Sizes and quality

The Emerald texture is 16×16 pixels in game. Here it scales by multiplying each pixel by a whole number, so at 1024 px every pixel is a perfect square and the edges stay sharp. No interpolation smudging the pixel art.

Emerald: how to get it and what it is for

The emerald is the game’s currency: you use it to buy from and sell to villagers and the wandering trader. Trading is the fastest way to get them, because emerald ore is even rarer than diamond ore.

The ore only generates in mountain biomes and drops one emerald when mined with an iron pickaxe or better; Fortune III can get you up to four, and Silk Touch takes the ore block itself. Nine emeralds make a block of emerald, and the block crafts back into nine.

Vindicators and evokers drop them too, and they sometimes turn up in village and structure chests. If you see a fox with an emerald in its mouth, drop some food and it lets go without you having to hurt it.

Besides trading, it pays for a beacon’s powers like iron, gold, diamond or netherite, and at a smithing table it gives armor trims a bright green.

On villager or trading hall thumbnails, a stack of emeralds says money without any text.
