Q&A for How to Live in a Village in Minecraft

Finding a village offers many benefits. First, they offer access to free items. All around a village, you’ll find chests filled with random items, and you can also find farms that are filled with many different seeds and grown foods. These farms can provide food—which will sustain your hunger now and in the future—and seeds to help you build farms and breed animals.

Light up the village completely so if you walk around with the F4/debug screen up, the light level is always above 10. Sleep every night in your bed to make sure no mobs spawn at night. Like the article says, spawn several iron volumes around the village to attack unwanted visitors.

The seed may be glitched or the villagers have been killed before you reached there.

No! It's a great way to start and get some resources easily that take hours of mining or searching to find.

Iron golems spawn naturally in villages, provided there are 10 villagers and at least 21 houses (counted as doors). The chance of spawning is 1 in 7000 per tick, which averages around one every six minutes.

Yes, which is why it says to create an overhang so spiders can't get through.

Yes, just sprint and fly, and you will fly faster. Just remember to switch 'generate structures' on before you create a world.

You don't have to worry about shelter, since there are are quite a few houses in the village to choose from. You can also destroy the other houses for resources, and you can use the village's farms. And you can trade with the villagers without having to travel across half you world.

You can, but you have to build it. There is no command, so a you can do is have a good memory and try to build the same house again.

First of all, you’d need to equip a villager skin. Then you’d need to determine your role. Are you a farmer? Harvest the crops and plant more! Are you a blacksmith? Make weapons!

I haven't found anything like that in the regular game, but there might be a mod out there with a witch village.

You can't trade with villagers on Minecraft Pocket Edition yet.

Yes. You could build a temple. Or, if there already are, you can live there and make the villagers worship you as a god.

Unfortunately, in many game versions, you can't find obsidian or diamonds in a chest, but you can sometimes find iron if you're lucky. However, some versions of the game will allow you to find obsidian.

Any material will do, but some material is better than others. Obsidan is best as it is Creeper proof. Also, use a material that is mob proof or a creeper will blow up your house and the mobs will come in.

Zombie sieges occur with a village population of 20 or more, and there must be enough beds (as in the village and pillage update, they focus on beds), around 20 or so. Wait until night. No matter how well lit your village is, they spawn anyway. The best way to get rid of this is to sleep.

Survive, trade with the villagers, live in their houses, help them survive, gather loot items from the weapon-smith's house. That's about all you can do in a village.

Because the iron golem is protecting the village and the villagers.

1.14 is an update, so it's still the same as it was when this tutorial was written.

You can try to get a wolf skin or get a mod. You cannot be a wolf in regular Minecraft.

Yes, just get redstone, a lever, or a button, and TNT. It wouldn't be very nice to do this though.

It's a Zombie Villager. The generation rate of this village is about 2 percent. But be careful, as Zombie villagers might be there, especially if you are an Explorer, Looter and Griefer.

Villagers can pull levers. You may need to remove the lever, and only use it to get in, then destroy it.

They can, but endermen aren't hostile to villagers, so they're no threat to them. If you really don't want endermen in your village, sleep every night or make sure to put a roof that's only two blocks above the ground.

Pillagers are hostile mobs, and they're hostile to villagers too. So villagers will try to avoid them and run away if they detect pillagers.

Any mob that can see you stares at you. At some point though, they'll walk away and do whatever they were designed to do. But hostile mobs that can see you will try to reach and attack you.

If you hit a villager/attacked one, the iron golem will chase you and try to kill you. This works the same if you hit the iron golem.

You can't start a raid unless you use mods, commands, or kill a pillager captain that will give you bad omen. To remove it, you can drink milk/ die.

Villagers wander randomly around the village. It may just be a coincidence.
