How to Make a Minecraft Village
Want to know how to make a Minecraft Village? Building a village takes time, resources, and determination, but it’s worth it. Villagers can help you with the most basic tasks, and their presence – along with a church and a marketplace – can really make your Minecraft world feel alive and real.
To get started, you need to build houses with beds for the villagers to sleep in. Craft extra beds to ensure there are enough for breeding. You can acquire villagers in a couple of ways. You can either cure zombie villagers or kidnap villagers. Let’s start with curing zombies.
Curing Zombie Villagers
Cure zombie villagers by giving them a golden apple while under the effects of a splash potion. The splash potion can be made with the following ingredients:
If you’re lucky enough to acquire these items, the process goes like this:
Kidnapping Villagers
Kidnapping villagers is easier, but requires either water or land to complete. You can even use the Nether as a shortcut to transport villagers.
Once you have villagers, simply feed them a golden apple while under the effects of a potion to make them happy. Villagers will breed when they have enough food in their inventories. Repeating this breeding process will grow your village faster.
Now you know how to create a village in Minecraft, here are all the villagers you can expect to see in your new settlement. Each one has their own profession, which is represented by their clothing. Villagers become employed by claiming workstation blocks, which is important because each profession has their own trades and benefits.
Decorate your village as you please, and keep it safe from monsters by enclosing it with fences or walls. An open village will often attract unwanted attention from zombies and skeletons. Keep the village well-lit to prevent monster spawns – use carpets and half slabs to create safe dark areas.
Now you know how to make a village in Minecraft, keep your new residents happy by decorating their homes and keeping the village safe – enclosed villages are a must. You can also claim workstation blocks for villagers of each profession to occupy. Each block offers unique trades and benefits, so it’s worth filling your village with as many villagers as possible.
