Oak Boat in villager trading
Oak Boat 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 one from 5 × oak planks.

Java 26.2
Bedrock 1.26.30.5
The oak boat is a plains trade: no other fisherman offers it, whatever its tier.
A villager's type is the biome it spawned in, so this is settled before you ever meet it. Read out of merchant_predicate in each trade's own file. How that check works.
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 Oak Boat
A villager only shows part of its trade table, so knowing who trades oak boat is not the same as getting it. The friendliest roll here is the fisherman (master): 33% of them carry it, so it takes about 3 of them on average before one does.
| Villager | Tier | Villagers with this offer | Rolls to see it | Most from one villager | After a cure |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fisherman | Master | 33% (2 in 6)Bedrock does not state a draw | about 3 | 24 emeralds a day2 restocks a day | no change |
The chance is the draw size over the pool size in the game's own trade set file for that tier. 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. Counted from the game's own draw sizes. How that check works.
Who trades Oak Boat, and at what price
To sell Oak Boat for emeralds, bring it to a Fisherman at the Master tier (1 unit per 1 emerald).
Is trading Oak Boat worth it?
The best rate any villager offers is an emerald for a single oak boat, from the Fisherman, and 3 of the other 10 pay out faster. No villager sells oak boat back, so it is emeralds out and nothing in.

Oak Boat against the other 71 ways to earn an emerald
One slot at the Fisherman takes 1 oak boat a trade, 12 trades, 12 emeralds. 8 of the 72 villagers that pay emeralds, emptied out:
| A full slot of | To | Emeralds | Worth in Oak Boat |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12 acacia boats | master Fisherman | 12 | 12 oak boats |
| 36 gold ingots | apprentice Cleric | 12 | 12 oak boats |
| 64 raw rabbit | novice Butcher | 16 | 16 oak boats |
| 108 glass bottles | expert Cleric | 12 | 12 oak boats |
| 132 glass panes | apprentice Cartographer | 12 | 12 oak boats |
| 240 coal | novice Weaponsmith | 16 | 16 oak boats |
| 352 carrots | novice Farmer | 16 | 16 oak boats |
| 288 paper | novice Cartographer | 12 | 12 oak boats |
12 acacia boats against 288 paper for the same 12 emeralds, 24 times the carrying, and the shortest wait is the Butcher at 7.5 real minutes of shelf, gathering not counted. Oak Boat itself pays 1 an emerald, so nothing in that table asks less and 62 ask more.
How Oak Boat trading works
Every oak boat 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 oak boat shows up is the Fisherman'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 oak boat at all.
How long Oak Boat takes in real time
12 oak boats empty one slot at the Fisherman, 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 fisherman moves 24 oak boats against 24 emeralds a Minecraft day, an oak boat every 50 real seconds, 1.2 emeralds a real minute. 27 oak boats take 3 fills across 2 Minecraft days, 2 minutes of it watching the fisherman walk back to its barrel.
Tips for trading Oak Boat
- One villager, one restock: the Fisherman pays an emerald for a single oak boat and that slot runs 12 trades, so 12 oak boats is all one will take before it locks, for 12 emeralds in total.
- Where they go back: that Fisherman also sells campfires at 2 emeralds each, its cheapest offer.
- Also on the Fisherman's list: spruce boat, jungle boat, acacia boat, dark oak boat, string, bucket of cod.
