Ocean Explorer Map in villager trading
Ocean Explorer Map 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.
Ocean Explorer Map is generated against your current world, pointing toward the nearest matching structure. It is created the moment you trade for it, so two players receive maps to different locations.

Your odds of finding Ocean Explorer Map
A villager only shows part of its trade table, so knowing who trades ocean explorer map is not the same as getting it. The friendliest roll here is the cartographer (journeyman): 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cartographer | Journeyman | 67% (2 in 3)same in Bedrock | about 1.5 | 24 ocean explorer map a day2 restocks a day | 1 emeraldwas 13, 12 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.

What 13 emeralds cost in goods
The Cartographer at its journeyman tier asks 13 emeralds for an ocean explorer map. 8 of the 72 villagers that pay emeralds, emptied out:
| A full slot of | To | Emeralds | Buys |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12 oak boats | master Fisherman | 12 | 0.9 ocean explorer maps |
| 24 book and quills | expert Librarian | 12 | 0.9 ocean explorer maps |

| 288 flint | journeyman Weaponsmith | 12 | 0.9 ocean explorer maps |
13 oak boats against 312 flint for the same 13 emeralds, 24 times the carrying, and the shortest wait is the Butcher at 8.1 real minutes of shelf, gathering not counted.
How Ocean Explorer Map trading works
Every ocean explorer map 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 ocean explorer map shows up is the Cartographer'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 ocean explorer map at all.
How long Ocean Explorer Map takes in real time
12 ocean explorer maps empty one slot at the Cartographer, 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 cartographer moves 24 ocean explorer maps against 312 emeralds a Minecraft day, an ocean explorer map every 50 real seconds, 15.6 emeralds a real minute. 27 ocean explorer maps take 3 fills across 2 Minecraft days, 2 minutes of it watching the cartographer walk back to its cartography table.
Tips for trading Ocean Explorer Map
- Clearing the shelf: one Cartographer sells 12 ocean explorer maps before it has to restock, 156 emeralds for the full slot.
- Where the emeralds come from: the same Cartographer pays an emerald for a single compass.
- Cure before a big buy: 156 emeralds for one full slot is enough that curing a zombie cartographer first, which cuts its prices permanently, pays for the golden apple many times over. How curing works.
- Also on the Cartographer's list: trial chambers map, item frame, banner, banner pattern (globe), woodland explorer map, paper.
