Leather Leggings in villager trading
Leather Leggings 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.
Leather Leggings is the weakest armour tier but the easiest to obtain. A Leatherworker dyes it to match the village's biome, so the colour you receive depends on where the villager lives. A crafting grid makes one from 7 × leather.

Your odds of finding Leather Leggings
A villager only shows part of its trade table, so knowing who trades leather leggings is not the same as getting it. The friendliest roll here is the leatherworker (novice): 67% of them carry it, so it takes about 1.5 of them on average before one does.
| Villager | Tier | Villagers with this offer | Rolls to see it | Most from one villager | After a cure |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Leatherworker | Novice | 67% (2 in 3)Bedrock 50% (1 in 2) | about 1.5 | 24 leather leggings a day2 restocks a day | 1 emeraldwas 3, 2 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.
Buying leather leggings against making it
The game's recipe makes one, made from 7 leather. Villagers here buy every one of those, so the parts have a price of their own: leather at 6 an emerald. That puts one at 1.17 emeralds of goods.
A Leatherworker sells leather leggings at Novice for 3 emeralds. That is 2.6 times what the parts are worth, so gathering the materials and making it yourself is the cheaper side of the same trade.
Recipe out of data/minecraft/recipe in the same client jar the trades are read from. Part prices are the best rate any villager on this site pays, before any cure discount, and each of those is a trade with a page of its own. How that check works. The grid itself is on the leather leggings recipe page.
Who trades Leather Leggings, and at what price
To buy Leather Leggings, visit a Leatherworker at the Novice tier (3 emeralds).
Is trading Leather Leggings worth it?
Leather Leggings sells for as little as 3 emeralds, from the Leatherworker at the Novice tier, and nothing else on the list costs less. The price is fixed rather than rolled, so a second Leatherworker will quote you exactly the same.

What 3 emeralds cost in goods
The Leatherworker at its novice tier asks 3 emeralds for leather leggings. 8 of the 72 villagers that pay emeralds, emptied out:
| A full slot of | To | Emeralds | Buys |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12 lava buckets | journeyman Armorer | 12 | 4 leather leggings |
| 24 rabbit feet | journeyman Cleric | 12 | 4 leather leggings |
| 48 scutes | expert Cleric | 12 | 4 leather leggings |
| 108 rabbit hides | journeyman Leatherworker | 12 | 4 leather leggings |
| 224 raw chicken | novice Butcher | 16 | 5.3 leather leggings |

| 320 stone | apprentice Mason | 16 | 5.3 leather leggings |
| 416 potatoes | novice Farmer | 16 | 5.3 leather leggings |
3 lava buckets against 78 potatoes for the same 3 emeralds, 26 times the carrying, and the shortest wait is the Butcher at 1.9 real minutes of shelf, gathering not counted.
How Leather Leggings trading works
Every leather leggings 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 leather leggings shows up is the Leatherworker's Novice tier, which a villager has the moment it claims the workstation.
How long Leather Leggings takes in real time
12 leather leggings empty one slot at the Leatherworker, 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 leatherworker moves 24 leather leggings against 72 emeralds a Minecraft day, leather leggings every 50 real seconds, 3.6 emeralds a real minute. 27 leather leggings take 3 fills across 2 Minecraft days, 2 minutes of it watching the leatherworker walk back to its cauldron.
Tips for trading Leather Leggings
- Clearing the shelf: one Leatherworker sells 12 leather leggings before it has to restock, 36 emeralds for the full slot.
- Where the emeralds come from: the same Leatherworker pays an emerald per 6 leather.
- Also on the Leatherworker's list: leather tunic, flint, leather cap, leather boots, rabbit hide, leather horse armor.
