First, you need to craft a fletching table in Minecraft. Though it looks like a functional table that players can use, it is simply a block that cannot be used directly.

This block is crafted using four planks and two flint items. Planks are fairly simple to craft, while flint can be found while mining gravel.

2) Recruit a villager as a fletcher

Once you craft a fletching table, you need to find an unemployed villager and turn them into a fletcher using the table. The table will act as the villagers' job site, which will lure any unemployed ones.

Villagers can be found in villages that frequently generate in common biomes like Plains, Taiga, Savanna, etc.

There is a chance that you might find a fletcher already dwelling in one of these villages. If so, you don't need to craft a fletching table at all.

3) Craft loads of sticks to trade with the fletcher

Once a fletcher is found or employed, you must trade sticks with the villager to earn loads of emeralds. Fletcher is a special professional villager who takes a few sticks for one emerald. Since sticks are one of the easiest items to make in Minecraft, many players prefer keeping fletchers in their bases for earning emeralds.

Fletcher is definitely one of the easiest villagers to trade with, especially for new players, since anyone can craft sticks.

At first, the villager will take 32 sticks for one emerald, but the mob can reduce prices if you trade with them repeatedly.
