Minecraft has a ton of different mobs that populate the game’s world, but in my opinion, the best by far are the villagers. These villagers are important for not only making iron farms, but also of course trading with emeralds! Currently there are 15 different professions in minecraft ranging from the nitwit, to the librarian, to even the wandering trader. However, some villagers are certainly better than others, so today I thought it would be fun to throw them into a tier list! So join me in ranking every villager profession in minecraft from the worst to the best! And this is being made before the 1.21 update.

Very minor error! For the shepherd you only need 72 string per emerald. I did 20 * 18 instead of 4 * 18 cause I wasn’t thinking oops!! Hope you all still enjoy!
Doesn't matter how many errors you make I'll still love your video.
There's almost always one small error in every video and I love it

@@Odyssey_CentralFor the fisherman, you can actually dupe string I believe for maximum efficiency, should be higher. I feel insulted you didn't know this. And they're really easy to do as well so they're kinda broken

There's a Theory that the nitwit and the wandering trader are one in the same. They both have green tunics, the nitwit tends to wander off. From a lore point of view, I'd say that when they get lost and have to fend for themselves they become wandering traders. This is supported by the random nature of the wandering traders inventory.
About the fletchers “gravel for flint” trade, I actually like the idea of trades that are more just for worldbuilding. Like, instead of going through the physical labor of breaking the gravel for flint, he pays the villager to do it for him. I think that sounds pretty good.
Same here! I love stuff like this
nice pfp
Executioned in the game good too
similarly, the stone mason can smelt ur clay for free
fortune 3 gives gurantee elint..
Masons are a LIFESAVER if you have a hard time or can't be bothered getting clay or quartz in your world; they're what allowed me to make massive brick structures. I won't complain about their placement, and I love em all the same
I was gonna say too but if you have a lot of rivers or lakes as well as a Fortune III shovel, their clay trades are extremely op in getting emeralds quick. Like it’s probably not as efficient imo but you can make a village of just stone masons and use clay as your primary source of emeralds.
masons are actually the #1 villager to go to if string duping (and fisherman infinite emeralds) doesnt work in your world the reason is the 10 clay balls for 1 emerald novie trade, you are LITERALLY turning 2.5 blocks of dirt into an emerald. it does require pointed dripstone and water bottles to turn the dirt into mud, and then drying it out into clay, but after the initial hurdle of setting up, you can get a lot of easy infinite emeralds just by digging dirt
The cartographers get a boost imo bc you can dupe emeralds with it and a librarian who sells glass (why do they sell it?). Buy out all the glass, turn it into panes and sell it, making quite a lot of emeralds!
You need to cure the cartographers a few times to get it down to one pane for an emerald, after that it’s definitely my go to emerald source
Yeah I was ginna say this same thing lol
You can also just buy bookshelves from double cured librarians and sell the books back to them
@@sluin but you also have to mine them which is more time consuming, not to mention it’s not guaranteed to get the bookshelf trade, it’s definitely good but not quite as optimal as the glass panes
@@steamed_ham1767 it is also time consuming to craft the glass panes + get a lot of zombified cartograpers which need space in your trading hall
I think the fletcher is one of the most underrated villagers due to sticks being very easy to trade
Arguably, clay, stone, and wool are easier. And I will argue. If you're strip mining, you're likely to get a plethora of stone, and if you're near a river, you can very quickly obtain a lot of clay. And I mean a LOT! I think that all of them are super easy and much easier than breaking 7 axes for 1 mending book.
@@GeneralPenguinIsCool Most people strip mine in deepslate layters, clay is pretty good though. Also you must be forgetting about bamboo farms
Clay in my opinion is the best way to get emeralds. Their just so easy to get.
just throwing it out there if you’re as unethical as me you can spend 10 minutes building a string duper and make like a stack of emeralds stupid early into a hardcore world and then exploit fisherman for their hard earned cash (very effective)

Cartographers are much better than you’d believe. Since the Librarian sells glass you can make panes using glass, sell them to the cartographer to then buy more glass from the Librarian creating an infinite Emerald Loop for no cost but the initial pane. (So long as they’ve been cured)
Well even though its infinite, its more efficient to set up a stick/stone farm and use the fletcher or mason
Same with the compass they can take. And librarians can sell compass.
