Yellow Candle in villager trading
Yellow Candle 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.
A crafting grid makes one from 1 × candle and 1 × yellow dye.

Your odds of finding Yellow Candle
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Librarian | Master | 100% (2 in 2)Bedrock 25% (1 in 4) | none, it is always there | 24 yellow candle a day2 restocks a day | 1 emeraldwas 3, 2 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 Yellow Candle, and at what price
To buy Yellow Candle, visit a Librarian at the Master tier (3 emeralds).
Is trading Yellow Candle worth it?
Yellow Candle sells for as little as 3 emeralds, from the Librarian at the Master tier, and 3 of the other 6 cost less. The price is fixed rather than rolled, so a second Librarian will quote you exactly the same.
What 3 emeralds cost in goods
The Librarian at its master tier asks 3 emeralds for a yellow candle. 8 of the 72 villagers that pay emeralds, emptied out:
| A full slot of | To | Emeralds | Buys |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12 oak boats | master Fisherman | 12 | 4 yellow candles |
| 24 rabbit feet | journeyman Cleric | 12 | 4 yellow candles |
| 48 scutes | expert Cleric | 12 | 4 yellow candles |
| 108 rabbit hides | journeyman Leatherworker | 12 | 4 yellow candles |
| 208 raw salmon | journeyman Fisherman | 16 | 5.3 yellow candles |
| 288 black wool | novice Shepherd | 16 | 5.3 yellow candles |
| 320 stone | apprentice Mason | 16 | 5.3 yellow candles |
| 312 flint | apprentice Fletcher | 12 | 4 yellow candles |
3 oak boats against 78 flint for the same 3 emeralds, 26 times the carrying, and the shortest wait is the Fisherman at 1.9 real minutes of shelf, gathering not counted.
How Yellow Candle trading works
Every yellow candle 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 yellow candle shows up is the Librarian's Master tier, level 5 of five, which a villager reaches at 250 trade experience. A freshly employed one is 4 tiers short of offering yellow candle at all.
How long Yellow Candle takes in real time
12 yellow candles empty one slot at the Librarian, 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 librarian moves 24 yellow candles against 72 emeralds a Minecraft day, a yellow candle every 50 real seconds, 3.6 emeralds a real minute. 64 yellow candles take 6 fills across 3 Minecraft days, 6 minutes of it watching the librarian walk back to its lectern.
Tips for trading Yellow Candle
- Clearing the shelf: one Librarian sells 12 yellow candles before it has to restock, 36 emeralds for the full slot.
- Where the emeralds come from: the same Librarian pays an emerald per 2 book and quills.
- Also on the Librarian's list: red candle, paper, bookshelf, enchanted book, book, lantern.
