Minecraft:Cartographer

A cartographer is a Minecraft:villager that Minecraft:trades various maps, compasses, as well as banners and banner patterns. Cartographers wear a golden monocle and an empty map pack.

Spawning

An unemployed Minecraft:villager turns into an cartographer when an unclaimed Minecraft:cartography table is nearby.

Natural generation

The workstation of cartographers, the Minecraft:cartography table, generates in cartographer houses in Minecraft:villages.

Drops

Template:IN, a cartographer can drop various items by throwing them as a gift towards a nearby player with the Minecraft:Hero of the Village effect. The gift is randomly selected from the following list:

• Template:ItemLink
• Template:ItemLink

Biome-dependent trades

The apprentice-level explorer maps and expert-level banners that cartographers sell depend on their biome variant. The table below shows which maps and banners each biome variant can have in stock.

Biome-dependent probabilities

Glass panes and item frames can be sold by cartographers from any biome, but the probabilities of these trades depend on the biome the villager is from. This is because the amount of explorer maps or banners they can sell varies based on the villager's biome; this changes the total amount of trades they can pick from, affecting the chance of each individual trade at apprentice or expert level.

	Template:EntitySprite Desert	Template:EntitySprite Jungle	Template:EntitySprite Plains	Template:EntitySprite Savanna	Template:EntitySprite Snowy	Template:EntitySprite Swamp	Template:EntitySprite Taiga
Template:BlockSprite Glass pane probability	50%	50%	67%	50%	50%	50%	50%
Template:ItemSprite Item frame probability	33%	50%	40%	40%	33%	50%	40%
