So, today we will talk to you about how to make residents of villages and cities in Minecraft. In addition, we will find out why they are needed at all and what they are. Maybe these are some dangerous creatures who will then haunt us all the time?!

Let's get acquainted

So, who are the inhabitants of Minecraft? In fact, these are none other than the most ordinary human mobs. Outwardly, such little people are practically no different from the main character. That is, from our player. But if you installed a mod for residents in Minecraft, then most likely each new character will be different from the previous one.

Why do we need residents? To begin with, it is worth knowing that it was a person who was the very first mob in the history of the game. Initially it was interpreted as "monster". Nevertheless, such little men were not dangerous to the player. Yes and now too. If you are wondering how to make residents in Minecraft, then you need to know why they are needed.

Mob functions

For starters, this is pure variety for the game. After all, it will be very nice to see someone like yourself in the world. Moreover, the little men do not pose any danger to your character. So why not create a friend for yourself then?

In addition, the villagers are very useful characters. After all, in cities and villages you can contact them. Namely, trade. You can buy some items you need from a resident for various resources (for example, crystals). For example, something valuable, but something that you are currently unable to obtain yourself. So having a merchant in the game won't hurt.

Plus, the game people may have some specialization that will definitely help you. For example, a farmer or a blacksmith. They will allow you to make various transactions with them, depending on their specialization. Now let's talk in more detail about how to make residents in Minecraft.

Summoning Egg

So, the first option that you can use to deal with our question today is to use a special spawn egg. True, this method is only available in the “creativity” mode. However, this method is present in the game. But what is a spawn egg? Let's figure it out.

A spawn egg is nothing more than an ordinary chicken egg, endowed with the specific ability to create some kind of mobs. With their help, the player has the opportunity to make a creeper or, for example, a zombie. In general, any living creature that is found in the game world.

How to make villagers in Minecraft using a spawn egg? First, get the required item. After that, you just need to apply it to a free area and wait a little. In general, spawn eggs can be crafted from chicken egg and some item belonging to the mob. But not for residents. Here you can only get the item using the give command. But there is another option for the development of events.

Zombie, become human!

But how can you make residents in Minecraft without any eggs? Is this possible? Of course. To do this you will need to find zombies. It is from him that we will make a new person for our world. True, you will need to find several resources and make a special potion of weakness that is thrown at the zombies. What does that require?

You need to find an apple. It comes from leaves. True, getting the resource will be quite difficult. The drop rate is too low. Next, find It is made from gold nuggets or matching gold blocks. Combine the apple with the ingot. The golden apple will learn. Now you need to brew a potion of weakness. It requires a spider's eye, a bottle of water, sugar and gunpowder. In addition, you need to find a mushroom. Combine it with sugar and spider's eye and boil. Boil the resulting potion again with the addition of gunpowder and water. Now find a zombie and throw a potion of weakness at it. And then Wait a little, and he will turn into a man. That's all.

How to make a village in Minecraft?

A village in Minecraft is necessary primarily in order to trade with its inhabitants. Also in the village you can find and pick up many important and necessary items. Villages in the game space are quite rare and may not consist of the buildings that you need. However, the creators of the game provided the opportunity to independently build villages. Let's talk about how to make a village in Minecraft.

It is possible to create a village in Minecraft only in the desert, savannah and plain biomes. The choice of biome will depend on construction material for construction. In deserts it is sandstone, and on plains and savannas it is boards and stones.

The following types of structures can be created in the village.

Little hut

The following materials are required for construction: boards, cobblestones, wood, fence, stairs and windows. Up to seven such houses can be built in a village, and residents can live in them.

Big house

The materials for construction are the same as for a small hut. The difference between this house is its size and shape, reminiscent of the letter T. You can find farmers in such houses. There can be a maximum of five large houses in a village.

Tanner's shop

During the construction process, it is necessary to install one stone table inside this house, as well as 2 chairs from the steps around the table. In such houses there are always tanners and farmers.

Library

It is built like an elongated narrow house with a row of chairs and tables inside, as well as a row of books located under the ceiling.

Farm

The farm is formed by building 4 rows of beds, separated by water channels and surrounded by wood.

Church

It is built from cobblestones and cobblestone steps, located on 2 floors. Has an observation deck on the roof. You can move inside using a ladder. A priest in a purple robe always lives here.

In the game Minecraft, a village or NPC (non-player character) village is a group of buildings inhabited by these characters. They are generated in Minecraft world on plains, savannas or deserts. Villages in the plains and savanna biomes have structures made mostly of oak and cobblestone, while in deserts the houses are made of sandstone blocks.

Here are a couple of examples of villages in different biomes:

The purpose of villages in Minecraft is to provide housing for non-player characters with whom the player can trade common and rare items such as food, armor, weapons, etc.

The more NPC houses there are in a village, the more residents can be generated in it. The more residents, the richer the selection of items and the greater the likelihood of finding something valuable. NPCs use emeralds as currency, offering and accepting them in exchange for items.

Villagers: brief instructions

By finding or creating an NPC village, you can raise villagers and increase your population. It is limited by the number of houses in the village. Residents only breed as long as the number of adults is equal to or greater than 35% of the houses.

There are five main types of villagers: butchers, farmers, blacksmiths, librarians and priests.

Houses in an NPC village are counted by the number of doors in their respective structures. If you want to create your own village in Minecraft, you will need to take into account the number and placement of wooden doors.

NPC Village Structure

A typical NPC village has a number of buildings that are generated largely randomly. Not all villages have the same number or type of buildings, although they are all designed the same. If you find a village, it usually consists of the following buildings:

A structure with an earthen floor, windows, a rounded roof and sometimes a table (pressed slab on pillars). There is one settler living here.

It is the same size as a hut, but has a cobblestone or sandstone floor and a flat roof. Sometimes there is a fenced balcony with stairs. There is one settler living here.

Made from the same materials as small house, but larger in size and L-shaped. Generated with doors. Two farmers live here.

It has a small seating area (table with wooden chairs), a stone slab counter and a fenced back yard. A butcher and a farmer live here.

Longer than other structures and includes a bench (wooden steps) under a row of bookshelves and a crafting table. A librarian and a farmer live here.

Appears with a small workshop with lava, a forge, a chest and a workbench in the form of a stone slab. Has no doors. A blacksmith lives here.

Tall structure with three doors, stairs and glass panels. Includes a balcony on top and an altar inside. A priest and a farmer live here.

Villages are usually generated with wheat, carrot and potato farms, wells, lamp posts and roads to connect buildings. However, they do not necessarily appear with all of these attributes; huts and small houses appear most often, and libraries less often.

This randomly generated settlement has two butcher shops and two libraries.

Increasing the number of doors

When building your village, you don't have to be content with these randomly generated buildings. They are usually inefficient in relation to the size and number of blocks they are made of. To increase the size of buildings in a village to the maximum, you need simple structures with wooden doors, external, internal and roof units:

• House: wooden door with “external” and “internal” space;
• Interior space: has more space covered by roof blocks than exterior space;
• External space: has less space covered by roof blocks than internal space;
• Roof: Impenetrable block blocks direct sunlight.

Essentially, to get a "house" you need a wooden door with a block of material within five squares of the door on one side (inside) and no blocks within five squares on the other side (outside). Here's a simple example:

Wooden door with a block of earth on the inside. The game considers such a structure to be a full-fledged house!

The “inside” block makes up the “roof” of the house and can be of any height, including at ground level. Surround the block with four wooden doors, each opening outward, to create four houses.

This minimalistic design saves space, but it is not very beautiful or safe. On normal difficulty and higher, zombies appear at night and can attack and turn villagers into zombie villagers. If residents do not have protection when darkness falls, they are at risk of becoming zombies or being killed, including by skeletons, spiders and creepers. It doesn't matter how you build the houses as long as they meet the Minecraft "standard", but for the safety of the inhabitants it is worth using the "log house" structure:

1. Collect 25 wooden blocks, 6 wooden doors and 3 wooden planks;
2. Create a 3 x 5 base with a combination of wood blocks and wood doors;
3. Place the second level of wooden blocks on the foundation;
4. Build a roof using wooden blocks with three wooden planks in the middle.

