A fisherman is a villager who sells fishing items and campfires. Fishermen wear fisher hats and have a blue fish as well as a net on their trousers secured with a strap.

Spawning

An unemployed villager turns into an fisherman when an unclaimed barrel is nearby.

Natural generation

The workstation of fishermans, the barrel, generates in fisherman houses in villages.

Drops

In Java Edition, a fisherman 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:

• Raw Cod
• Raw Salmon

1. ↑ The price of this trade is the base price, 3 emeralds, plus the random base enchantment level chosen (5–19).
2. ↑ When creating an enchantment offer, the game uses a random enchantment level from 5 to 19 as the base enchantment level (see Enchanting table mechanics). The enchantments are never treasure enchantments.
3. ↑ The type of boat trade depends on the biome outfit of the villager. Plains villagers buy oak boats, taiga and snowy villagers buy spruce boats, desert and jungle villagers buy jungle boats, savanna villagers buy acacia boats, and swamp villagers buy dark oak boats.
