Stone in villager trading
Stone 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.
Stone is a building block. The Mason offers polished and processed stone variants that would otherwise need a stonecutter and raw materials to produce. A furnace turns cobblestone into it, one for one. Breaking a placed one back out needs Silk Touch. One stone on a crafting grid becomes one stone button.

Your odds of finding Stone
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mason | Apprentice | 100% (2 in 2)Bedrock -50% (-1 in 2) | none, it is always there | 32 emeralds a day2 restocks a day | 14 stonewas 20, 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 Stone, and at what price
To sell Stone for emeralds, bring it to a Mason at the Apprentice tier (20 units per 1 emerald).
Is trading Stone worth it?
The best rate any villager offers is an emerald per 20 stone, from the Mason, and nothing else on that list asks for more. No villager sells stone back, so it is emeralds out and nothing in.

Stone against the other 71 ways to earn an emerald
One slot at the Mason takes 20 stone a trade, 16 trades, 16 emeralds. 8 of the 72 villagers that pay emeralds, emptied out:
| A full slot of | To | Emeralds | Worth in Stone |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12 acacia boats | master Fisherman | 12 | 240 stone |
| 48 iron ingots | apprentice Toolsmith | 12 | 240 stone |
| 48 scutes | expert Leatherworker | 12 | 240 stone |
| 120 dried kelp blocks | expert Butcher | 12 | 240 stone |
| 192 any dye | expert Shepherd | 16 | 320 stone |
| 240 coal | novice Armorer | 16 | 320 stone |
| 288 black wool | novice Shepherd | 16 | 320 stone |
| 288 flint | journeyman Weaponsmith | 12 | 240 stone |
16 acacia boats against 384 flint for the same 16 emeralds, 24 times the carrying, and the shortest wait is the Shepherd at 10 real minutes of shelf, gathering not counted. Stone itself pays 20 an emerald, so 57 of the 72 ask less and 12 ask more.
How Stone trading works
Every stone 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 stone shows up is the Mason's Apprentice tier, level 2 of five, which a villager reaches at 10 trade experience. A freshly employed one is 1 tier short of offering stone at all.
How long Stone takes in real time
320 stone empty one slot at the Mason, 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 mason moves 640 stone against 32 emeralds a Minecraft day, 20 stone every 37.5 real seconds, 1.6 emeralds a real minute. 64 stone fit inside one of those slots, refill untouched.
Tips for trading Stone
- One villager, one restock: the Mason pays an emerald per 20 stone and that slot runs 16 trades, so 320 stone (5 full stacks) is all one will take before it locks, for 16 emeralds in total.
- Where they go back: that Mason also sells bricks, 10 for 1 emerald, its cheapest offer.
- Also on the Mason's list: chiseled stone bricks, granite, andesite, diorite, polished andesite, polished granite.
