Lily of the Valley in Minecraft trading

Lily of the Valley 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 1 emerald each.

Lily of the Valley is a small decorative plant, and its practical use is dye. No recipe in Java 26.2 produces it: it is gathered from the world rather than made. One lily of the valley on a crafting grid becomes one white dye.

Your odds of finding Lily of the Valley

A villager only shows part of its trade table, so knowing who trades lily of the valley 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 Lily of the Valley
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	7 lily of the valley 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.

How to actually get Lily of the Valley 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 lily of the valley. He takes six kinds of item and this is not one of them, so the offer runs one way: emeralds out of your inventory, lily of the valley 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 lily of the valley 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 Lily of the Valley

What a full stack costs: he asks 1 emerald each, so a full stack of 64 comes to 64 emeralds.
Also on the wandering trader's list: wheat seeds, beetroot seeds, pumpkin seeds, melon seeds, vine, brown mushroom.
