Purpose [ ]

Villager trading halls maximize the number of villagers that can exist easily reached. They besides provide a fashion to rapidly discard unwanted villagers and replace the ones that are discarded. They tin can take the form of a literal "hall", with villagers lined up and waiting for the player to merchandise with them.

Mechanics [ ]

There are iii parts to a villager trading hall: the input, storage, and output.

Input [ ]

The villagers for a trading hall generally come from a villager breeder. A source anywhere else is impractical given the amount of endeavour exerted to transport villagers out of a village. More advanced designs can include areas for players to reroll trades or permanently reduce their costs past zombifying and curing them.

For a fully automatic arrangement, the machinery that puts the villager into the hall must be able to shut off the cell one time the villager enters to prevent more villagers from entering that cell, and to open the next cell to permit for a villager to enter.

Storage [ ]

Sometimes, the player volition want to keep a villager because it has valuable or worthwhile trades. These villagers must be accessed, then they stay in separate "cells" until a better villager comes along; at which point the player may wish to discard them. They must be protected from zombies, lightning, and other things that could bring harm to them. The villagers must also have workstation blocks nearby, so that they can restock their trades.

Output [ ]

A villager may come up forth with undesirable trades, or no trades at all. Also, a meliorate villager might come up forth that would replace ane that already exists in the hall. At this point, the player may wish to discard the villager, and the trading hall must provide a manner to practice so.

This discarding mechanism must be able to remove the villager from the prison cell and so open up it up to allow for more villagers to drop in.

Once a villager is discarded, it is upwardly to the thespian to practice what they desire with them. The most common thing to do is motility the discarded villagers into one area, where they are killed by whatever means suits the player. It is not recommended to kill them manually, considering that will lower the player's popularity, and if the popularity gets too low, any iron golems of that village get hostile toward that actor. An alternative to killing the discarded villagers is to store them for an fe golem farm, put them into a village, or put them to piece of work in farms and breeders.

Useful villagers [ ]

Butcher – Butchers buy raw meat for emeralds, which is useful if you accept animal farms. They as well purchase dried kelp blocks and sweet berries, easy-to-farm items. They sell cooked meat, which is useful if you lot don't want to use your coal, wood, or lava for cooking food.
Farmer – Farmers buy crops for emeralds. The best starting trades are carrots and potatoes, considering using fortune on the crop gives more carrots and potatoes respectively. This doesn't work on wheat or beetroot, every bit it only drops more seeds. They tin can also buy pumpkins and melons, which can exist farmed automatically without using villagers. The apples some sell at apprentice level can be converted into golden apples, for apply in curing villagers or as a defensive panic button for players. Master level farmers volition sell aureate carrots and glistering melons, providing valuable potion ingredients without the need for players to dip into their ain gilded reserves.
Fisherman – To a start player, a fisherman's trades can exist expensive, such as the villager buying coal and cord for emeralds. However, they can cook fish for you and sell campfires. A master level fisherman will buy a gunkhole for an emerald, significant that 2 logs can get you lot an emerald. As well, three emeralds can exist used to purchase a bucket of cod. A bucket is worth much more than 3 emeralds. They can even sell an enchanted line-fishing rod.
Librarian – Until yous accept a good sugarcane farm, the librarian's paper trade won't be worthwhile. However, i librarian tin can sell upwardly to iii enchanted books, which can be useful early on game. You can enchant tools with an anvil, or disenchant them to get bonus experience. Their utility tin can concluding or even increase well into the late game, as their enchanted books can exist a renewable source of treasure enchantments or other enchantments that are difficult to obtain consistently, such as Thorns 3. At journeyman level they provide an easy source of drinking glass, which a player can take for decoration, or, if they have large enough discounts, arts and crafts into panes and bottles and sell to cartographers and clerics respectively at a profit.
Cleric – Clerics sell exotic items, such every bit redstone, lapis lazuli, glowstone, and bottles of enchanting. They purchase rotten flesh, which is a proficient way of getting rid of your accumulated rotten mankind or if you have a pigman/mob farm. Clerics aren't a very skilful source of emeralds, especially in the early game, due to the difficulties associated with farming gold and nether wart. Furthermore, selling gold to clerics diverts it from potential use in bartering farms.
Rock Mason – Stone masons buy dirt, stone, and other rocks. This is an easy style to get emeralds specially if you lot have a Silk Touch pickaxe. Quartz is another good item to merchandise with if you lot accept a Fortune Three pickaxe. Still, don't trade likewise much dirt and other rocks if you have any apply for them, as other rocks are hard to farm until you have a bartering farm since you need quartz to arts and crafts other rocks. Clay is non renewable in BE, and it is hard to subcontract in Java edition. If you don't have a clay subcontract or dyes, stone masons tin also sell colored or glazed terracotta for decorative utilize.
Shepherd – Shepherds have one of the cheapest chore site blocks. They sell one colored wool for 1 emerald, and yous have a chance of getting brown, black, or white wool, which you lot demand to give the villager 18 to go one emerald. Their best utilize would be ownership shears, which cost ii emeralds. You lot tin also sell dye, which is like shooting fish in a barrel to obtain if you lot have a large supply of bonemeal or a blossom or even squid farm.
Leatherworker – Leatherworkers mostly offer bad trades, selling leather armor for an expensive price. However, they volition sell a saddle at principal level, and they are a practiced way to offload excess leather, which can be particularly useful if y'all have cow or hoglin farms which produce it as a byproduct.
Cartographer – Cartographers buy paper and glass panes. Glass panes are easy to get if you accept a machine smelter and a highly enchanted shovel. They too sell banner patterns, and explorer maps.
Fletcher – Fletchers are a good source of low-cost emeralds, because fletchers buy 32 sticks for one emerald. That is, four logs crafted into sticks can get you lot one emerald. They too sell arrows, enchanted bows, and crossbows.
Blacksmith – The 3 professions below vest in this category. They purchase the same things coal, iron, diamond, and lava, and they all sell bells. In the early game they can't be depended on for getting emeralds, since coal and iron are hard to farm, and diamond and lava are nonrenewable (Only <1.17). If y'all exercise have an iron farm, yet, these villagers can become a strong supplier of emeralds.
- Toolsmith – Sells stone, fe, and enchanted diamond tools. They always sell an enchanted diamond pickaxe at principal level.
- Weaponsmith – Sells iron and enchanted diamond swords and axes.
- Armorer – Sells iron, chainmail, and diamond armor. The diamond armor is enchanted, and y'all will go upwards to two different pieces. Chainmail boots and helmets cost 1 emerald. When combined with the fletcher's stick trade, or the fisherman's gunkhole trade, you can catechumen 2-iv wood logs into iron by selling a gunkhole or 32 sticks for an emerald, then buying chainmail boots/helmet and smelting information technology into a nugget.

