In Minecraft, we can explore a blocky, 3D world with multiple virtual terrains. We can find and extract raw materials, tools, and items, as well as construct structures, dig wells, and operate simple machines.
Other than this, we have an exciting thing called Minecraft villages, and so do the villagers, just like humans on earth. So to survive in a Minecraft world, you also need food to eat, shelter, a variety of items, and upgraded tools. For that, these Minecraft villagers also need jobs, like humans, and you have so many jobs in Minecraft.
Since the villagers haven’t changed much for a while, these jobs will stay almost the same in 2022. but since all villagers are not the same, they do jobs according to their capabilities and the availability of the utility blocks around them. These blocks are what we call site blocks. The essential habit of these villagers is to wake up, do their daily work, and go back to sleep.
This way, the developers made it lively and interactive as well. Now coming back to the villager’s jobs, as I explained earlier, we have many types of employment in Minecraft, but the best way to assign these jobs to the villagers is to just place some site blocks around them, and they will choose any particular job. But there is the possibility that due to the unavailability of site blocks, some are “unemployed” and “nitwits.”
The difference between the Unemployed and Nitwits is that the Unemployed are available to do some work and can be hired, but Nitwits can’t be. Thus, along with these two, there are 15 villager jobs for Minecraft villagers.
The following are the 13 most important jobs:
- Armorer
- Butcher
- Cartographer
- Cleric
- Farmer
- Fisherman
- Fletcher
- Leatherworker
- Librarian
- Masons
- Shepherd
- Toolsmith
- Weaponsmith
So let’s look at each of these along with their available items and site blocks.
- Armorer:
Site Block: Blast Furnace
Items: sells iron, armor, and chain.
As implied by the name, this villager makes a living by selling armor parts, which are needed in Minecraft’s Blast Furnace block to melt ore. It yields items for sales like a bell, a shield, and armor.
- Butcher:
Site Block: Smoker
Items: Offers cooked meat and stew
This job is to provide cooked meat and rabbit stew. Sometimes it offers eight cooked chicken pieces for a single emerald. And if you cannot find other food items, butchers are the most reliable food source in the game. The site block used is the smoker.
- Cartographer:
Site Block: Cartography Table
Items: Sells maps, frames, and banners.
Cartographers are considered the “most expensive villagers” in Minecraft because their help is priceless. The site block for this job is a cartography table used to create maps, frames, and banners. They can provide ocean and woodland explorer maps. You can use these maps to find the game’s ocean monuments, woodland mansions, and buried treasure.
- Cleric:
Site Block: Brewing Stand
Items: It offers magical items like Redstone dust and even Bottle o’ Enchanting.
Clerics provide magical items in Minecraft. Clerics usually lead you to get the most exciting things. You can get Redstone dust, lapis lazuli, glowstone, under eye, and even Bottle o’ Enchanting from the clerics. This intriguing aspect of the game serves as an educational opportunity for players, introducing them to valuable resources and materials. It’s akin to engaging in educational games for kids, where the process of obtaining items becomes a learning experience.
- Farmer:
Site Block: Composter
Items: Provides high-quality food and ingredients.
Farmers are the most common and popular type of villagers in Minecraft. Farmers provide premium foods and even certain ingredients. At lesser levels, you can offer stew, bread, pie, apple, cookies, and cake. Expert farmers also provide beautiful carrots and glistening melon slices in addition to these. They frequently spawn close to a composter, which is a great resource for making bonemeal in games.
- Fisherman:
Site Block: Barrel
Items: It offers cooked seafood, a campfire, and even an enchanted fishing rod.
Fishermen are again very popular villagers in the game. The site block for fishermen is a barrel. They provide cooked cod, salmon, and a bucket of cod. They’ll also sell you a campfire and an enchanted fishing rod. A fisherman allows you to sell fish for emeralds which you can use with villagers having other Minecraft jobs.
