A cleric is a villager that trades magic items like ender pearls, redstone dust, glowstone, and other enchanting or potion ingredients. Clerics wear a purple robe featuring a creeper emblem on the back.
Spawning
An unemployed villager turns into a cleric when an unclaimed brewing stand is nearby.
Natural generation
The workstation of clerics, the brewing stand, spawns in temples in villages.
Igloos
Igloo basements always generate with one villager in the left cell and one zombie villager in the right cell. There is also a brewing stand in an igloo basement.
In Java Edition, the generated zombie villager is always a cleric, but becomes unemployed once cured. The villager is always unemployed. The brewing stand can turn an unemployed villager into a cleric once it can pathfind to it.
In Bedrock Edition, the villager has a random profession and the zombie villager is unemployed. The villager can change its profession to cleric due to the nearby brewing stand; the same applies to the zombie villager once it is cured.
Drops
In Java Edition, a cleric can drop various items by throwing them as a gift towards a nearby player with the Hero of the Village effect. The gift is randomly selected from the following list:
