Step 1: Find a Villager
The first step in making a blacksmith villager is finding a regular villager. You can usually find them in villages, which are generated structures that spawn in the world. If you’re having trouble finding a village, try using a seed that’s known to have one.
Step 1a: How to Find a Village
To find a village, you’ll need to explore the world. Villages can spawn in a variety of biomes, including plains, savannas, and deserts. Look for clusters of buildings and dirt paths to indicate a village is nearby.
Step 1b: How to Transport a Villager
Once you’ve found a villager, you’ll need to transport them to your base. The easiest way to do this is by using a minecart. Place the minecart next to the villager, and they’ll automatically hop in. Then, push the minecart to your base.
Step 2: Create a Blacksmith Station
Now that you have a villager, you’ll need to create a blacksmith station for them to work at. This can be done by placing a furnace and an anvil next to each other.
Step 2a: How to Craft a Furnace
To craft a furnace, you’ll need eight cobblestone. Place the cobblestone in a square shape in your crafting table, leaving the center square empty. This will create a furnace.
Step 2b: How to Craft an Anvil
To craft an anvil, you’ll need three blocks of iron and four iron ingots. Place the blocks of iron in a T-shape in your crafting table, and then place the iron ingots in the remaining squares. This will create an anvil.
Step 3: Trade with the Villager
Once you’ve created the blacksmith station, the villager will automatically become a blacksmith. You can now trade with them for valuable items like enchanted gear and emeralds.
Step 3a: How to Trade with a Villager
To trade with a villager, simply right-click on them to open their trading interface. They’ll offer various trades, each requiring a certain number of emeralds and a specific item.
