Enchanted Crossbow in villager trading

Enchanted Crossbow 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 crossbow 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 Crossbow

A villager only shows part of its trade table, so knowing who trades enchanted crossbow is not the same as getting it. The friendliest roll here is the fletcher (master): 67% of them carry it, so it takes about 1.5 of them on average before one does.

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 Crossbow, and at what price

To buy Enchanted Crossbow, visit a Fletcher at the Master tier (8-22 emeralds).

Is trading Enchanted Crossbow worth it?

Enchanted Crossbow sells for anywhere between 8 and 22 emeralds, from the Fletcher at the Master tier, and nothing else on that list costs more. That is a rolled price rather than a fixed one, so the Fletcher you happen to find matters more than the tier does.

What 8 emeralds cost in goods

The Fletcher at its master tier asks 8 emeralds for an enchanted crossbow, on its cheapest roll. 8 of the 72 villagers that pay emeralds, emptied out:

How Enchanted Crossbow trading works

Every enchanted crossbow 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 crossbow shows up is the Fletcher'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 enchanted crossbow at all.

The emerald price is rolled per villager, anywhere from 8 to 22, which is why two Fletchers side by side can quotedifferent numbers for the same enchanted crossbow. 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 Crossbow takes in real time

3 enchanted crossbows 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 crossbows against 48 emeralds a Minecraft day, an enchanted crossbow every 3.3 real minutes, 2.4 emeralds a real minute. 27 enchanted crossbows take 9 fills across 5 Minecraft days, 8 minutes of it watching the fletcher walk back to its fletching table.

Tips for trading Enchanted Crossbow

  • Clearing the shelf: one Fletcher sells 3 enchanted crossbows before it has to restock, 24 to 66 emeralds for the full slot.
  • Where the emeralds come from: the same Fletcher pays an emerald per 8 tripwire hooks.
  • Also on the Fletcher's list: tipped arrow, stick, arrow, flint, gravel, bow.

Enchanted Crossbow trading FAQ

How much does Enchanted Crossbow cost from a villager?
8-22 emeralds from the Fletcher at the Master tier. The price is rolled per villager, so a second Fletcher can quote anything in that range.
Can you sell Enchanted Crossbow to a villager for emeralds?
No. Enchanted Crossbow only appears on the selling side of the trade window: villagers hand it over for emeralds, none of them take it back.
