Granite in villager trading

Granite 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.

Granite is a building block. The Mason offers polished and processed stone variants that would otherwise need a stonecutter and raw materials to produce. A crafting grid makes one from 1 × diorite and 1 × quartz.

Your odds of finding Granite

A villager only shows part of its trade table, so knowing who trades granite is not the same as getting it. The friendliest roll here is the mason (journeyman): 29% of them carry it, so it takes about 3.5 of them on average before one does.

Chance and daily throughput per villager for Granite
Villager	Tier	Villagers with this offer	Rolls to see it	Most from one villager	After a cure
Mason	Journeyman	29% (2 in 7)Bedrock -50% (-1 in 2)	about 3.5	32 emeralds a day2 restocks a day	10 granitewas 16, 6 off

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 Granite, and at what price

To sell Granite for emeralds, bring it to a Mason at the Journeyman tier (16 units per 1 emerald).

Is trading Granite worth it?

The best rate any villager offers is an emerald per 16 granite, from the Mason, and 4 of the other 5 pay out faster. No villager sells granite back, so it is emeralds out and nothing in.

What the Mason pays for, best rate first
	Clay BallNovice		10
	Nether QuartzExpert		12
	AndesiteJourneyman		16
	DioriteJourneyman		16
	GraniteJourneyman		16
	StoneApprentice		20

Units you hand over per emerald, so a shorter bar is a better deal. Every other row links to that item.

Granite against the other 71 ways to earn an emerald

One slot at the Mason takes 16 granite a trade, 16 trades, 16 emeralds. 8 of the 72 villagers that pay emeralds, emptied out:

16 acacia boats against 384 paper for the same 16 emeralds, 24 times the carrying, and the shortest wait is the Butcher at 10 real minutes of shelf, gathering not counted. Granite itself pays 16 an emerald, so 50 of the 72 ask less and 19 ask more.

How Granite trading works

Every granite offer here locks after 16 uses, and a villager restocks up to twice per Minecraft day, so one is good for 32 of these trades a day and no more.

The earliest granite shows up is the Mason's Journeyman tier, level 3 of five, which a villager reaches at 70 trade experience. A freshly employed one is 2 tiers short of offering granite at all.

How long Granite takes in real time

256 granite empty one slot at the Mason, 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 mason moves 512 granite against 32 emeralds a Minecraft day, 16 granite every 37.5 real seconds, 1.6 emeralds a real minute. 64 granite fit inside one of those slots, refill untouched.

Tips for trading Granite

One villager, one restock: the Mason pays an emerald per 16 granite and that slot runs 16 trades, so 256 granite (4 full stacks) is all one will take before it locks, for 16 emeralds in total.
Where they go back: that Mason also sells bricks, 10 for 1 emerald, its cheapest offer.
Also on the Mason's list: andesite, diorite, polished andesite, polished granite, polished diorite, dripstone block.

Granite trading FAQ

How many granite make an emerald?

16 granite at the best rate any villager offers, from the Mason at the Journeyman tier. That slot runs 16 trades before it locks, so one villager takes 256 of them per restock.

Which villager sells Granite?

None. Granite 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.