Ornamentation [ ]

Fifty-fifty though you can simply create long, commonsensical halls with villagers locked up inside, yous can blueprint your trading halls to brand them look nicer. Here are a few suggestions:

Farmers – Make a barn and build the long hall inside. Give the villagers some crops and farmland. Sort them and so y'all know which villager sells/buys what. You can also requite your farmers more freedom, or accept your farmer trading location double as an automated crop farm. Take one expanse with beds, and another area with farmland, crops, and composters. Make sure the villagers buy the crops yous want. Break and supersede the composter until you get the trade y'all want. If you lot traded with that villager, he cannot change his trades. Accept individual farms outside the farmers' pen, and use those to go crops and sell them for emeralds.
Butchers – Build a butcher'south shop. Accept a row of smokers and a row of holes for you to trade with them. Build a roof, add counters, and add a chimney. Have item frames with axes/swords (knives) above the holes inside the trading hall. Have animal pens behind of the buildings.
Fishermen – Build multiple docks each with a bed and butt and bridges connecting them, or y'all can build i giant dock with many beds/barrels. Make sure the villagers can't fall into h2o.
Librarians – Build a library. Don't forget your building fashion. Include rows of bookshelves, chests with book and quills, and most importantly, the librarians. Build the long trading hallway in the library. Use bookshelves and oak fences.
Cleric – Make an exotic items store with a counter for the clerics. Mushrooms, fungus, chorus trees, or many of the items sold by wandering traders can be used to adorn it. If you really desire to go the extra mile yous can add pens or cages for brewing-related mobs such as zombies, pufferfish, or turtles, or merely exotic ones such as mooshrooms or striders. Consider including stained glass like to naturally generated temples. Alternatively, you can build a bar in a restaurant, perhaps with butchers working there also. (Clerics sell Bottles of Enchanting, which look like potions). Don't forget the brewing stands and beds. Make sure the villagers cannot escape.
Stone Mason – Try edifice mine shacks and have the rock masons work there, or employing them in the blacksmith. (For stone used to make stone tools).
Leatherworkers and Shepherds – Put them in a apparel shop, or have the leatherworker work in a stable (saddles). You can also have shepherds operate a sheep subcontract.
Cartographer – Build a building with a giant compass on the roof. Make it a map manufacturing plant, or cover the walls with clones of your maps gear up in item frames. Thematically this makes a bully location for a lodestone. Lock upward cartographers and make them trade with you.
Fletcher – Build a building with a giant bow and arrow symbol. It can be a fletching factory. Have bow/arrow product machines (won't do anything except decoration). You could fifty-fifty try edifice a connected archery range, with a fenced perimeter and target blocks.
Blacksmith – Build a blacksmith similar the one in the hamlet, but much bigger. Have an auto-smelter for decoration, and have smooth stone slab counters. If you accept a lot of iron, consider placing 1 or more anvils. Place the boom furnaces, grindstones, and smithing tables for the villagers to employ.
