Players can trade in-game with villagers and Wandering Traders, swapping Emeralds for items they need (or swapping items they don’t need in exchange for emeralds!) Villagers with professions are willing to buy or sell items but Wandering Traders will not buy items.
Players can simply approach a villager with a profession, or a Wandering Trader, and tap use to bring up a menu and start trading. The only villagers players cannot trade with are Nitwits or unemployed villagers.

Players can increase each Villager’s career level by trading with them, and when players trade with them they both gain experience. The experience gained by a player from trading depends on whether the villager is willing to breed or not. Normally the experience is between 3-6, or if the villager is willing to breed it is between 8-11. As villagers gain experience they increase in level from Novice to Master:
| Level | Experience Required |
| 1. Novice | 0 |
| 2. Apprentice | 10 |
| 3. Journeyman | 70 |
| 4. Expert | 150 |
| 5. Master | 250 |
As well as Emeralds, a villager’s profession dictates what items they trade:
| Villager Type | Buys | Sells |
| Farmer | Wheat, Potato, Carrot, Pumpin, Melon | Bread, Pumpkin Pie, Apple, Cookie, Cake |
| Fisherman | String, Coal | Cooked Fish, Enchanted Fishing Rod |
| Shepherd | White Wool | Shears, Coloured Wool |
| Fletcher | String | Arrows, Bow, Flint, Gravel |
| Librarian | Paper, Book, Written Book | Enchanted Book, Compass, Bookshelf, Clock, Nametag |
| Cleric | Rotten Flesh, Gold Ingot | Redstone Dust, Lapis Lazuli, Eye of Ender, Glowstone, Bottle O’Enchanting |
| Armorer | Coal, Iron Ingot, Diamond | Iron Helmet, Iron Chestplate, Enchanted Diamond Chestplate, Chainmail Helmet, Chainmail Chestplate, Chainmail Boots, Chainmail Leggings |
| Weaponsmith | Coal, Iron Ingot, Diamond | Iron Axe, Enchanted Sword, Enchanted Diamond Sword, Enchanted Diamond Axe |
| Toolsmith | Coal, Iron Ingot, Diamond | Enchanted Iron Shovel, Enchanted Iron Pickaxe, Enchanted Diamond Pickaxe |
| Butcher | Raw Porkchop Raw Chicken, Coal | Cooked Porkchop, Cooked Chicken, |
| Leatherworker | Leather | Leather Pant, Enchanted Leather Tunic, Saddle |
TIP: The Hero of the Village effect temporarily reduces prices within that village for that specific player who defeated the raid.
