Pale Oak Log in Minecraft trading

Pale Oak Log 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 for 8.

No recipe in Java 26.2 produces it: it is gathered from the world rather than made.

Your odds of finding Pale Oak Log

A villager only shows part of its trade table, so knowing who trades pale oak log is not the same as getting it. The friendliest roll here is the wandering trader (uncommon pool): 13% of them carry it, so it takes about 7.5 of them on average before one does.

Chance and daily throughput per villager for Pale Oak Log
Villager	Tier	Villagers with this offer	Rolls to see it	Most from one villager	After a cure
Wandering Trader	uncommon pool	13% (2 in 15)same in Bedrock	about 7.5	32 pale oak log in total4 uses, he 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.

Who trades Pale Oak Log, and at what price

The Wandering Trader sells Pale Oak Log for 1 emerald for 8 (rare stock). He does not buy pale oak log back: that offer runs one way.

No standard villager profession lists Pale Oak Log in its trade table, so the trader above is the whole market for it.

Is buying Pale Oak Log from the Wandering Trader worth it?

He asks 1 emerald for 8, which works out at well under an emerald each, and 7 of the other 75 come cheaper. Price is the easy part: he draws a rare slot from a shared pool, so catching one that happens to be carrying pale oak log is the real constraint.

How to actually get Pale Oak Log 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 pale oak log. He takes six kinds of item and this is not one of them, so the offer runs one way: emeralds out of your inventory, pale oak log 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 pale oak log 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 Pale Oak Log

Also on the wandering trader's list: enchanted iron pickaxe, water bottle, water bucket, milk bucket, fermented spider eye, baked potato.

Pale Oak Log trading FAQ

Which villager sells Pale Oak Log?

None of them. Only the Wandering Trader carries pale oak log, at 1 emerald for 8, and from his rare stock at that. There is no profession to level for it and no trading hall to build.

Can you sell Pale Oak Log to a villager for emeralds?

No. The trader only ever sells, and no job villager lists pale oak log in its trade table either, so there is no way to turn pale oak log into emeralds by trading.
