Once you find a village, find a villager. Trade by interacting with it. Once you will interact with it you will see a full menu of available trades. When you first trade with a villager, hover over one of the 2 boxes with availble trades. The
first item in the box is the item that the villager wants. The 2nd item is what you get in exchnge for trading. The main currency for villager trading is emeralds. Emeralds can only be found in extreme
hills biomes, and are the rarest ores in minecraft.
You can also get emeralds by trading with villagers. The more you trade with a villager, the more trades you will unlock.