I actually really like the wandering trader, as they‘re the only renewable sources of small dripleaves (cool deco) and offer buckets of tropical fish, which can be useful for getting an achievement, as the fish are random and also getting tropical fish for axolotl breeding can be a hassle. They also trade some other useful things like glowstone and blue ice
They're also really useful for getting saplings of different tree types. Really cool if it's from a biome that's far from your base.
Ah, yes, blue ice, the most useful of items
Blue ice is obviously a very useful trade, but for me it's cactus that I love as I'm never anywhere near a desert.

Next on Odyssey Central: Ranking Every Tropical Fish
I legit wanna see this as a 24 hour video
[7:58] The shepherd’s dye trades (red, yellow, orange, magenta, and pink) can be easily farmed through using fortune III on double tall flowers The fortune effect only takes effect if the bottom of the flower gets broken, and not if the top of the flower gets broken This doesn’t take off any durability from the tool used and can be farmed from any tool that can revive fortune This effect can be automated with a second account (or friend) having one person continually placing flowers and the other breaking flowers, the flower supply won’t run out as the fortuned flowers would get picked up by the person placing them, if you can find something to hold down the button it’s afk-able (I’ve only done this on bedrock, it may or may not work on Java)
I’ve never heard of this before as a Java player so to me it sounds like a bedrock exclusive bug. Still if that is true that’d certainly make those trades much better! Very interesting!
oh hey there I didn’t expect for you to respond so quickly! Love your videos man best informational minecraft content I’ve seen recently keep it up! ❤
Bedrock Is really weird with 2 tall blocks. In creative if u break I think the bottom of the door it drops it?
There’s something about your meme humor and timing that makes it better than everyone else I’ve seen on YT
Honestly, who misses the old villager designs? Mojang, give us back Dr. Trayaurus
I knew I wasn't the only one to want him back
I do like the new ones but they should make a doctor trayaurus one that sells potions
That's nostalgia bias at its finest, new villagers >>>>>>> old villagers
True@@ballisticboo7808
You again… *why are you everywhere*
Can we just take a second to appreciate Odysseys sub graph? Most KZheadrs have like 5%. THIS MAN HAS TWENTY FIVE!!!
I think the fisherman trade for campfires is really good. Campfires are kind of expensive and cumbersome to craft otherwise and campfires are one of the best decoration blocks in the game, so I find myself using it a lot. The stone mason is also the easiest way to get bricks by far, especially since its always the first trade they have.
The glass pane cartographer trade is underrated, just by decimating a desert and building a super smelter its such easy emeralds
For the fletcher, since you can turn bamboo into sticks, you can just make an automatic bamboo farm and every stack gives you one emerald (Or you can just plant a big field of bamboo and destroy it with a stone or iron sword, it's broken as well)
Make a video ranking all the biomes in the game, 64 in total, 53 in the overworld, 5 in the nether, 5 in the end and 1 that can only be accessed in flat world presets, which is the void
I choose to believe 64 is a Super Mario reference
I did my own ranking before watching this video and one thing stuck out the most: When it comes to the items I can give the villagers for emeralds, for me the best way to judge them is, "what can I get in the early game?", and the reason is very simple: raid farms. Why would I build something like a Sweet Berry bush farm for emeralds when I can use that time and build a raid farm instead? This is why the trades like Iron, Paper, and Sticks are incredibly useful, because even after the early game, you'll still need these resources pretty much every day, and as an early game resorce, they're great for trading. Because of this, the more useful statistic is what THEY can give ME for my emeralds. This is why on my ranking I have the Mason 4 spots higher: because of the quartz and bricks. They're by far the best way of getting these resources for building. Other than that, I had the Shepherd lower (I don't find the wool trades good when sheep farms are an easy thing to build and extra poppies can be composted), and finally, I think the Toolsmith is better than the Armorer simply because he has the guaranteed Iron Trade while the other 2 iron traders only have a 50/50 chance. Whenever I make Iron Farms in my world, it's always a row of Toolsmiths for trading. Other than that, our rankings were very similar.
Your Shepheard argument is pretty weird considering you can use those easy wool farms for emeralds
Man, everything about your videos is just excellent. The editing, the topics, the humor, your delivery... Keep it up!
What a fantastic video (as always). I've been playing a lot of Minecraft recently expanding my survival city so this is kinda handy actually.
Stacking discount from curing zombie villagers is already patched. Since 1.20.2, you can only get discount once per villager.
I find pointed dripstone from wandering traders should up its rank slightly. Pointed dripstone can give you infinite free lava, which is useful for infinite smelting, obsidian or if you want to make a lava moat. Poined tripstone can sometimes just not exist anywhere up to thousands of blocks away from spawn, and can only be found in caves, so not only do you need to travel a lot to find it, but you'll also need to explore tons of caves until you randomly find dripstone. Unlike the lush cave, there is no way to tell from above ground whether there is a dripstone cave below.
the quality odyssey central content we all love and look forward to on Saturdays
I have some thoughts on this one. In Ilmango's peaceful challenge(great series btw), the butcher and fisherman were actually among the most useful. In peaceful, you don't have access to zombification or raid farms, so you have to get all your emeralds from buying them at full price(or from mining but that wasn't a viable alternative yet since they were still in 1.16). In the early game, the butcher was extremely easy to farm dried kelp and sweet berries for, and in the late game, the fisherman was optimal because their trades take the least items for the most emeralds, and they have 4 emerald trades(the boat trade doesn't count cuz it sucks). Due to the lack of witches, the cleric is also way better in peaceful, as it's the only renewable source of redstone dust. Librarians are still hands down the best tho.
Cartographer's glass panes trade is always my go-to trade for getting many emeralds. Deserts and their ecosystems have been destroyed in the name of my wealth
Another cool thing you can do with curing discounts is having a infinite emerald loop by trading for glass with the librarians and then turning those into glass planes for the cartographer which bumps the cartographer for me right above the cleric
Cartographer no.1 because it will give us the maps to different villages and now Librarian will give us the best book on master so its full gamble and cherry on top mending will be given by swamp librarian and cartographer is our only hope. After 1.21
Masons are a godsend for me before the introduction of mud and lush caves. They become a renewable source of bricks. Having multiple masons essentially gives you a brick laying operation.
One thing that brings up the Glass pane trade of the Cartographers for me is that you can very easily bring them down to 1 glass pane per emerald with zombies. And most villager setups WILL have a librarian that's very likely to sell you 4 glass per emerald. Early game, prior to when you have crazy good ways to get emeralds (or even EXP) it's not a terrible source Not enough to beat the iron farm, mind you, but worth considering
Note that fishermen only buy a certain boat type based on their biome skin. Desert villagers only buy jungle boats for example. Taiga and snowy villagers are the best I think, because 4x4 spruce trees are always straight, compared to the other boat wood types that have branches and are harder to cut down.
huh I didn't know that
Tbh the weapon/tool/armor smiths are REALLY good for challenges like skyblock or superflat. they are SO underrated
your vids are awesome, thanks! This'll help my minecraft world
I think the Mason is definitely one of the best since all of the blocks it can provide, essentially a builders dream of supplies. With a raid farm this guy becomes amazing. Now if you’re poor then he’s not worth spending emeralds on.
You just need a fletcher. Its easy to get emerald
As someone who is dutch, I cant BELIEVE you didn't mention the orange tulip trade. Its like... the best item in the entire game! Worth the emerals for SURE!
