In Minecraft, how do you barter?

Bartering with a piglin is fairly simple. Simply drop gold ingots next to it or give the ingot by right-clicking on it. Following that, the piglin will inspect the ingot for a few seconds before taking it and dropping an item. Bartering in Minecraft is one of the quickest ways to obtain a rare item.

Below is a list of all items you can barter from a piglin and their drop chances:

1 Enchanted book with a random level of Soul Speed: ~1.09%.
Soul Speed enchanted iron boots: ~1.74%.
8-16 Gravel or Blackstone: ~8.71%.
3-9 String: ~4.36%.
10-36 Iron nugget: ~2.18%.
1 Obsidian: ~8.71%.
1-3 Crying obsidian: ~8.71%.
Fire charge: ~8.71%.
Splash potion of Fire Resistance: ~1.74%.
Potion of Fire Resistance: ~1.74%.
Water bucket: ~2.18%.
2-4 Ender pearl: ~2.18%.
5-12 Nether Quartz: -4.36%.
2-4 Leather: ~8.17%.
6-12 Spectral arrow (Java Edition only)/Arrow (Bedrock Edition only): ~8.17%.
2-8 Soul Sand: ~8.17%.
2-8 Nether brick: ~8.17%.

Drops have the same probability in both the Java and Bedrock versions. The only renewable source of nether quartz, crying obsidian, soul sand, nether brick [JE only], gravel, blackstone, and the Soul Speed enchantment is bartering.

How to Construct a Bartering Farm

Piglins are neutral mobs that can be found in crimson forests, nether wastes, and bastion ruins. Wear any piece of Gold armour to make them like you. As piglins flee from zombified piglins, soul fire, soul torches, soul campfires, and soul lanterns, you can use one of those items to lure piglins to your farm, where they can be caged with blocks.

After that, equip them with gold armour or name tag them to keep them from despawning. They do not despawn in peaceful mode, unlike most hostile mobs, but they still follow normal hostile mob despawning rules.

After you’ve gathered enough piglins, simply dump your stack of gold ingots and wait for the items they’ve created.

What is the best way to use bartering while speedrunning?

Farming Ender Pearls is one of the more time-consuming aspects of Minecraft speedrunning. Bartering may allow you to avoid this. Piglins can give players Ender Pearls in exchange for gold ingots, which can be crafted into Eyes of Ender. As a result, players can find the end portal and progress to the final zone of the game.