- Fletcher:
Site Block: Fletching Table
Items: Trades arrows, flint, bow, and crossbows
Fletcher is one of the least-known villager jobs in Minecraft. Their site block is a fletching table. Low-level fletchers may sell you arrows, flint, bows, and crossbows. The upper-level fletchers provide enchanted bows, crossbows, and even tipped arrows.
- Leatherworker:
Site Block: Cauldron
Items: Sells leather armor, horse armor, and saddles.
The site block for the leatherworker is a cauldron. Nowadays, leatherworkers are not considered helpful, but they were very popular once. And it’s because they mainly offer leather armor pieces and leather horse armor, neither of which is used by most of the players. The only useful item you can obtain from them is a horse saddle, which can only be obtained from a master-level leatherworker. Having the cauldron as its site block, it stores water, lava, or powdered snow inside a cauldron.
- Librarian:
Site Block: Lectern
Item: Offers enchanted books, compasses, clocks, name tags, etc.
Villagers with the librarian job in Minecraft are one of the easiest ways to get enchanted books in the game. Additionally, you can purchase name tags, clocks, compasses, glass blocks, bookshelves, lanterns, and more from them. Their site block is the lectern, which is used in multiplayer mode. It enables you to place books on it so that multiple players can read them simultaneously.
- Mason or Stonemason
Site Block: Stonecutter
Items: Trades different types of brick, terracotta, and quartz.
This job is called mason in the Minecraft Java edition and stonemason in the Bedrock edition. The site block for this is Stonecutter, which is used to craft stone-related blocks in various sizes. The mason can provide a variety of stones, and you can sell different types of bricks, a variety of polished stone blocks, and dripstone blocks at lower levels. You can also get some colored terracotta, glazed terracotta, blocks of quartz, and quartz pillars.
- Shepherd:
Site Block: Loom
Items: Offer decorative items like colored wool, carpets, and paintings.
Being a shepherd is one of the few non-survival-oriented Minecraft villager jobs. Most of the things they sell are ornaments, such as carpets, colorful wool, flags, and paintings. And they can also give you shears and beds. Players usually go to Shepherd for the paintings. The job site block of the shepherd is a loom, with which you can create unique patterns on banners.
- Toolsmith:
Site Block: Smithing Table
Items: Trade tools like a pickaxe, shovel, and harrow.
To get different in-game tools, such as a pickaxe, axe, shovel, and hoe, you may trade with toolsmiths. Even magical tools are available at higher trading levels. Toolsmiths also sell bells in Minecraft’s strongest tools, which can be obtained by upgrading diamond tools to nephrite tools using the smithing table.
- Weaponsmith:
Site Block: Grindstone
Items: Offers minerals, enchanted weapons, and bells.
Weaponsmith is the most desirable job. To do a speedrun in Minecraft, weaponsmith chests are better than their trades. You can store obsidian, weapons, and iron in these chests. They also offer swords and axes, both with and without enchantments, to trade. Besides, you can get a bell from them if you need it. To repair tools and weapons, you can use their grindstone.
- Unemployed:
Site Block: use any block (or table) to assign a job
Items: It can take up any job on this list.
All baby villagers grow into unemployed villagers and remain unemployed until they find a site block, which you can choose to craft and put in front of them. Crafting and placing a site block becomes a pivotal step in shaping the future roles of these villagers. It’s a bit like engaging in crafts for kids, where the act of creating something with their hands not only brings joy but also plays a crucial role in determining the outcome.
- Nitwit:
Site Block: N. A
Items: aesthetic value; no other value
Nitwits in Minecraft are considered somewhat useless. You can’t assign a job to nitwits, which means they are not like unemployed villagers to whom you can assign a job. They are only included in the game as a healthy reminder of the aesthetic value that the Minecraft world holds for many. Despite their lack of specific roles, their presence adds a touch of diversity and uniqueness to the game’s population. It’s a bit like fostering positive thinking for kids, teaching them that every element, even if it doesn’t have a clear purpose, contributes to the overall richness and beauty of the virtual world they explore in Minecraft.
Conclusion:
Minecraft villages are a fantastic addition to the game. These jobs help them trade in the game just like humans do in the real world.