The log home has six doors, making it six homes in one!

This simple and efficient structure has six doors and a chance of generating 2.01 inhabitants, which is the same as having six separate houses. Build several of these buildings and you can provide shelter to many residents, increase the population limit and motivate residents to reproduce.

WITH Minecraft versions 1.8 settlers reproduce only when they have the “desire”. Settlers gain a wish when trading with them; regular trading gives 3-6 experience, and with “desire” 8-11 experience. Also, the desire appears if residents have at least 3 units of bread, 12 potatoes, 12 carrots or 12 beets in their inventory. You can throw food to settlers so they can pick it up. When a child is born, the parents lose their desire and trading must be started anew.

To create more beautiful villages you can use different materials for different buildings, experiment with different architectures. You don't have to have roads and farms, but don't forget to keep the villages well lit with torches! Why this needs to be done exactly “well”, see the video below, where, it would seem, hostile mobs begin to appear in the author’s closed and illuminated settlement.

Zombies in the village

Constructing buildings with many doors no longer helps to increase the number of villages, since the "desire" factor of the inhabitants comes into play. However, there are a number of options; You can find and cure a zombie villager or move villagers from an NPC village to your own. Each method requires some effort.

Only 5% of zombies generated at night are village residents. Like regular zombies, zombie villagers will attack the player and NPCs, and they also can't stand the sun. Regular zombies are capable of turning villagers into zombies; a group of unprotected villagers can quickly be turned into zombies or killed. On the Hard difficulty level, the chance of turning into a zombie is 100%, 50% on the Normal difficulty level, and 0% on the Easy and Peaceful levels.

We have already talked about. If this did not save you and the attack occurred, then the surviving residents can be cured.

To treat a zombie villager, you will need to weaken him with , and then feed him a golden apple. It is recommended to place zombie villagers in a prison cell with iron bars and a bed inside to increase the healing rate. At normal conditions A zombie villager is cured in about 3 minutes.

To create a potion of weakness you need:

1. Mushroom;
2. Sugar;
3. Spider Eye;
4. A bottle of water;
5. Powder.

Combine Mushroom, Sugar and Spider Eye at the crafting table to create a cooked spider eye.

Craft spider eyes

Place the eye in a brewing stand over a vial of water to prepare a potion of weakness.

To make an Exploding Potion of Weakness from it, combine it with gunpowder at the brewing stand.

Exploding Potion of Weakness.

After weakening the zombie villager, feed it a golden apple. To create a golden apple, surround the apple with eight gold nuggets on a crafting table.

When the healing has taken effect, the zombies will try to damage the villager again.

Moving residents to another village

If you want to lure residents from an NPC village to your own, you can build a railway system and transport them in minecarts. This process takes a long time and consumes a lot of materials, especially if the NPC village is far away. Since a house in Minecraft can be as little as a wooden door with a block on one side, luring villagers from their villages to yours becomes easy and cheap:

1. Gather residents in one house, destroying the doors in all the others;
2. Place the wooden door with the block close behind it;
3. Destroy the wooden door of the house with the inhabitants inside;
4. Wait for the villagers to start gathering at the door of the newly created “house”;
5. Place another wooden door and block a few squares away from it;
6. Destroy the first door and block and wait for the villagers to start moving;
7. Repeat the process until you reach your own Minecraft village.

This method is much more economical than creating a railway system. Transporting residents at night can be dangerous, especially if there are many residents. However, this process must be carried out precisely at night, because all the residents hide in the “houses” only at night. Transportation can allow you to increase the population of your village.

There is no right or wrong way to create your village as long as the houses have wooden doors and an opaque roof within five squares of the house's interior. You can use any materials to create houses, decorate them and create as many structures as you like. You can create apartments and apartment buildings. Building a village in creative mode can speed up the process and give you access to more materials.

