A librarian is a villager that trades enchanted books, glass, bookshelves and candles. Librarians wear a red book as a hat, glasses, and a white robe.

Spawning

[edit | edit source]

An unemployed villager turns into a librarian when an unclaimed lectern is nearby.

Natural generation

[edit | edit source]

The workstation of librarians, or the lectern, generates in libraries in villages.

Drops

[edit | edit source]
This feature is exclusive to Java Edition.
 

In Java Edition, a librarian can drop a book by throwing it as a gift towards a nearby player with the Hero of the Village effect.

  1. ↑ a b c d The enchantment is chosen randomly with equal chance of any enchantment type occurring (except for Soul Speed, Swift Sneak, and Wind Burst) and equal chance to get any level of the enchantment, meaning high-level enchantments are as likely as low-level enchantments. It is possible for a librarian to sell the same book more than once. The price in emeralds depends on the enchantment level and "treasure" status. The minimum price of a book is given by 2 + 3 * (enchantment level), while the maximum price is 6 + 13 * (enchantment level). The possible values are 5–19 emeralds for Lvl I, 8–32 for Lvl II, 11–45 for Lvl III, 14–58 for Lvl IV, and 17–71 for Lvl V. For treasure enchantments the price is doubled. The cost is capped at 64 emeralds. All values below this cap are equally probable.
  2. ↑ In Java Edition only one is requested per trade because of MC-248042 β€“ Librarian's book and quill trade is always discounted to 1 since books are unstackable. In Bedrock Edition, the second book is placed in another slot instead.

Villager Trade Rebalance

[edit | edit source]
This section describes an experimental feature in Java Edition and Bedrock Edition.
 
This feature is not enabled in-game by default and requires enabling the "Villager Trade Rebalance" experimental data pack in Java Edition. or the "Villager Trade Rebalancing" setting in the "Experiments" section in Bedrock Edition.

If the Villager Trade Rebalance experiment is turned on, librarians offer specific enchanted books depending on which biome they come from. Enchantments for the Novice, Apprentice, and Journeyman book trades are randomly selected from the "Common" pool, with a randomized level. At Master level, librarians are guaranteed to sell an enchanted book with a specific enchantment in addition to their normal trades.
