How to get a mending villager in 2025?

To get a mending villager in Minecraft (2025), find an unemployed villager, give it a lectern workstation, and repeatedly break and replace the lectern until the librarian offers the Mending enchanted book, making sure not to trade with them first to lock in the trades. If you have the "Villager Trade Rebalance" experimental feature enabled, you'll need to find or breed a swamp villager and level them to Master for a guaranteed mending trade, as this feature restricts mending to swamp librarians.

Why is my villager not turning into a librarian?

Your villager won't become a librarian usually because they already have a job, are linked to another lectern, have already traded (locking their profession), or there's a pathfinding/proximity issue with the lectern; to fix it, remove other job blocks, ensure they're unemployed (no special outfit/hat), place a single lectern nearby, and let them claim it during work hours, breaking and replacing the lectern until they get the desired trades, says Minecraft Wiki.

What's the rarest villager in Minecraft?

The rarest natural villager type in Minecraft is the Swamp Villager, followed closely by the Jungle Villager, because villages rarely spawn in swamps and jungles, making these unique skins incredibly hard to find, with swamp villagers being slightly rarer due to swamps being less common than jungles. You typically find these by getting a village to border these rare biomes and having a villager spawn in the correct spot, with Swamp Villagers requiring an even rarer biome setup.

How rare is a librarian with mending?

The chance of a librarian offering a mending book in Minecraft is low but reliable with persistence, especially in recent updates (1.21+) where Mending becomes a guaranteed, exclusive trade for Master-level Swamp Librarians under the "Villager Trade Rebalance" experiment, though generally, it's a small fraction (around 1-2% initially) of potential enchantments, requiring players to reset lecterns until it appears, making it more about time than pure luck.

Can a master villager lose its profession?

Yes, a Master-level villager can lose its profession, but only if you break their job site block before you've ever traded with them; once you trade, their profession (and good trades like Mending) is permanently locked in, even if the block is gone, though it might get buggy in older versions or Bedrock. For jobless villagers, removing their workstation and bed, ensuring no other workstations are nearby, and breaking the block during their work hours (daytime) allows them to become unemployed and pick up a new job, say, a Farmer or Librarian.

Can a villager give you diamonds?

Yes, you can get diamonds from villagers in Minecraft, but not by trading for raw diamonds; instead, you buy diamond gear (tools, armor, weapons) from Armorer, Toolsmit, and Weaponsmith villagers using emeralds, or sell diamonds to them for emeralds at higher levels, making diamond items renewable.
