As stated above, emeralds are one of the rarest minerals in Minecraft. Unfortunately, they are also extremely useful when it comes to trading with villagers for high-level loot.

Trading with the various villagers is by far one of the best ways to collect large amounts of emeralds. Certain villagers ask for certain materials like flint or coal for emeralds, which are extremely easy to acquire. These simple exchanges are the best way for even early-game Minecraft players to acquire large amounts of emeralds quickly.

Minecraft players can also mine emeralds, however this technique is much less effective than trading. In fact, trading is so effective that not all other methods are recommended to try. However, there are still other methods to find emeralds for players who don't have access to villagers.

One of the last (slightly) effective techniques for finding emeralds in Minecraft 1.17's Caves & Cliffs update is from buried treasure. Players will often find treasure maps scattered along the shores of the Overworld. These maps will lead the player to buried treasure chests, which have a good chance of containing 4-8 emeralds.



The buried treasure technique is probably the best way to find emeralds for those who don't have access to a village.
