Gainfully employed villagers in Minecraft can easily score you plenty of resources through a simple trade, so you don’t need to waste time🍌 gathering them yourself. With 15 professions in total, there are tonꦆs of items these guys can provide you with.
However, not all working villagers are equal. Some are simply more useful than others, and that’s why we’re here to rank them. This is every profession for villagers in Minecraft, from least to most useful.
Nitwit
Of courওse, the nitwit is here to begin as the most u✃seless profession for a villager because they don’t have a profession. Not only do these villagers not have any job at all, but they also cannot get one either.
Nitwits will be wearing a green top, so luckily you can spot them pretty easily. They have no job sit🐠e block and will simply wander around all day. How fitting for their name.
Unemployed
Only a slight step above the nitwit are the unemployed villagers. They function the same as nitwits, only these guys can actually b🧔e assigned a job to do. So, if you’re in need of something, find a job site block and put them to work.
Leatherworker
Now onto the real professions, unfortunately nowadays the leatherworker doesn’t offer much value. This villager will offer y🐭ou leather-r✨elated items, such as leather armor, leather horse armor, and rabbit hide. None of these items will provide much use to you.
However, their job site block is a Cauldron, which you can use to store things like lava. So ev🐬en if the leatherworker doesn’t give you much, at least the cauldron offers some use.
Shepherd
Shepherds spend their days working with wool, which in Minecraft means you’ll only be getting decorations from them. However, while things like paintings, banners, carpets, or wool won’t help you survive, they certainly will make your Minecraft house look lovely, and that’s better than nothing.
The job site block for this villager is the Loom.
Mason/Stone Mason
With their job site block being a Stonecutter, it’s obvi♉ous what masons do. They work with stone, offering for trade items like polished stone blocks, terracotta of all kinds, clay, and quartz. These make for great building blocks, and if you’re looking to build a beautiful city, you’ll want at least one villager working this job.
Fisherman
Fishermen are exactly how they sound — they go out and catch fish. They’ll trade fishing items, cooked fish like salmon and cod, and campfires. However, unless you’re a hardcore fishing enthusiast in Minecraft or love ღeating fish, you probably won’t get too much use out of them.
✱But fishermen do allow you to trade your own caught fish for emeralds, which puts them up higher on this list. You can get tons of these gems this way, which can then be used to trade elsewhere. Their job site block is a Barrel.
Librarian
The librarian is the keeper of books in a village, and notably, they keep enchant🍬ed books. While some players prefer to ignore the enchanted book mechanics, others love them, so how useful this profession is in your village is up to your playstyl🌺e.
Their job site block is a Lectern, and luckily if you’re not interested in enchanted books you can still trade them for other items, such as clocks, glass, compasses, and regular bookshelves to get level 30 enchantments on your own.
Butcher
Butchers can be found at the Smoker for their job site block, cooking meat all day. This means🍸 you can trade them for both cooked stews and cooked meats of all kinds, like steak and pork chops. You can also get sweet berries from them.
These guys are a great source of food for any village. When youℱ’re off adventuring, i✃nstead of having to find it yourself, you can simply stock up at the butcher’s and be on your way.
Fletcher
If the bow is your favorite weapon in Minecraft, then the Fletcher is a worker you need in your village. This villager will offer all kinds of bows, crossbows, and arrows for your convenience. At higher levels, they c🐟an even offer enchanted ones.
The fletcher’s job site block is the appropriately named Fletching Table. If bows aren’t your weapon of choice, you might not get much use out of these villagers, but if you’re 💝a sharpshooter this is a great worker to have.
Toolsmith
Just as they are titled, the tools𒊎mith will be crafting and trading all sorts of tools for you to use. Whether you need an axe, shovel, hoe, pickaxe, or anything else, the toolsmith will have it. You can find them at Smithing Tables, which also provide a spot for you to upgrade diamond tools.
You can even get be📖lls from these guys, so they’re a solid villager to have working around town.
Cleric
Every village needs a magic shop, and that’s what the cleric, f🧔ound at Brewing Stands, is for. These villagers will trade you a wide variety of magical items, including ender pearls, redston🗹e dust, glowstone dust, and more.
These items can be tough to come across onﷺ your own, so having a cleric in town is alwa💃ys a big help if you’re hunting for these items.
Cartographer
The cartographer is able to trade you empty maps, frames, and banners. With their job site block being a Cartography Table, these viജllagers work hard to make maps of important explorer maps, as well. You’ll definitely want one of these in town, even though they’re pricey.
Farmer
The most common villager profession is also one of the most useful. The humble farmer, who🐈se job site block is a Composter, offers you an endless supply of high-level food, and crops. This includes bread, cookies, cake, pie, and even golden carrots at higher levels. If you somehow don’t have a farmer in your village, you better get one.
Armorer
An armorer will craft exactly what their title is, armor. They’ll offer tons of great armor for trade, plus shields, a bell, and even enchanted armor pieces if they’re an expert. Since there are tons of monsters roaming around Minecraft, one of the best PS5 survival games, you’ll need protection, an💮d the armorer can give it to you.
You can find them at Blast Furnac𝄹es, which is used to melt ores.
Weaponsmith
Finally, we reach the best of the best. That is the weaponsmith, and this villager will stock you up on every weapon you need. You can trade them for swords and axes, and just like the armorer, t☂hese can be enchanted i💙f they’re an expert.
Their job site block is a Grindstone, and you can also get bells and minerals from them. Th✤is variety of incredibly useful items makes them the most useful villager p🅰rofession in the game.
