Quick Answer
Do not start with a tiny max-efficiency trading hall. First make sure villagers link to the right workstation, can restock, and stay protected. Then lock librarians, farmers, fletchers, and smiths in a controlled order.
Profession Priority
| Profession | Value | Check First |
|---|---|---|
| Librarian | Mending, Efficiency, Unbreaking, Protection | Reroll first book before locking trades |
| Farmer | Pumpkins, melons, crops into emeralds | Best with crop farms |
| Fletcher | Sticks into emeralds | Very low early cost |
| Armor/tool/weapon smith | Diamond gear and tools | Needs iron, coal, and emerald support |
Build Order
- Build a safe breeding area and transport path.
- Give each slot one workstation and confirm the linked villager.
- Lock key enchanted books before filling every profession.
- Add farmers and fletchers for emerald income.
- Add discounts, smith gear, and bulk storage last.
Common Problems
- Another villager steals the workstation link.
- You trade once, then try to reroll a locked profession.
- The hall is not lit or protected, so villagers get attacked.
- Java and Bedrock restocking or discount rules are mixed together.
