How to Find and Create a Villager Librarian? 👨🏫
There are several ways to find or create a villager librarian. If you’re lucky, you can find them naturally spawned in villages. You can recognize them by the glasses on their eyes and their book-patterned clothing. But if you don’t want to leave things to chance, you can easily create your own librarian.

Step-by-Step Librarian Creation:
- Find an Unemployed Villager: You need a villager without any profession, wearing plain brown clothes. If all villagers in the village have a profession, you can break one of their job blocks (like a barrel, furnace) to make them unemployed.
- Craft a Lectern: The job block for a villager librarian is a lectern. You can easily make a lectern by combining 4 wooden slabs of any type and 1 bookshelf.
- Place the Lectern Near the Villager: Place the lectern near the unemployed villager. The villager will claim the lectern shortly after, and green sparkles will appear as they transform into a librarian.
✨ Pro Tip: Before making your first trade with the librarian, if you don’t like the first enchanted book they’re selling, break the lectern and place it again. The villager will become unemployed and when they claim the lectern again, their trades will reset. You can repeat this process until you find that valuable enchantment like “Mending”!
Librarian Villager Trades: Emeralds and Wisdom 💎
By trading with a villager librarian, you can level them up and unlock better offers. Here are all the trading options from novice to master:
| Level | Item You Give | Item You Get | Notes |
| Novice | 24 Paper | 1 Emerald | One of the easiest ways to farm emeralds. |
| 3 Emeralds + 1 Book | 1 Enchanted Book | This is the most important trade! Any enchantment can appear. | |
| Apprentice | 12 Books | 1 Emerald | |
| 1 Emerald | 1 Bookshelf | Great for decoration and enchanting tables. | |
| Journeyman | 5 Ink Sacs | 1 Emerald | |
| 1 Emerald | 4 Glass Blocks | ||
| Expert | 1 Book and Quill | 1 Emerald | |
| 1 Emerald | 1 Clock or 1 Compass | Randomly offers one of them. | |
| Master | 1 Emerald | 1 Name Tag | Priceless for naming monsters and animals! |
These trades are based on the official trade list from Minecraft Wiki and are valid for current versions of the game.
Why Are Librarians So Valuable? ✨
The villager librarian can literally elevate your progress in Minecraft to new heights. So why are they so indispensable?
- Unlimited Enchantment Access: You’re not bound by the randomness of enchanting tables. By patiently resetting their trades, you can obtain any enchantment in the game at its highest level (like Protection IV, Unbreaking III). It’s the only reliable source for the Mending enchantment, which cannot be obtained through any other means.
- Easy Emerald Source: Setting up a sugar cane farm is quite easy. Plenty of sugar cane turns into paper, and this paper becomes an endless source of emeralds thanks to your librarian.
- Access to Rare Items: Items like Name Tags, which are normally only found by chance in dungeon chests or through fishing, can be obtained guaranteed in exchange for emeralds. This is one of the most important mechanics that makes it easier for players to access rare resources.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) ❓
How do I get the enchanted book I want?
If you haven’t traded with the librarian yet, you can refresh their trades by breaking and replacing the lectern next to them. Repeat this process until the enchantment you want appears as the first enchanted book offer. When you get the enchantment you want, buy the book to lock in the trade.
Why are my librarian villager’s trades locked?
Villagers lock a trade option after using it several times during the day. For trades to refresh, the villager needs access to their job block and a nearby bed. The trades will reopen after one Minecraft day passes.
How can I encourage villagers to give discounts?
If you cure a zombie villager, they will give you a permanent and significant discount. Additionally, the “Hero of the Village” effect you gain by protecting a village from raids will also give you temporary great discounts.
In conclusion, the villager librarian is not just a trading post, but also your greatest ally on the path to the most powerful equipment. Take good care of them, protect them from zombies, and build a library in your village; you’ll get more than your money’s worth in return!
