This merchant sells common and rare items at a fair price.

In-game description

The village merchant is a “humble and honest”[1] merchant that can be found within the camp after being rescued by the hero within the Creeper Woods of Minecraft Dungeons.

Appearance[]

The village merchant wears a green robe with a hood that covers the upper-right side of its forehead. Its hood has sewn lines around it. It is also seen wearing a monocle, and seen holding an object used to find hidden details in maps. It also wears a leather belt around its waist and dark brown pants and boots. Unlike normal villagers, this merchant possesses light grey eyes and a monobrow.

Interaction[]

The village merchant is the villager that sells common and rare items near the hero's power level at a rather cheap price, but it can be somewhat expensive if they are rare artifacts. This merchant has a rare chance of selling uniques, which is impacted by Luck of the Sea. To unlock other slots in the merchant’s stall, the hero must save a certain number of villagers. The power level of the hero is determined upon entering the camp; therefore, if the hero equips items with higher power levels in the camp, it does not count toward the power level when trading with the village merchant.

Sounds[]

An '''ink sac''' is an [[item]] dropped by a [[squid]] upon death used to create [[black dye]], [[dark prismarine]]{{only|BE|short=1}}, and [[Book and Quill|books and quills]].

== Obtaining ==

=== Mob loot ===

==== Squid ====
{{see also|Tutorials/Squid farming|title1=Squid farming}}

A [[squid]] drops one to three ink sacs upon death. The maximum amount is increased by 1 per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 1 to 6 with Looting III.

=== Fishing ===
Ink sacs can be obtained as a "junk" item from [[fishing]]. The [[Luck of the Sea]] [[enchantment]] decreases the chance.

=== Trading ===
[[Wandering trader]]s sometimes sell 3 ink sacs for an [[emerald]] {{in|bedrock}}. Apprentice level [[Trading#Librarian|librarians]] also buy 5 ink sacs for one [[emerald]].

=== Natural generation ===

=== Trading ===
Journeyman-level librarian [[villager]]s have a {{frac|2|3}} chance to buy five ink sacs for an [[emerald]]. They always offer the trade {{in|bedrock|lc=}}.

== Trivia ==
* In real life, lapis lazuli is a blue gem that can be ground and processed into ultramarine pigment. Lapis lazuli pigment has been famously used in the production of illuminated manuscripts, stained glass, and cave paintings. [[Wikipedia:Lapis lazuli|See the Wikipedia article for more information]].
* Lapis lazuli is the only [[ore]] that can be used as a [[dye]]{{only|BE|short=1}} or making a dye.
* It is the only item that can be put in the second slot of an [[enchantment table]].
