Cleric Trades in Minecraft: Every Trade by Level

Guide Java Bedrock

Quick answer: Clerics buy rotten flesh (32), gold ingots (3), rabbit's feet (2), turtle scutes (4), glass bottles (9) and nether wart (22) for emeralds, and sell redstone dust, lapis lazuli, glowstone, ender pearls (5 emeralds) and bottles o' enchanting (3 emeralds). Give one a brewing stand and your zombie farm's rotten flesh becomes ender pearls.

What you need

A brewing stand and an unemployed villager
A zombie or mob farm for rotten flesh
Gold (a gold farm or mined ore) for the apprentice trade

Step by step

Novice: buys 32 rotten flesh for 1 emerald; sells 2 redstone dust for 1 emerald.
Apprentice: buys 3 gold ingots for 1 emerald; sells lapis lazuli for 1 emerald.
Journeyman: buys 2 rabbit's feet for 1 emerald; sells glowstone for 4 emeralds.
Expert: buys 4 turtle scutes or 9 glass bottles for 1 emerald; sells ender pearls for 5 emeralds each.
Master: buys 22 nether wart for 1 emerald; sells bottles o' enchanting for 3 emeralds - instant XP on tap.
Best emerald route: a zombie spawner or mob farm floods you with rotten flesh, and a bartering gold farm covers the gold ingot trade.
Ender pearl tip: the expert pearl trade is the most reliable pre-stronghold pearl source - no bartering RNG, no enderman hunting.
Level the cleric with rotten flesh and gold, keep the brewing stand reachable, and cure it for cheaper pearls and XP bottles.

Java vs Bedrock

The cleric is the magic profession: mob drops in, redstone, lapis, glowstone, ender pearls and XP bottles out.

Frequently asked questions

What workstation does a cleric need?

A brewing stand. Place it near an unemployed villager and it becomes a cleric; breaking the brewing stand removes the profession.

How do I buy ender pearls from a cleric?

Level a cleric to expert by trading rotten flesh, gold and glowstone, then buy ender pearls for 5 emeralds each. Curing the cleric discounts the price.

What is the best cleric trade?

The novice rotten flesh trade (32 flesh for 1 emerald) for income, and the expert ender pearl trade for progression - both are renewable and reliable.
