Stockpiling Emeralds to Prepare Your Gear

Trading with Villagers

Because the mod requires emeralds to craft a complete lineup of tools and armor, stockpiling a healthy supply of gems is essential. The fastest vanilla method to accumulate emeralds is through villager trading.

1. Locate a nearby village and find villagers with accessible professions, such as Farmers, Fletchers, or Toolsmiths.

2. Collect easy-to-farm trade items, such as sticks, wheat, carrots, or pumpkins.

3. Complete trades repeatedly to fill your inventory with emeralds. Ensure you secure at least 35 emeralds if you plan to craft both the complete armor set and the full tool lineup.

Mining Emerald Ores

If you prefer mining underground or exploration over trading, emeralds can also be obtained directly from the world:

1. Travel to mountain or windswept hill biomes, where emerald ore naturally generates.

2. Mine exposed emerald ores along cliff faces and inside high-elevation caves.

3. Deposit your gathered emeralds into a chest near your crafting station so you have a dedicated supply ready whenever you need to craft fresh equipment.
