For those unaware, the fletcher villager provides one of the best trades in Minecraft. They will trade one emerald for 32 sticks.

Players who complete this trade multiple times will be able to spend the newly acquired emeralds on better-quality trades. This will also help the villager level up.

Minecraft players can change the profession of an unwanted villager if they want to.

If a player hasn't traded with a villager, they can break their job block to change their profession or keep it the same by replacing the same job block. The purpose of this is to acquire better quality trades.


#2 - Raid Discount

Some players may not know that they can get a discount on trades after defeating a raid.

Before starting a raid, players must ensure that they are sufficiently prepared for a difficult battle.

Villagers in Minecraft will permanently increase the price of any trade that is sold out. This is obviously unwanted for most players and can luckily be avoided.

For those unaware, the villagers will restock all of their items once they work on their job blocks.

Minecraft villagers usually work at their job blocks twice a day, which is quite often, especially for the more valuable trades.
