Glass Pane in villager trading

Glass Pane is a raw-material trade: villagers pay emeralds for it, which makes it a candidate for an automated emerald farm rather than something you purchase back.

A crafting grid makes 16 at a time from 6 × glass. Breaking a placed one back out needs Silk Touch.

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. 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 Glass Pane

A villager only shows part of its trade table, so knowing who trades glass pane is not the same as getting it. The friendliest roll here is the cartographer (apprentice): 25% of them carry it, so it takes about 4 of them on average before one does.

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 Glass Pane, and at what price

To sell Glass Pane for emeralds, bring it to a Cartographer at the Apprentice tier (11 units per 1 emerald).

Is trading Glass Pane worth it?

The best rate any villager offers is an emerald per 11 glass panes, from the Cartographer, and 1 of the other 2 pays out faster. No villager sells glass pane back, so it is emeralds out and nothing in.

Glass Pane against the other 71 ways to earn an emerald

One slot at the Cartographer takes 11 glass panes a trade, 12 trades, 12 emeralds. 8 of the 72 villagers that pay emeralds, emptied out:

How Glass Pane trading works

Every glass pane 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 glass pane shows up is the Cartographer's Apprentice tier, level 2 of five, which a villager reaches at 10 trade experience. A freshly employed one is 1 tier short of offering glass pane at all.

How long Glass Pane takes in real time

132 glass panes empty one slot at the Cartographer, 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 cartographer moves 264 glass panes against 24 emeralds a Minecraft day, 11 glass panes every 50 real seconds, 1.2 emeralds a real minute. 64 glass panes fit inside one of those slots, refill untouched.

Tips for trading Glass Pane

Glass Pane trading FAQ

How many glass panes make an emerald?
11 glass panes at the best rate any villager offers, from the Cartographer at the Apprentice tier. That slot runs 12 trades before it locks, so one villager takes 132 of them per restock.
Which villager sells Glass Pane?
None. Glass Pane is bought from you rather than sold to you, so trading is a way to turn it into emeralds and not a way to obtain it.
