In Minecraft, players need to collect as many important items and blocks as possible to level up their gear, base, and more. Additionally, they constantly have to clear out their inventory and throw away useless items. One of the best ways to do both is by trading with villagers.

Villagers are peaceful mobs that roam around villages. They are closest to human beings in terms of behavior and work different jobs. Villagers who have a particular job can trade items with players, who can either give them emeralds or any other item that they do not need to obtain useful items.

Listed below are some of the best professional villagers to trade with.
