the same 7 emeralds, 24 times the carrying, and the shortest wait is the Butcher at 4.4 real minutes of shelf, gathering not counted.
How Enchanted Bow trading works
Every enchanted bow 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 enchanted bow shows up is the Fletcher's Expert tier, level 4 of five, which a villager reaches at 150 trade experience. A freshly employed one is 3 tiers short of offering enchanted bow at all.
The emerald price is rolled per villager, anywhere from 7 to 21, which is why two Fletchers side by side can quotedifferent numbers for the same enchanted bow. That is a spread of 14 emeralds between the best and the worst draw, and breaking and replacing the fletching table gives you another one, but only until that villager has traded with you once. How re-rolling works.
How long Enchanted Bow takes in real time
3 enchanted bows empty one slot at the Fletcher, 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 fletcher moves 6 enchanted bows against 42 emeralds a Minecraft day, an enchanted bow every 3.3 real minutes, 2.1 emeralds a real minute. 27 enchanted bows take 9 fills across 5 Minecraft days, 8 minutes of it watching the fletcher walk back to its fletching table.
