Creating a village in Minecraft and swiftly building it up

As mentioned earlier by Mytour, when players use a randomly generated map, finding a village can become challenging. Instead, the solution is for players to autonomously establish a village in the game.

Creating a Village in Minecraft

1. Gather Villagers

There are two ways to gather villagers in Minecraft 1.19: either kidnap villagers from another village or cure zombie villagers.

2. Kidnap Villagers from Another Village

Your task is to get villagers onto a boat by pushing them or sailing the boat into them. Villagers won't leave until the boat is broken.

Next, sail the boat to the location where you want to build the village. Note that you can move villagers onto the ground.

3. Cure Zombie Villagers

You can find Zombie villagers in abandoned villages, beneath the basement of igloos, and sometimes they may also appear in the overworld.

First, dig a 2-3 block deep pit to trap Zombie villagers, then use 1 Potion of Weakness and 1 golden apple to cure them. Additionally, use a roof to cover the pit to protect Zombie villagers from burning under the sunlight, then you can move villagers around.

In the basement of igloos, there's a Zombie villager and a cleric villager. Curing them grants players 2 villagers for breeding.

4. How to Create a Village in Minecraft 1.19

Typically, villagers will need shelter to stay away from dangerous mobs like Zombies or village raiders. Players just need to build a house and provide a bed to suffice.

Simple House

This is suitable for players looking to breed villagers with limited resources. In this, players just need to place a bed, wait for villagers to come to sleep, and build a house around it.

Players can also add a torch or other functional blocks.

Breeding House

This is a simple method to gather villagers for breeding.

Step 1: Place 10 beds and 1 bell where villagers can gather.
Step 2: Set up at least one Composter to turn a villager into a farmer.
Step 3: Create a water pit, hoe the surrounding soil, and provide villagers with seeds to start working.

Trading Hall

A trading hall is where villagers can come to exchange goods. Players can use iron doors or fences to prevent villagers from escaping, while ensuring ample lighting.

The focal point of the trading hall is an enclosed area for villagers, approximately 4 blocks in size: 2 blocks for beds, 1 work block, 1 block for villagers to stand. Players should position villagers between the bed and the work block.

The ceiling should be around 3 blocks high for Iron Golems to move freely. Players can let villagers move freely or separate them individually.

5. Establishing a Defense System for the Village

Since artificial villages can also be attacked by Zombies and village raiders like natural villages, players should build a defense system for the village. The larger the village, the higher the risk of zombie attacks. Zombies usually attack when the village has at least 20 villagers and 10 beds with the player present.

Firstly, players should place a bell in the safest location. When rung, villagers will retreat into their houses.

Next, players should illuminate the village to prevent mobs from spawning and choose their preferred defensive approach.

6. Various Defensive Mechanisms for Villages in Minecraft 1.19

- Iron Golem: A colossal golem is the most effective defense if players have enough iron ingots and pumpkins.
- Dragon's Breath: Deals damage on contact.
- Lava, magma blocks, and burning netherrack: Burns mobs, inflicting significant damage.
- Spider webs, soul sand: Restrict mob movement for players to eliminate.
