How villager trading works
An employed villager offers trades based on profession and level: novice, apprentice, journeyman, expert and master. Trade availability varies with edition, game version, experimental rebalance settings and the specific villager. A nitwit cannot obtain a trading profession; unemployed villagers can claim an available workstation.
Useful professions to develop first
Farmers buy crops for emeralds; fletchers often buy sticks; librarians can sell enchanted books; armorers, toolsmiths and weaponsmiths provide equipment. Set up safe workstations and trading access. Prices and exact offers can change, so the examples here are guidance rather than guaranteed trades.
