Minecraft Villager Jobs: Every Profession and Workstation

Guide Java Bedrock

Quick answer: There are 15 villager professions: 13 working ones that each claim a job site block (from armorer at a blast furnace to weaponsmith at a grindstone), plus nitwit and unemployed, who cannot work. Place a workstation near an unemployed villager to give it that job.

What you need

An unemployed villager (not a nitwit)
The job site block for the profession you want
A bed for the villager (needed in villages for it to restock and breed)

Java vs Bedrock

Break and replace a workstation to reroll an unemployed villager's profession, or a traded villager's offers - but only before you trade with it once. After the first trade, its profession and trades lock.

Versions: Professions and workstations are the same on Java and Bedrock. Trade offers have small differences between editions, and the experimental villager trade rebalance changes librarian offers when enabled.

Frequently asked questions

How do I change a villager's job?

If you have never traded with it, break its job site block and place a different one - it picks up the new profession. Once traded with, a villager's job and offers are locked forever.

Why won't my villager take a job?

Either it is a nitwit (green coat - never works), another villager claimed the workstation first, or it cannot pathfind to the block. Move other villagers away and put the block right next to it.
