In Minecraft Bedrock, how do you breed villagers?
Breeding villagers in Minecraft Bedrock is similar to doing so in Minecraft 1.16. To do so, follow these steps:
- Locate or construct a village. A village can already be defined as a couple of buildings close to each other.
- Your village should have three times as many doors as adult villagers.
- Ensure that the structure in which your villagers will breed has at least three beds and two or more empty blocks above them.
- Conduct at least one trade with your villagers.
- To get the villagers to breed, make sure there are 3 loaves of bread, 12 carrots, 12 potatoes, or 12 beetroots in the inventory for each villager. Give them to your villagers to eat.
- Leave two villagers alone in a structure. There are male and female villagers in Minecraft Bedrock, but it makes no difference for breeding.
- After about 20 minutes, check the building for the appearance of a baby villager.
If your village is overcrowded, you must either build more houses or send newborn villagers to another village to breed. Don’t worry; newborn villagers mature in about 20 minutes and quickly forget where they came from.
In Survival Mode, how do you breed villagers?
In Minecraft survival mode, breeding villagers is the same as breeding them in creative mode.
How to Make a Zombie-Proof Village in Minecraft
If you play in survival mode, zombies can kill your villagers, forcing you to breed more to replace them. If you don’t want to waste time breeding, make sure your village is secure. Take the following steps:
- Make certain that there is always enough light in the village. Make torches out of sticks and coal and place them around and inside your structures.
- Build a wooden fence or a cobblestone wall to encircle your village. It should ideally cover the entire perimeter and have a gate that you can close at night. – If your village has fewer than 16 inhabitants, build iron golems to protect it. They spawn automatically in large villages.
- Instead of iron golems, you could tame wolves to protect the village. To tame a wolf, feed it 12 bones.
- Steel doors are stronger than wooden doors and cannot be broken by zombies.
- Use wooden doors, but raise them one block off the ground.
Questions and Answers
Read on to learn more about village inhabitants and breeding in Minecraft.
Villagers aren’t the only species in Minecraft that can be bred. Pets and tamed animals such as horses, donkeys, cows, and even bees can be bred! Each animal species has unique breeding requirements. So, if you want to breed horses, you should feed them a golden apple or a golden carrot. After eating wheat, cows, goats, and sheep are eager to reproduce. Pigs, like villagers, will eat carrots, potatoes, and beetroot, though you only need one instead of 12.
Wolves will reproduce after consuming most types of meat. Chickens prefer seeds, while cats prefer raw fish. You can also speed up the growth of baby animals by feeding them specific foods. Sheep, for example, grow faster when fed grass, while horses grow faster when fed sugar.
There are a few reasons why you should breed villagers in Minecraft. To begin, you can trade with them. You’d want enough villagers to ensure a supply of all necessary goods, because each villager has a different profession.
Second, your villagers may perish for a variety of reasons, and you must replace them. Third, expanding your village is simply enjoyable, and once it has grown large enough, iron golems spawn automatically to protect the inhabitants.
The majority of the villagers have professions and sell specific goods. They have a distinct appearance that aids in their identification. Armorers will exchange emeralds for various iron, chainmail, and diamond armor. Butchers can provide you with emeralds and meat. Cartographers barter maps and banners in exchange for emeralds and compasses.
Visit a cleric villager to obtain gemstones. Fletchers will assist you in obtaining crafting and hunting tools. Farmers, fishermen, leatherworkers, librarians, shepherds, and other villagers work in a variety of occupations. Some villagers are unemployed; they resemble a generic villager model with no additional details.
You can help them find work by creating a new job site. Nitwit is another non-trading villager type. If you try to trade with them, they will shake their heads.
In Minecraft, you have a different reputation in each village. It starts at 0 and goes up to +30. Trading with villagers and upgrading their professional skills can help you improve your reputation. Your reputation will suffer if you attack or kill a villager or their child.
As a result, if your village is overcrowded, don’t kill anyone; instead, send them away. When the temperature falls below -15, villagers become hostile and iron golems attack you, making trading nearly impossible. Furthermore, killing an iron golem reduces your reputation by 10 points, so eliminating them will not solve the problem. Villagers will also gossip about you, harming your reputation. Breeding villagers does not improve your reputation, but when a baby villager grows up, you can appoint them as an apprentice to gain more reputation points.
Conclusion
Grow Your Village. With our help, you should be able to easily increase the population of your village in Minecraft, regardless of the game version. Make sure to protect your village’s residents and provide enough working sites for them to trade. And don’t forget about your village reputation – if it’s too low, you’ll be banished by the iron golems and lose your ability to interact with villagers.
