Villages and their inhabitants play a pivotal role in the world of Minecraft. So, what makes village communities in Minecraft so intriguing? Let's delve into it with Mytour!
#10 Villages Can Flourish
According to Jens Bergensten, a leading designer at Mojang, villages can increase in population if players make improvements and additions to them. Essentially, you can construct additional houses, place beds inside, then wait for them to breed and inhabit those houses.
#9 Origins of Villagers
Villagers in Minecraft draw inspiration from a game called Dungeon Master 2, released on various gaming platforms in the early 1990s.
The storyline of Dungeon Master 2 primarily revolves around exploring mysterious underground tunnels. This similarity is what Minecraft learned from and eventually evolved into a legendary game.
#8 Pillars for House Support
The End isn't the only place with colossal pillars. If some houses in the village are built on mountains, there's a way to prevent large gaps underneath. The houses will create dirt blocks beneath the floor to support them. Even when appearing in vast, open areas like mountain crevices, houses will have a large dirt pillar generated to support them.
#7 Piglins are Essentially Village Folks
We've all seen that Piglins in the Nether are ferocious creatures, armed and as dim-witted as zombies on the surface. But according to some theories, Piglins are considered villagers. Hopefully, in the future, developers will create a community of characters similar to villagers, especially ones that are more 'friendly' than Piglins, so we have a place to rest in the Nether.
#6 Lonely Villages Still Exist
Villages don't always spring up with numerous houses. Sometimes, we only come across a single house with a lone villager. However, this phenomenon isn't widespread. Nevertheless, encountering such a village is intriguing; it's as if this lone villager is enjoying the tranquility that can only be found when alone. Let's befriend him a bit.
#5 Villagers Can Run Faster Than Players
Normally, villagers move at a slow to moderate speed while carrying out their tasks. But when night falls, they rush into their homes faster than we can move. These villagers simply don't possess any weapons or armor to defend themselves, so if the village's defense system is threatened, their speed becomes their only advantage for survival in the harsh world of Minecraft.
#4 Farmers Are Incredibly Useful in Farming
Farmers are the hardest working villagers we find in the village. They tend to the fields all day, ensuring crops grow healthy.
They actively use bone meal on crops to accelerate their growth and place spare seeds into the composter. Their AI is smart enough to recognize and pick up necessary items dropped on the ground.
#3 Villagers Can Sleep on Boats
If you place a boat near a bed, villagers can lie down on it and rest within the wooden vessel. This seems somewhat comical, akin to them lying in a coffin. In reality, this stems from villagers being unable to sit in boats like players, so they will either stand upright or lie down.
#2 Villager Appearances Will Change
Currently, villages can appear in swamps and jungles, and the appearance of villagers in these special areas will change to suit the theme. Villagers in jungles appear as if they are wearing some kind of animal hide clothing, in shades of yellow and brown.
Moreover, they can also adorn themselves with layers of tree leaves. Meanwhile, villagers in swamps are covered in moss and wear flowers on their heads. All of these have very interesting designs that you sometimes overlook.
#1 Ravagers Can Destroy Crops
Ravagers will appear and attack villagers during a Raid event. This hulking beast is not only a challenge for players but also poses a threat to villagers. They wreak havoc on crops and can rampage through villages to the extent of killing them entirely. When triggering an attack, be sure to 'take care' of this beast before it causes significant damage.
And there you have it, 10 interesting facts about villages and villagers in Minecraft that you may not have known or paid attention to while playing.