Me and my friends have recently started a joined realm of sorts with a bunch of wacky new tools, I cannot WAIT to find a Village and slap their available Enchantments on everything I can find. Also man I wish Swamp Villages were real. I'm picturing something like a boardwalk with lanterns.
Wonder what this list will look like after the villager changes get fully implemented
Cartographer no.1 because it will give us the maps to different villages and now Librarian will give us the best book on master so its full gamble and cherry on top mending will be given by swamp librarian and cartographer is our only hope.
I think Farmer would be number 1, since you have to gamble way more with Librarians
@@cormacmccarthy1889 farmer will be 2 because cartographer will give us new villages map of different biomes.
@@PixelCraftEdits yeah but like.... so what? farmers make villager auto breeds a thing which basically makes everything with villagers possible
@@cormacmccarthy1889 but now biome based books will be given, so you need to find a swamp village which is only possible by cartographer.
OmG WhErE's ThE WiTcH!
6:07 LOL it gave me an ad here right after you said you’d murder the wandering trader
The glass pane trade on the cartographer is actually pretty useful once you get a couble librarians with a glass block trade and infect/cure them. This leads to infinite emeralds until they run out of stock, as the cost for glass blocks is cheaper then what you get with trading panes.
1:49 VSAUCE MOMENT LET'S GOOOOOO. One of the best KZhead channels with odyssey and NB of course.
6:00 wandering trader is great for dripstone for lava farms, if you can't find any caves that spawn them naturally. also good for slimeballs for sticky pistons, if you don't care to set up a slime farm or go hunting them
One important note about the librarian, is that mending is a level 1 trade, this means that you can pretty quickly place and replace the lectern until you get what you want with no resource cost other than time. The armored for example has the enchanted diamond armor as it’s last trade, meaning you do need to expend some resources to get it there, and if it’s a bad enchantment then tough luck you can’t reset it
I’ve been waiting for this in the shadows also make a farm tear list
6:51 He looks chill af.
I use my stonemason villager not only for selling the huge amount of surplus dirt (I do have a mud farm) but by selling mud and buying back bricks, it's also great for XP grinding
Opinions, in order of introduction Combine a pork butcher and/or leatherworker with a hoglin farm for infinite emeralds. One cure was able to get the 6 leather and 7 pork to 1 leather and 2 pork. Wanderer gives coral and pickles, too. Could be better, could be worse, usefulness is based on scenario. Mason can be useful for conserving quartz, and the clay is easy to get. Shepard: I personally used 2-high flowers for these once. Magenta/Pink + input skeleton farm for emeralds. Fisherman is more efficient for some trades. Cartographer is useful for the maps. It gets better in the villager rework. Fletcher is sticks. No explanation needed. Also, feathers and string. Cleric is the redstone-lapis source, with Glowstone and Flesh-sink. The diamond gear givers give diamond gear. enough said on output, but inputs farmable too.. Farmer is reliable for input and output. No matter the tier, you should get a good food option. Librarian: Combine with EXP farm + iron farm. Also, mending.
The cartographer should definitely get a higher place, as in the snapshots, they can give maps to villages, and other structures like which huts. They can also give an infinite source of emeralds with only one cure, as the new price will go down to six panes for an emerald, and you can buy four blocks from a librarian for one emerald.
I often play minecraft monobiome and the wandering trader is always a gift from the heavens since every time it gives you access to a new resource you couldn't get otherwise
The wandering trader also allows some items to be renewable, such as coral blocks and sand/red sand if you don’t like gravity block duping. The limited trades and despawn timer may seem like a huge limiting factor, but through lazy-linking void trading it is actually possible to trade with it infinitely (although this is highly impractical for casual players).
On one of my worlds butchers were actually my main source of emeralds, made an automatic berry farm and it worked very well
Hi Odyssey I just wanted to say I’m a huge fan, can’t wait till you reach 200k, keep up the great content!
