Firefly Bush in Minecraft trading

Firefly Bush is a Wandering Trader exclusive: no job villager buys or sells it at all, so the roaming merchant with the two llamas is the only source, at 3 emeralds each.

No recipe in Java 26.2 produces it: it is gathered from the world rather than made.

Your odds of finding Firefly Bush

A villager only shows part of its trade table, so knowing who trades firefly bush is not the same as getting it. The friendliest roll here is the wandering trader (common pool): 6.6% of them carry it, so it takes about 15.2 of them on average before one does.

Chance and daily throughput per villager for Firefly Bush
Villager	Tier	Villagers with this offer	Rolls to see it	Most from one villager	After a cure
Wandering Trader	common pool	6.6% (5 in 76)same in Bedrock	about 15.2	12 firefly bush in totalhe never restocks	cannot be cured

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 wandering trader has no workstation and never restocks, so his row is everything that offer will ever give you, and he has no reputation to earn, so curing does nothing for him. Counted from the game's own draw sizes. How that check works.

Who trades Firefly Bush, and at what price

The Wandering Trader sells Firefly Bush for 3 emeralds each. He does not buy firefly bush back: that offer runs one way.

Is buying Firefly Bush from the Wandering Trader worth it?

He asks 3 emeralds each, and 56 of the other 75 come cheaper. Price is the easy part: he draws his stock from a shared pool, so catching one that happens to be carrying firefly bush is the real constraint.

How to actually get Firefly Bush from the trader

The Wandering Trader is not part of any village. He arrives on his own near where you are playing, with two leashed trader llamas behind him, stays for roughly forty minutes to an hour, and then vanishes whether or not you traded with him. There is no workstation to place and no job block to break, so the usual tricks for steering a villager toward a particular offer do nothing.

He does not buy firefly bush. He takes six kinds of item and this is not one of them, so the offer runs one way: emeralds out of your inventory, firefly bush into it.

Each trader carries only a slice of the full stock list, so the one standing in front of you may simply not have firefly bush today. If he does and you want more than one visit's worth, put a name tag on him: a named mob will not despawn, which turns a passing merchant into a permanent shop you can come back to.

Tips for trading Firefly Bush

What a full stack costs: he asks 3 emeralds each, so a full stack of 64 comes to 192 emeralds.
Also on the wandering trader's list: golden dandelion, name tag, packed ice, blue ice, gunpowder, podzol.

Firefly Bush trading FAQ

Which villager sells Firefly Bush?

None of them. Only the Wandering Trader carries firefly bush, at 3 emeralds each. There is no profession to level for it and no trading hall to build.

Can you sell Firefly Bush to a villager for emeralds?

No. The trader only ever sells, and no job villager lists firefly bush in its trade table either, so there is no way to turn firefly bush into emeralds by trading.
