Tube Coral Block in Minecraft trading

Tube Coral Block 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 3 emeralds each.

No recipe in Java 26.2 produces it, and its own block only gives it back to Silk Touch.

Your odds of finding Tube Coral Block

A villager only shows part of its trade table, so knowing who trades tube coral block is not the same as getting it. The friendliest roll here is the wandering trader (common pool): 6.6% of them carry it, so it takes about 15.2 of them on average before one does.

Chance and daily throughput per villager for Tube Coral Block
Villager	Tier	Villagers with this offer	Rolls to see it	Most from one villager	After a cure
Wandering Trader	common pool	6.6% (5 in 76)same in Bedrock	about 15.2	8 tube coral block in totalhe 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.

How to actually get Tube Coral Block 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 tube coral block. He takes six kinds of item and this is not one of them, so the offer runs one way: emeralds out of your inventory, tube coral block 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 tube coral block 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 Tube Coral Block

What a full stack costs: he asks 3 emeralds each, so a full stack of 64 comes to 192 emeralds.
Also on the wandering trader's list: pale hanging moss, sulfur spike, rooted dirt, pale moss block, wildflowers, tall dry grass.
