The Ultimate Minecraft 1.20 Villager Trading Guide | Best Trades, Trading Hall, Zombifying & More

[@Eyecraftmc]

Additional Zombification Info: You can kill the villager with any undead mob, also you need to be in hard difficulty or the zombified villager could die instead of convert, additionally if you give the undead mob a powerful sword instead of a block it will still not despawn and it will kill the villager much quicker.

The easiest way to get emeralds I've found without having a super complicated farm is trading sticks with fletchers and trading glass panes with cartographers, ridiculously easy to get hundreds of emeralds

[@jameswesten2018]

I've been trading glass panes with cartographers, and the amount he wants keeps going up, started with 11 panes for 1 emerald, now he's up to 62 panes for 1 emerald.

[@LLLadySSS]

Or buy bookshelves from librarians and trade them for books. If both cost 1 emerald you can turn 1 emerald in 12 emerald in one go

[@justinmacias1696]

Melon / Pumpkin auto farms are really not too bad to build if you’re ok with mining a decent bit of iron, quartz, and red stone. It’s really nice to be able to afk and come back for easy emerald trades. One round of zombification makes even a small pumpkin / melon afk setup incredibly lucrative.

[@jameswesten2018]

@@kevooo1250 I haven't went back since the trade got that high, but I wonder if it's not resetting cuz my only village is a couple hundred blocks from my home

[@Zyrexia]

16:18 Let me make his point clear as many of you might be confused about villager despawning. When there is a hostile mob and if you go 128 blocks away from it. it will instant despawn. and if more than 32 blocks away for 30+ seconds, it will despawn. and zombie villagers are technically a hostile mob. however, if you have at least traded once with the villager before zombification, they won't despawn at all. HOWEVER, Any mob in a minecart/Boat do NOT despawn under any circumstances. Just make sure the zombie villagers are undead mob and burn in sunlight, so they may burn. Make sure you have a roof and you are fine.

[@shadowpanther298]

Or just make ianxofour’s raid farm which takes 15 minutes and makes 3k emeralds an hour xD

[@ruzhecheng7585]

Another easy way to get the weakness effect is to trade weakness tipped arrows from fletcher, just remember to use an unenchanted bow and pull it lightly so it does not kill the zombie villager.

You can just make their little cubical three high, three long, and one wide. Take them out of the minecart once you get them in the trading post, and put a bed down behind them. That way they can sleep but there’s three open spaces for standing so they don’t suffocate when they wake up again

I'd say selling sticks for Emerald on a Fletcher is also an amazing trade. It's really not that difficult to get yourself many stacks of sticks and thus have an easily renewable source of Emeralds just from getting wood. Of course if you have farms setup to easily mass produce other items that they buy, that works too, but I feel like that is just one of the easiest things to mass produce in any stage of the game so you can get yourself a lot of Emeralds.

[@szymonmazur5029]

Hopefully someone sees this: As of 1.20.2 (Java), there is no longer any discount stacking with the villager zombifying system. Only one big discount after a single cure and nothing after that. As per Mojang - “Curing a Zombie Villager now only gives a big discount the first time. There is no longer a bonus discount for reinfecting and curing the same Villager multiple times.” Wish I would’ve known this before wasting my weakness potions and golden apples on my villagers.

I think they should heavily nerf the villager zombification process, and instead put it on the Raid mechanic. Saving the village from multiple raids to get heavily discounted prices makes way more sense than repeatedly zombifying a whole village.

[@astonhesketh3460]

The amount of effort you put into your guides is like no other. 👏 This has inspired me to build a grand exchange in my survival.

[@lostbot1406]

Have been waiting for this 😫

[@DreamBlissYT]

Slight correction needed here... From my experience multiple villagers can (and do) claim the same job block. The best way I found to block this is using a gate or fence in front of the block, with the villager using it behind the fence inside your typical "pod". I am about to experiment with how many blocks empty space, using trap doors on the underside of a 2-block high entrance/exit. That is one thing I learned that may be of interest to others, another thing is that all job blocks have to be placed on the ground (same level as villager feet) in order for a villager to attach to them. If you put a brewing stand on a block, for example, the villagers can not, and will not, attach to it.

[@zordah]

False. I put my brewing stand on a block and because the villager could jump up beside it the villager turned into a cleric. Now if the villager cannot jump up to stand next to it then yeah it won't work.

[@DreamBlissYT]

@@zordah Thank you for clarifying this more. I should also add that I can't find how or why sometimes two villagers grab the same block. I have not been able to repeat this in testing.

[@dominicbeales7319]

Do you know when making trading halls do you need to keep the villagers in close proximity to a village or does it not matter?

[@DreamBlissYT]

@@dominicbeales7319 It doesn't matter. I actually moved the center of a village (bell) into a trading hall! Now, in Vault Hunters, gonna make a village where there isn't one and do it again. You just don't want Iron and Raid Farms inside your main trading halls or villages.

I'm having issues with this. When I place the work station, the villagers won't assign themselves to it, and the villagers that I've previously locked in the trades on don't restock their items when they're in the trading hall. Is this an issue for 1.19 or is it something else? Edit: I solved it, I think. You must basically have the entire room empty, with just one villager, and assign every villager a workstation one villager at a time. If they're all in the same room, they will "distract" each other or I guess attempt to use the same workstation.

[@o2consumer16]

It’s good to let villagers have line of sight to each other to gossip. They exchange info that lowers your prices as you trade,