The Cartographer is my favourite Villager. Also infinite Emeralds when you have a Librarian that sells you Glass. I just love him for exploring and playing Marco Polo
The fletcher really is underrated when it comes to making a villager trading hall. If you want to use villager curing to get a good discount, the two ingredients needed is the weakness effect and a golden apple. Usually, getting enough splash potions of weakness to fuel a large trading hall would be a lot of work. However, if you can get lucky, it’s possible to get a fletcher with a tipped arrow of weakness in its master level. That saves tons of resources and time as you’d only need arrows and emeralds to get the tipped arrows of weakness.
I have a cobblestone generator hooked up to an autosmelter that i use to trade with stone masons, its nice because its a pretty easy farm to set up and decently afk-able as long as you have fuel
I actually have tons of masons in most of my survival worlds, simply for the fact that I can get all colors of Terracotta and Glazed Terracotta, as well as Quartz, so easily when I trade with Fletchers and Farmers beforehand to get the green.
If you are interested in a bit more of a challenge for Skyblock, I highly recommend the carpet sky mod. It is pretty much a vanilla experience with a few extra features to make every item (including deep slate) obtainable/farmable
Very nice video, sadly I don't know if it'd be useful to ME in particular, because I like to play without Farms, to make the experience more natural. So yeah, but hopefully this still works as a guide for me to know what villagers should I prioritize.
The string trades can actually be really good with a string duper. They are super easy to make and make a ton of string (in my world I have like 4 double chests of that stuff because of the duper). Plus with string you can make wool, so basically a string duper doubles as an emerald and wool farm.
Using this to improve my knowledge on Minecraft villagers
I like the stone Mason. We have a auto cobble generator that filters all the cobble into a super smelter and it gave us so many emeralds it was insane
The mason is actually super good if you like to build big underground bases (like me) that often expand and have you end up with metric tonnes of mason trade blocks
Wandy T is actually quite helpful and super underrated because if you dont have a desert or jungle, hes a good way to get the green, cyan or brown dye. Even saplings you cant get because you didnt find the biome yet. Okay, you cant reset them but they will get a buff and even give you emeralds and iron pickaxes with enchants, which are super useful in early game where you still have only stone or iron tools. The sheperd is actually my favorite way to get emeralds, because the only thing you need is a lot of sheep, which is easy with some wheat. After 3 minecraft days you will have a lot of sheep and no, you dont kill them, you shear them.
I can tell you are also a Mogswamp enjoyer by the fact that you called him Wandy T
The nitwit does have a use if you are making something in creative mode, since it is the best villager for adding custom trades using commands.
the tipped arrow trade is underrated, you can get cool arrows like the arrow of luck and helpful arrows like the arrow of posion or the arrow of harming 2 (it does the most damage out of any arrow in the game)
Mason should be so much higher because of the clay trade. You get 4 by breaking just one block of clay. Clay is super easy to find from rivers and lush caves.
A great combo you can set up is using a librarian to buy glass and then using a cartographer to sell back the glass in the form of glass panes. If both villagers have been healed from zombies, you should be able to make profit and basically turn 1 emerald into 2
13:53 the glass bottle trade is useful if you have a witch farm
Shepards are some of my favourites because of how easily and cheaply you can make really good wool farms
Remember when NItwits were considered rare/a trophy mob similar to Pink Sheep and Left-Handed Skeletons? The Traders Llamas can also be useful for base defence. His Llamas were more reliable than K-Turrets in Zombie Apocalypse modpacks that I have played.
odyssey you are like THE BEST mc news and opinion channel EVER💖💖💗💗 been watching for around 3 yeArs now and u never dissapoint!
If you are like me and you totall pacify your ancient cities when you raid them, then having a shepherd buy gray wool is pretty nice because you can get a ton of it from the cities.
