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.

Villager trade rebalance
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.
