Emeralds are minerals that are used primarily as the currency for trading with villagers and wandering traders.

Obtaining

Mining

Emerald ore drops one emerald when mined using an iron pickaxe or better. If the pickaxe is enchanted with Fortune, it may drop an extra emerald per level of Fortune, up to a maximum of 4 emeralds with Fortune III. If the ore is mined using a pickaxe enchanted with Silk Touch, it drops itself in ore form instead of as an emerald.

Trading

Emeralds can be obtained by trading with villagers and wandering traders, since they are the currency that villagers use for trading. Villagers and wandering traders buy various goods in return for emeralds. Trading is typically a faster way to obtain emeralds than by mining, as an emerald ore is rarer than a diamond ore.

  1. ↑ In Java Edition only one is requested per trade because of MC-248042 — Librarian's book and quill trade is always discounted to 1 since books are unstackable. In Bedrock Edition, the second book is placed in another slot instead.
  2. ↑ The type of boat trade depends on the biome outfit of the villager. Plains villagers buy oak boats, taiga and snowy villagers buy spruce boats, desert and jungle villagers buy jungle boats, savanna villagers buy acacia boats, and swamp villagers buy dark oak boats.

  1. ↑ a b c d The enchantment is chosen randomly with equal chance of any enchantment type occurring (except for Soul Speed, Swift Sneak, and Wind Burst) and equal chance to get any level of the enchantment, meaning high-level enchantments are as likely as low-level enchantments. It is possible for a librarian to sell the same book more than once. The price in emeralds depends on the enchantment level and "treasure" status. The minimum price of a book is given by 2 + 3 * (enchantment level), while the maximum price is 6 + 13 * (enchantment level). The possible values are 5–19 emeralds for Lvl I, 8–32 for Lvl II, 11–45 for Lvl III, 14–58 for Lvl IV, and 17–71 for Lvl V. For treasure enchantments the price is doubled. The cost is capped at 64 emeralds. All values below this cap are equally probable.
  2. ↑ The stew gives 6 seconds of Blindness in Java Edition, or 5 seconds of Night Vision in Bedrock Edition.
  3. ↑ The stew gives 8 seconds of Jump Boost in Java Edition, or 5 seconds of Night Vision in Bedrock Edition.
  4. ↑ The stew gives 5 seconds of Night Vision.
  5. ↑ The stew gives 14 seconds of Poison in Java Edition, or 5 seconds of Night Vision in Bedrock Edition.
  6. ↑ The stew gives 0.35 seconds of Saturation in Java Edition, or 5 seconds of Night Vision in Bedrock Edition.
  7. ↑ The stew gives 7 seconds of Weakness in Java Edition, or 5 seconds of Night Vision in Bedrock Edition.
  8. ↑ The price of this trade is the base price, 2 emeralds, plus the random enchantment level chosen (5–19).
  9. ↑ a b When creating an enchantment offer, the game uses a random enchantment level from 5 to 19. The enchantments are never treasure enchantments.
  10. ↑ The price of this trade is the base price, 3 emeralds, plus the random enchantment level chosen (5–19).
  11. ↑ In Java Edition, the type of arrow is chosen randomly from all possible brewable potions with effects, including extended and strengthened versions.
    In Bedrock Edition, the type of arrow is randomly chosen from 15 options: Night Vision, Invisibility, Leaping, Fire Resistance, Swiftness, Slowness, Water Breathing, Healing, Harming, Poison, Regeneration, Strength, Weakness, Turtle Master, or Decay (Level 2).
  12. ↑ a b c d The list of possible offers contains individual offers for each color, so multiple colors may be offered by the same villager as separate trades.
  13. ↑ The price of this trade is the base price, 3 emeralds, plus the random enchantment level chosen (5–19).
  14. ↑ When creating an enchantment offer, the game uses a random enchantment level from 5 to 19. The enchantments are never treasure enchantments.
  15. ↑ The price of this trade is the base price, 14 emeralds, plus the random enchantment level chosen (5–19).
  16. ↑ a b c d When creating an enchantment offer, the game uses a random enchantment level from 5 to 19. The enchantments are never treasure enchantments.
  17. ↑ a b The price of this trade is the base price, 8 emeralds, plus the random enchantment level chosen (5–19).
  18. ↑ The price of this trade is the base price, 16 emeralds, plus the random enchantment level chosen (5–19).
  19. ↑ a b c d e f g The leather armor has a random color created by two dyes (possibly the same dye twice.)
  20. ↑ The structure that the map leads to depends on the biome the villager is from. Each of the three possible maps are counted as independent trades, so a villager trading multiple maps is possible.
  21. ↑ a b In Java Edition, all copies of the map traded by a particular villager lead to the same structure. In worlds that do not have the structure, this trade is not offered. In Bedrock Edition, cartographers adopting the profession in the Nether or the End do not offer explorer maps.
  22. ↑ The list of possible offers contains individual offers for each color, so multiple colors may be offered by the same villager as separate trades.
  23. ↑ Duration: 8:00
  24. ↑ The price of this trade is the base price, 1 emerald, plus the random enchantment level chosen (5–19).
