Enchanted Iron Sword in villager trading

Enchanted Iron Sword 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 iron sword 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 11 August 2026 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 Iron Sword

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

Chance and daily throughput per villager for Enchanted Iron Sword
Villager	Tier	Villagers with this offer	Rolls to see it	Most from one villager	After a cure
Weaponsmith	Novice	67% (2 in 3)Bedrock 100% (1 in 1)	about 1.5	24 enchanted iron sword 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 Iron Sword, and at what price

To buy Enchanted Iron Sword, visit a Weaponsmith at the Novice tier (7-21 emeralds).

Is trading Enchanted Iron Sword worth it?

Enchanted Iron Sword sells for anywhere between 7 and 21 emeralds, from the Weaponsmith at the Novice tier, and 1 of the other 4 costs less. That is a rolled price rather than a fixed one, so the Weaponsmith you happen to find matters more than the tier does.

	Enchanted Iron SwordNovice		7-21

Emeralds asked per trade. Every other row links to that item.

What 7 emeralds cost in goods

The Weaponsmith at its novice tier asks 7 emeralds for an enchanted iron sword, on its cheapest roll. 8 of the 72 villagers that pay emeralds, emptied out:

How Enchanted Iron Sword trading works

Every enchanted iron sword 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 enchanted iron sword shows up is the Weaponsmith's Novice tier, which a villager has the moment it claims the workstation.

The emerald price is rolled per villager, anywhere from 7 to 21, which is why two Weaponsmiths side by side can quotedifferent numbers for the same enchanted iron sword. That is a spread of 14 emeralds between the best and the worst draw, and breaking and replacing the grindstone gives you another one, but only until that villager has traded with you once. How re-rolling works.

How long Enchanted Iron Sword takes in real time

12 enchanted iron swords empty one slot at the Weaponsmith, 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 weaponsmith moves 24 enchanted iron swords against 168 emeralds a Minecraft day, an enchanted iron sword every 50 real seconds, 8.4 emeralds a real minute. 27 enchanted iron swords take 3 fills across 2 Minecraft days, 2 minutes of it watching the weaponsmith walk back to its grindstone.

Tips for trading Enchanted Iron Sword

Clearing the shelf: one Weaponsmith sells 12 enchanted iron swords before it has to restock, 84 to 252 emeralds for the full slot.
Where the emeralds come from: the same Weaponsmith pays an emerald per 15 coal.
Cure before a big buy: 84 emeralds for one full slot is enough that curing a zombie weaponsmith first, which cuts its prices permanently, pays for the golden apple many times over. How curing works.
Also on the Weaponsmith's list: iron ingot, bell, flint, diamond, enchanted diamond axe, enchanted diamond sword.
