There is more than meets the eye with the villager NPCs that populate the remote settlements inMinecraft. Most actually have jobs tied to what are called job blocks, which are simply items that determine what job the villager. These job blocks also determined what items the villager has to trade. Because of this, it would be a good idea to learn how to change villager jobs so that you can gain access to different tradeable items.
How to change Minecraft Villager Jobs
To change a Villager’s job inMinecraft,you need to destroy their job block and have one about 50 blocks nearby that is vacant. Also, make sure the new job block is in plain sight as if they can’t see it, they will not go to it. Once you destroy their job block, they’ll get a little upset with you, but they will go to the closest empty job block after a while.

You can also tell if a villager belongs to a specific job by their appearance or if they are standing at one of these blocks. You can also see what the job they have by opening the trade menu with them; at the top of the trade menu, their job will be displayed, as shown in the image below.
That said, if you see one of these villagers and don’t like the job they have, find where they live and destroy their job block and have one nearby in plain sight. After that, that’s all you need to do to change villager jobs inMinecraft.
