Stick in villager trading
Stick 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 4 at a time from 2 × planks. It also sits in 5 of the game's chest loot tables.

Your odds of finding Stick
A villager only shows part of its trade table, so knowing who trades stick is not the same as getting it. The friendliest roll here is the fletcher (novice): 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fletcher | Novice | 67% (2 in 3)Bedrock 100% (1 in 1) | about 1.5 | 32 emeralds a day2 restocks a day | 26 stickwas 32, 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.
Who trades Stick, and at what price
To sell Stick for emeralds, bring it to a Fletcher at the Novice tier (32 units per 1 emerald).
Is trading Stick worth it?
The best rate any villager offers is an emerald per 32 sticks, from the Fletcher, and nothing else on that list asks for more. No villager sells stick back, so it is emeralds out and nothing in.

Stick against the other 71 ways to earn an emerald
One slot at the Fletcher takes 32 sticks a trade, 16 trades, 16 emeralds. 8 of the 72 villagers that pay emeralds, emptied out:
| A full slot of | To | Emeralds | Worth in Stick |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12 acacia boats | master Fisherman | 12 | 384 sticks |
| 24 book and quills | expert Librarian | 12 | 384 sticks |
| 48 scutes | expert Cleric | 12 | 384 sticks |
| 96 tripwire hooks | master Fletcher | 12 | 384 sticks |
| 208 raw salmon | journeyman Fisherman | 16 | 512 sticks |
| 240 coal | novice Toolsmith | 16 | 512 sticks |
| 352 carrots | novice Farmer | 16 | 512 sticks |
| 288 flint | journeyman Weaponsmith | 12 | 384 sticks |
16 acacia boats against 384 flint for the same 16 emeralds, 24 times the carrying, and the shortest wait is the Fisherman at 10 real minutes of shelf, gathering not counted. Stick itself pays 32 an emerald, so 70 of the 72 ask less and 0 ask more.
How Stick trading works
Every stick offer here locks after 16 uses, and a villager restocks up to twice per Minecraft day, so one is good for 32 of these trades a day and no more.
The earliest stick shows up is the Fletcher's Novice tier, which a villager has the moment it claims the workstation.
How long Stick takes in real time
512 sticks empty one slot at the Fletcher, 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 fletcher moves 1024 sticks against 32 emeralds a Minecraft day, 32 sticks every 37.5 real seconds, 1.6 emeralds a real minute. 64 sticks fit inside one of those slots, refill untouched.
Tips for trading Stick
- One villager, one restock: the Fletcher pays an emerald per 32 sticks and that slot runs 16 trades, so 512 sticks (8 full stacks) is all one will take before it locks, for 16 emeralds in total.
- Where they go back: that Fletcher also sells arrows, 16 for 1 emerald, its cheapest offer.
- Also on the Fletcher's list: flint, gravel, bow, string, crossbow, feather.
