The fletching table is one of many blocks in the Minecraft game, and it is a rare block that can be found in certain villages. Several types of villagers will differ in their profession in the Minecraft village; they will wear different clothes and have different trades to offer the players, one of whom is a fletcher. As a result, fletchers are naturally generated in villages.

When Minecraft players are unemployed villagers and want to trade, this is where the fletching table comes in. This table helps turn an unemployed villager into a Fletcher. Fletching tables generate naturally inside the fletcher houses, but the players do not have to worry because we can also craft them to encourage more villagers to become fletchers.

The fletching table in the Minecraft game looks similar to a tan block with a bow and arrow on one side and a target on the other. Fletching tables are available in all current Minecraft versions, including the Java Edition and Pocket Edition. But we cannot find the fletching tables on Xbox 360, PS3, and so on. Not to worry, Manoj might make a change so that we can access these versions too.

To check if the villager has naturally spawned a fletching table, the players can enter each house to find it or look for a fletcher villager roaming about. The fletcher can be identified by a brown hat with a feather on it; this is a common way for players to obtain the table.

How can we use Table Fletcher?

As we have already read, the fletching table helps to employ any villager as a fletcher, and the player can trade several items related to archery like arrows, bows, crossbows, etc.

In Minecraft games, Fletcher is a great opportunity for the villagers as they give emeralds for sticks, and sticks are extremely easy to craft. You need not worry about the emeralds because the players can get a lot of emeralds from them.

Fletching tables are not old. The players can see the UI for a split second in spectator mode, but the UI can be crafted. Many players have noticed a potential user interface with this particular block, and in spectator mode, the players can see that and deduce that a future update (i.e., in 2022) might introduce a clickable use for the table, as we do for the arrows.

Unfortunately, there is no vanilla Minecraft version. But there are a few useful uses of fletching tables.

The fletching table in the Minecraft game can be used as a target block. Although there are many dedicated target blocks in the game, the fletching table also has a small target on one of its faces. So, the players can place the block as they choose and practice their arrow shooting.

Decoration

In Minecraft, fletching tables have a unique look when compared to other Minecraft, which presents a great opportunity for decoration. However, the players do not have a function to click on, but they can be used to spice things up or add some personality.

Fuel source

All wooden blocks can be used as fuel in a furnace, smoker, or even a blast furnace in a pinch, but they are not valuable fuel sources. When the players don’t have coal or any other sources, then a wooden block might be more convenient to use because they are going to smelt 1.5 items in a furnace.

In the Minecraft games, the fletching tables can be used as fuel in furnaces, smelting 1.5 items per block, and they can be placed under note blocks to produce the “bass” sound.

Job block 

The best use of the fletching tables is as a job block. The unemployed villager’s player can pick it up and become a fletcher, who will be able to trade the following valuable items at a certain level, which is mentioned below:

• 2 Emeralds & 5 Arrows for 5 Tipped Arrows in Master.
• 8 Tripwire Hooks for 1 Emerald in Master.
• 8 to 22 Emeralds for 1 Enchanted Crossbow in Master.
• 24 Feathers for 1 Emerald in Expert.
• 7 to 21 Emeralds for 1 Enchanted Bow in Expert.
• 32 Sticks for 1 Emerald in Novice.
• 1 Emerald & 10 Gravel for 10 Flint in Novice.
• 1 Emerald for 16 Arrows in Novice.
• 14 String for 1 Emerald in Journeyman.
• 3 Emeralds for 1 Crossbow in Journeyman.
• 26 Flint for 1 Emerald in Apprentice.
• 2 Emeralds for 1 Bow in Apprentice.

Unfortunately, the tipped arrows will vary in type, but it is easier to get them from the villager than brew the potions and try to craft the arrows in the game.

How to craft or obtain the fletching table in Minecraft

Follow the following steps to craft the Minecraft fletching table

• Gather the materials for a Fletching Table and it requires only a few basic materials: 4 wooden planks of any type (oak, dark oak, spruce, birch, jungle, acacia, crimson, and warped planks) and 2 flints (we can get it by mining gravel).
• Now Open the crafting table by standing in front of it and right-clicking or tapping on it. If the player is in the console, try these below options:
  • PS4: Press L2.
  • Xbox One: Press LT.
  • Nintendo Switch or Wii U: Press ZL.
• Place the collected 2 flints in the top-left two slots and leave the third slot on the top row blank.

• Then Place the 2 planks into the first two slots on the second line. Players need not worry about the type of planks because they can be of any type. Try to leave the third slot on the second-row blank.

• The final step is to Place 2 more planks into the first two slots on the third row and this produces a Fletching Table, which the players can drag down into inventory.

How to Turn Villagers into Minecraft Fletchers

• The Minecraft player has to Place the Fletching Table in a cramped area but if the player needs a quick and easy way to produce more fletchers in a village then they can coerce jobless villagers into interacting with the help of Fletching Table by placing the table in a villager’s home or anywhere near the villager so that it is going to help many.
• Try to Seal the area once a villager is near the Fletching Table. Sometimes the villager doesn’t interact with the table on their own, so we can block with the help of the below procedure:
  • We can prevent the villager from exiting the area with the Fletching Table so that they will have no choice other than to interact with it.
  • Once a villager interacts with the table, we can see the green stars around their head, and then that player suddenly will be wearing a brown hat.

• Now we can Level up the fletcher by buying and selling. When the player that is fletcher is a novice, we can only trade for emeralds, arrows, and flints. Continuing to trade with one fletcher turns them into a Master Fletcher who can get player-tipped arrows. The following are all the trades we can do with a fletcher at a different level:
  • Novice
    • 32 sticks for 1 emerald.
    • 1 emerald for 16 arrows.
    • 1 emerald and 10 gravel for 10 flints.
  • Apprentice
    • 26 flints for 1 emerald.
    • 2 emeralds for 1 bow.
  • Journeyman
    • 14 strings for 1 emerald.
    • 3 emeralds for 1 crossbow.
  • Expert
    • 24 feathers for 1 emerald.
    • 7 to 21 emeralds for 1 enchanted bow.
  • Master
    • 8 tripwire hooks for 1 emerald.
    • 8 to 22 emeralds for 1 enchanted crossbow.
    • 2 emeralds and 5 arrows for 5 tipped arrows.