Help the village!

Zombies can attack villages and turn their inhabitants into zombies. In mode Hardcore(Hardcore) or difficulty level Difficult(Hard) zombies can break even wooden doors. You cannot trade items with a zombie villager, and you may die if he attacks you. Villagers do not reproduce quickly and can accidentally die by stepping on lava or falling into a well. So the population is easily reduced.

To cure a zombie, isolate it, throw a Weakness potion at it, and feed it a golden apple. Villager will shake for several minutes before recovering

How to help save a village

Go to bed as soon as it gets dark. In this case, the game time will change and a new day will begin. The night will be "skipped" along with the darkness in which mobs can appear. This allows you to minimize the number of zombies that appear. Kill them in the morning.

Protect the village with a fence. Lock residents in their homes until work is completed to keep them safe.

Remove ladders in front of doors, replace broken doors, and make sure doors are installed correctly on the outside. (Do not add a door to the forge. The nature of this structure confuses the inhabitants, and they begin to gather outside.)

Light up the area around the village to prevent mobs from appearing.

Get rid of cacti, lava pools and caves where mobs appear.

If possible, heal the zombie by throwing a Weakness potion at it and feeding it a golden apple. It will take a few minutes for a resident to recover, so isolate them to prevent them from harming themselves and other residents.

You can protect villagers with Iron Golems, build new houses to expand the village and increase its inhabitants' chances of survival.

Iron golems

Iron golems appear on their own if there are ten inhabitants and twenty-one houses in the village. If the village doesn't have an Iron Golem, create one. You will need a pumpkin or Jack-O-Lantern and four blocks of iron placed on the ground (not in the crafting grid) in a "T" shape. Iron golems only protect villagers and can leave if they find themselves outside the village. Iron Golems can be kept in a fenced pen or placed on a leash.

When creating an Iron Golem, place the pumpkin or lantern last

Exchange

A villager offers you certain items depending on his occupation. Typically, you buy and sell with emeralds. The first time you exchange with a villager, he only makes one offer. He will make new ones when you exchange the last item on his list and close the inventory window. If the villagers are ready to offer you something new, you will see green and purple particles above their heads.

If the villagers have a new offer for you, you will see green and purple particles above their heads

There are hundreds of offers and exchange opportunities. From the farmer (in brown clothes) you can buy flint, steel, scissors and arrows. The butcher (in a white apron) has leather armor and saddles, and the blacksmith (in a black apron) has iron and diamond objects, as well as chain mail. From the priest (in purple clothes) you can buy the Eye of the End, a glowing stone, an enchanting bottle and a red stone, and from the librarian (in white clothes) you can buy books with spells, bookshelves, clocks and compasses. The priest can enchant an item, such as iron or diamond armor. Grow wheat, which can be exchanged for emeralds from the farmer. Use these emeralds to purchase other items from the villagers.

Five types of villagers: priest, blacksmith, librarian, butcher and farmer

Increase your population

Add new houses. So that the game “understands” what you created new house, she must first “see” the new door. A door is considered part of the house if there is a roof on one side of the door. As long as this rule is followed, you can create houses as you please. You can build a door with only one roof block. After creating a door, the program checks the five blocks in front of and behind the door for roof blocks. A roof block is any block that blocks sunlight from the ground. There may be more roof blocks on one side of the door than on the other. (If you're low on resources, you can create a house from a door and one block of dirt.) Finally, to be considered a house, the door must be adjacent to a villager. For every three and a half doors, a new villager is created, so to create two villagers you will have to make seven doors. There must be at least two residents in order for them to have children.

To build a simple village house you only need a door and one roof block behind it

Be polite!

In each village you earn popularity points. The countdown starts at 0, can go up to 10 and down to –30. Buying the last item from a villager's inventory adds 1 point. An attack on a villager will take away 1 point, killing - 2 points, killing a villager's child - 3 points, destroying an Iron Golem - 5 points. At -15 the village's Iron Golem attacks you.
