Practical Guide
Version 1.14 revamps villager trading and introduces raids. Villager professions are defined by workstation blocks; raids are triggered by Bad Omen from patrol captains.
Practical Steps
- Villager professions: identify by job block (librarian = lectern, farmer = composter, etc.)
- Breeding: toss bread or crops to villagers to trigger breeding (one bed per infant)
- Trading: click on villager to open trade screen; emeralds are universal currency
- Librarian trades: offer enchanted books (Mending, Silk Touch, etc.) for emeralds
- Restocking: profession block near villager refreshes trades after 20 minutes
Pro Tips
- Librarian trades are cornerstone of survival progression; prioritize Mending first
- Discounts from Hero of the Village stack; 40% discount + reputation discount = steep savings
- Zombie villager curing: find zombie villager, trap, apply weakness + golden apple (3-minute cure)
- Patrol captains only spawn in Illager patrols (outside villages); hunt them for Bad Omen
- Raid farms require setup but yield evoker drops (enchanted books, totems of undying)
