An armorer is a villager that trades foundry items and sells iron, chain, and diamond armor. Armorers wear a welding mask, iron shoulder pads, dark brown gloves, and a dark brown apron.

An unemployed villager turns into an armorer when an unclaimed blast furnace is nearby.

The workstation of armorers, the blast furnace, generates in armorer houses in villages.

In Java Edition, an armorer can drop various items by throwing them as a gift towards a nearby player with the Hero of the Village effect. The gift is randomly selected from the following list:

• Chainmail Helmet
• Chainmail Chestplate
• Chainmail Leggings
• Chainmail Boots

This section describes an experimental feature in Java Edition and Bedrock Edition.

 

This feature is not enabled in-game by default and requires enabling the "Villager Trade Rebalance" experimental data pack in Java Edition. or the "Villager Trade Rebalancing" setting in the "Experiments" section in Bedrock Edition.

Enabling the villager trade rebalance experiment changes the trades of armorer. Notably:

• Buying diamond armor now also requires a small amount of diamonds.
• Most master-level armorers buy iron blocks and pay 4 emeralds for them.
• Chainmail armor is exclusively sold by jungle and swamp armorers.
• The savanna armorer sells cursed diamond armor at reduced prices.
• The taiga armorer can swap one piece of diamond armor for another. Damaged, enchanted, and cursed armor are accepted, making 8 the minimum number of diamonds required for a full set.
