Summon Villager with Custom Trades

Create a villager selling diamonds for one emerald

✅ Verified for Java 26.2 · Bedrock 26.32 — checked June 2026

Summons a villager with a hand-written trade that sells a diamond for a single emerald. This is the base pattern for command-built shops: swap the buy and sell items and counts to design any trade you want. maxUses keeps the trade from locking after a few purchases.

/summon villager ~ ~ ~ {Offers:{Recipes:[{buy:{id:"minecraft:emerald",count:1},sell:{id:"minecraft:diamond",count:1},maxUses:999999}]}}
