TITLE: Villagers (Minecraft)

Villagers were first added in Minecraft Beta 1.9 as a semi-intelligent NPC that a player has the opportunity to trade with.

Types of Villagers
There are currently six professions a villager can have. They are the Farmer, Librarian, Priest, Blacksmith, Butcher, and Nitwit. Each of these professions (With the exception of Priest and Nitwit) has several careers associated with them. There are a total of 13 careers. You can see the career of the villager when you right click them. The Nitwit villager is the newest one, being released with 1.11.

Farmer
The farmer NPC is one of the original villager NPCs added into Minecraft in Beta 1.9. The farmers are seen wearing brown robes and have four variants in career. These variants are Farmer, Fisherman, Fletcher, and Shepherd. There is an equal (25%) chance of a farmer villager to have any of these variants, with terrain not affecting this chance (e.g., a Fisherman can be in a village in the desert).

Librarian
The Librarian NPC is one of the original villager NPCs added into Minecraft in Beta 1.9. The Librarians are seen wearing white robes and have two variants in career. These variants are Librarian and Cartographer. The chances for a Librarian villager to be a Librarian or a Cartographer is equal.

Priest
The Priest NPC is one of the original villager NPCs added into Minecraft in Beta 1.9. The Priests wear purple robes, and have no variants in career choice.

Blacksmith
The Blacksmith NPC is one of the original villager NPCs added into Minecraft in Beta 1.9. Blacksmiths will be seen wearing a black apron and have three variants in career. These variants are Armorer, Weapon Smith, and Tool Smith. The chances for a Blacksmith villager to be an Armorer, Weapon Smith, and Tool Smith are equal.

Butcher
The Butcher NPC is one of the original villager NPCs added into Minecraft in Beta 1.9. Butchers can be identified by their white aprons and have two variants in career choice. These variants are Butcher and Leatherworker. There are equal chances for a Butcher to be classified as a Butcher or as a Leatherworker.

Nitwit
The Nitwit NPC was available as "Generic" NPC in Minecraft's Beta 1.9. They were removed, and in 1.11 made a return as the "Nitwit" NPC. There are no variants to Nitwit NPCs.

Zombie Villagers
Zombie villagers are zombies that are found in the world naturally that can be turned into villagers. The process of turning zombie villagers into villagers is simple: throw down a splash potion of weakness onto them, and feed them a golden apple. Sometime in the next 5 minutes, the zombie will turn back into a villager.


 * Note - during those 5 minutes, the zombie villager could still burn to death if exposed to sunlight.

Trading
When you right click on a villager, a window opens up that tells you the type of villager you are interacting with, as well as what the villager is currently willing to trade. The majority of the time, the villager wishes to trade some base item for emeralds, but occasionally the villager will wish to take your emeralds in exchange for something, such as a compass or an enchanted book. Each profession and career of villager has multiple tiers associated with trading, and these tiers are specific to the villager you are trading with (e.g., if you trade to tier 4 with one villager, the next villager will start trading with you on tier 1).

Nitwit
Nitwits do not have any trades available, and right-clicking on them will open a blank grey screen, with no trade slots showing.
