Villagers count doors rather than actual houses, so to increase the population of your village, you should build houses with plenty of doors. Villagers will only get together and have babies if there is enough housing for them, so if you want to increase the population of the village you will have to build more houses. Bread works best, but carrots and potatoes are good too.Īfter breeding, villagers will lose their willingness and require further encouragement, so keep feeding and trading with them as long as you want to increase the population. If you throw food to villagers then that will ensure they have plenty and will encourage them to breed. Villagers usually carry some food around with them, and sometimes you can see them givng food to one another. The other thing that makes villagers willing is having plenty of food. Trading with a villager for the first time will make it willing after that, there is a 1 in 5 chance each time you do a repeat trade. There are two ways to make villagers willing to breed: trade with them, and make sue they have plenty of food. To make a baby villager, you need to have two villagers willing at the same time. When a villager is willing to breed, you will see red hearts over its head. If you keep your villagers happy (see Willingness below) they will breed until they have filled up all the available housing. Two things control the population of villagers whether there is enough housing for them, and whether they are happy. You can right-click on a villager to trade with him. Villagers will wander around harvesting thei crops and looking at stuff during the day, and go home at night or when it’s raining.

You will encounter five types of villager: farmers (brown robes), librarians (white robes), priests (purple robes), blacksmiths (black aprons) and butchers (white aprons). Villagers are “passive mobs”, meaning that they will not fight you. Tip: if you move into a village and want to use the well as a water source, place some blocks below the surface so the water is only 1 block deep.
