Nether Wart in villager trading
Nether Wart 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.
Nether Wart is a farmable crop. Large automated farms make it trivial to mass-produce, which is exactly why villagers buying it form the backbone of most emerald farms. No recipe in Java 26.2 produces it: it is gathered from the world rather than made.

Your odds of finding Nether Wart
Every villager listed below shows this trade: their tier draws its whole pool, so there is nothing to roll for. What is left to plan is throughput.
| Villager | Tier | Villagers with this offer | Rolls to see it | Most from one villager | After a cure |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cleric | Master | 100% (2 in 2)same in Bedrock | none, it is always there | 24 emeralds a day2 restocks a day | 16 nether wartwas 22, 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.

12 acacia boats against 360 flint for the same 12 emeralds, 30 times the carrying, and the shortest wait is the Fisherman at 7.5 real minutes of shelf, gathering not counted. Nether Wart itself pays 22 an emerald, so 60 of the 72 ask less and 10 ask more.
How Nether Wart trading works
Every nether wart 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 nether wart shows up is the Cleric's Master tier, level 5 of five, which a villager reaches at 250 trade experience. A freshly employed one is 4 tiers short of offering nether wart at all.
How long Nether Wart takes in real time
264 nether wart empty one slot at the Cleric, 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 cleric moves 528 nether wart against 24 emeralds a Minecraft day, 22 nether wart every 50 real seconds, 1.2 emeralds a real minute. 64 nether wart fit inside one of those slots, refill untouched.
