Get a tool smith and buy tools. Emeralds are super easy to get in bulk with master fisherman and fletchers. Selling sweet berries to butchers is another great source.

Or sell iron from an iron farm or melons and pumpkins from one of those farms. Trade with librarians for mending books, never break a netherite item again!

WHAT IS ANY OF THIS (haven’t played since beta)

Villagers are human like mobs you trade with. Emeralds are used as a currency. Most fletchers buy sticks from you. The more you do business with a villager, the more trade options they have. High level fisherman buy a boat (5 wooden planks) for one emeralds.

Tool smiths start selling high quality enchanted iron and diamond tools once they are mid level. Enchantments do things like increase durability (unbreaking), improve speed (efficiency), and many other upgrades. Once you have a tool smith that sells say diamond axes, anything else is pointless to keep beyond an emergency backup. Cost isn't a factor because the aforementioned selling of sticks and boats mean emeralds are a cheap and renewable resource.

Thank you! I could have looked it up but that’s a lot to look up. The game sounds quite different than when I played, jeez!