A cured cartographer glass pane trade is god tier. It allows the glass tarde from librarians to give more than enough glass to makes a profit. Imfinite emeralds and exp for the cost of a cartography table, gloden apple, weakness pot and a few investment emeralds
please rank every biome would make 4 an EPIC video!!!
nice video, can't wait for 2D mario level ranking.
idk, in my world, I think of the butchers sweet berry trade as my source of emeralds, but that might change at some point. also I love the cooked pork trade
The quartz block trade from the Mason is amazing. It's an infinite source of quartz and its way better than mining for quartz and making blocks which consumers 4 quartz for 1 block. That basically means you have all the quartz blocks you want and you never need to mine for it unless you specifically want the quartz pieces for red stone
Maybe you could do a video ranking all the different biomes
I haven't finished the video, but I want to sau that shepherds selling beds it's a nice way to mine ancient debris without using tnt, specially early/mid-game
A new day a new video🎉(love your videos man I subscribe to you and I never forgot about you❤)
7:58 Man, Odyssey's OST is so good.
17:52 I'll be honest, early game the pumpkin pie trade is fire as hell
The shepherd is severely underrated and deserves a spot right next to the fletcher at the very least. Forced input wool farms are probably the fastest in the game, generating dozens of stacks of wool per minute. The best way to get emeralds imo
2:27 "He didn't wanna get a job, well, he's gonna get a job now" -sb737
To me mason is actually pretty useful, like I get your point but I like to have at least one mason in my farm just to dump my leftovers from mining, and the clay exchange is really really good if you have a lush cave near your base
do a villager house ranking (for each biome as well)
I 100% agree with the Farmer and Librarian being the best 2 villagers in the game. In my world a have a huge farm including tons of carrots, potatoes, melons, pumpkins, wheat, and beetroots. Because of this, I have 32 Farmers (8 per carrots, potatoes, wheat, and beatroots), meaning I can get tons of emeralds just from harvesting my farm once. Don't even get me started on the Librarian. I have all the best enchantments, including protection 4, mending, unbreaking 3, sharpness 5, efficiency 5 and many more. As for the other villagers, I have a few Clerics specifically for the bottles of enchanting, and a few Armorers, Weaponsmiths, and Toolsmiths, mostly to use the iron trade for emeralds. Overall, villagers can really carry your game, especially by getting discounts via curing them and doing raids. They can really save you some grinding. Honestly, villager trading halls are basically a must in the current state of Minecraft. Great video dude, I'll see you in the next one.
Gotta give a shoutout to the traveling merchant for everything he makes possible in skyblock and one block
I always start my village with a mason since dripstone makes clay a renewable source and can often set up pre-iron farm.
Preemptively before watching the video, Stone Masons are my personal favourites. Clay and stone trades are super easy emeralds, and its very easy to get terracota or quartz. Also stick trades are worse than clay trades i dont wanna hear it. I also really like the armourer and Wandy T because im a die hard skyblocker.
Librarian is easy #1 though. You can’t argue that
@Diamondking599 I can't argue that it is objectively the best, but I HATE it. I don't like breaking like 3 axes to get a mending book for 55 emeralds, and then he just dies in a raid. Just me? Thought so. Anyway, I don't like him.
The stone mason can be really good for if you find a lush cave and a decent shovel because of all the clay
YOU SHOULD DEFINETLY DO A RANKING OF THE MUSIC DISCS AND ITEMS
I suddenly had an idea. A player without armor should be less loud than a player in armor. The skulk sensor should be more lenient towards a player who does not rattle the joints of metal armor or the creak of leather armor.
youre underestimating the Mason as the Quartz trade is helpful after having farmed for netherite, the clay trade is also close to the stick trade in efficiency and the stone trades are good enough if you use instamining with silk touch. Also he trades Quartz blocks for builing which is neat and probalbly faster than farming quartz on your own
honestly i quite like the fisherman's campfire trade. i use them a lot in builds and they're a bit of a pain to craft
