Emerald ore drops one emerald when mined using an iron pickaxe or better. If the pickaxe is enchanted with Fortune, it may drop an extra emerald per level of Fortune, up to a maximum of 4 emeralds with Fortune III. If the ore is mined using a pickaxe enchanted with [[Minecraft:Silk Touch]], it drops itself in ore form instead of as an emerald. | [[Minecraft:Emerald ore]] drops one emerald when mined using an [[Minecraft:iron pickaxe]] or better.

Emeralds can be obtained by trading with [[Minecraft:villager]]s and wandering | Emeralds can be obtained by [[Minecraft:trading]] with [[Minecraft:villager]]s and [[Minecraft:wandering trader]]s, since they are the currency that villagers use for trading. Villagers and wandering traders buy various goods in return for emeralds. Trading is typically a faster way to obtain emeralds than by mining, as an emerald ore is rarer than a diamond ore. | ||

For the {{{Description}}} of the same name, see [[{{{Destination}}}]]. |
Template:Infobox item Emeralds are minerals that are used primarily as the currency for Minecraft:trading with Minecraft:villagers and Minecraft:wandering traders.
Obtaining
Mining
Minecraft:Emerald ore drops one emerald when mined using an Minecraft:iron pickaxe or better. If the pickaxe is enchanted with Minecraft:Fortune, it may drop an extra emerald per level of Fortune, up to a maximum of 4 emeralds with Fortune III. If the ore is mined using a pickaxe enchanted with Minecraft:Silk Touch, it drops itself in ore form instead of as an emerald.
Crafting
Smelting
Trading
Emeralds can be obtained by Minecraft:trading with Minecraft:villagers and Minecraft:wandering traders, since they are the currency that villagers use for trading. Villagers and wandering traders buy various goods in return for emeralds. Trading is typically a faster way to obtain emeralds than by mining, as an emerald ore is rarer than a diamond ore.
Mob loot
Minecraft:Foxes that are holding emeralds also have a chance of 100% to drop the emerald they are holding upon death. Alternatively, the player can drop a food item to entice the fox to drop the emerald without killing it.
Template:IN, Minecraft:wandering traders have a chance of 8.5% (increased by 1% per level of Minecraft:Looting) to drop emeralds when killed while showing the item as trade offer. The amount corresponds to the available trade if it is available; if the player holds a Minecraft:hay bale, Minecraft:water bottle, or Minecraft:baked potato, the trader drops 1 emerald; if the player holds a Minecraft:milk bucket or Minecraft:water bucket, the trader drops 2 emeralds; and if the player holds a Minecraft:fermented spider eye the trader drops 3 emeralds.
Generated loot
Template:See also Emeralds can generate in Minecraft:chests in some Minecraft:village houses or other Minecraft:generated structures. Template:LootChestItem
Usage
Trading
The main use of emeralds is as currency for Minecraft:trading with Minecraft:villagers and Minecraft:wandering traders. They sell various items in return for emeralds and occasionally additional other items.
Crafting ingredient
Beacons
Emeralds can be used to select powers from a Minecraft:beacon. The player must select one of the available powers and then insert an emerald into the item slot.
An emerald can be substituted for an Minecraft:iron ingot, a Minecraft:gold ingot, a Minecraft:diamond or a Minecraft:netherite ingot in a beacon.
