Chance = how likely one kill drops the item · Avg. per kill = expected amount per kill · Looting only counts when a player kills the mob with a Looting weapon.
A Vindicator drops 0–1 Emerald (50% chance) in Java Edition. All of these drops need special conditions. Bedrock Edition differs slightly — use the edition switch in the drop table.
No. The Vindicator does not use the biome spawn tables — it appears in specific structures, through spawners or events, or is built or summoned by players.
Yes. With Looting III a Vindicator drops on average 2 Emerald per kill instead of 0.5 without Looting (Java Edition). Switch the Looting level in the drop table to see every item.
