Find a village. Villages are usually located at random locations on the map. Please be patient. You need to search for a while to see a village. It is found in plains, deserts, coniferous forests and deserts. Each village needs to have at least 2 villagers.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/36/Breed-Villagers-in-Minecraft-Step-2-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Breed-Villagers- in-Minecraft-Step-2-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/36/Breed-Villagers-in-Minecraft-Step-2- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Breed-Villagers-in-Minecraft-Step-2-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Build structures to breed villagers (optional). This is not necessary when breeding villagers, but the construction will prevent them from roaming. Moreover, they are also protected from aggressive mobs and raiders. You can choose any material to build the building. The building should be large enough for the entire villager you want to breed, along with the number of beds for each villager and their children.

Make sure all windows are fitted with glass or iron bars. Children in the village can hide from the holes in the construction.
Do not build doors to the building. Villagers can open and close doors. To prevent them from escaping, you need to use a fence. ^{[1] X Research Source}
Now the occupation of the villagers is determined by the nearby construction site. New villagers will be automatically assigned to the appropriate construction site in the village. If you want to assign certain occupations to new villagers, build the building at least 48 blocks away from the nearest construction site to prevent automatic assignment. ^{[2] X Research Sources}^{[3] X Research Sources}

Create at least 3 beds and place them in the village or building. To breed villagers, you need beds for each person to be bred and their offspring. You need to create a new bed for each spawned villager. You can create a bed using a crafting table with 3 blocks of wool and 3 blocks of wood planks.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/c/ca/Breed-Villagers-in-Minecraft-Step-4-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Breed-Villagers- in-Minecraft-Step-4-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/c/ca/Breed-Villagers-in-Minecraft-Step-4- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Breed-Villagers-in-Minecraft-Step-4-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Place at least two villagers near each other. If you’ve built a structure, try to confine them to the building and block the door so they can’t wander. You can move villagers by executing the command on foot. This pushes them in the direction you want them to go. You can also use boats to move villagers, even if they are on land.

You can build ships using a crafting table with 1 shovel and 5 wooden plank blocks. Place the train on the ground and have the villagers walk on board. After boarding, they will stay there until you destroy the ship. Here’s how to prevent them from roaming outside. You can board with the villagers and row the boat to move the villagers. On land, boats move more slowly. You also need a level path leading to your destination. After you and the villagers arrive, use the ax or hand to destroy the ship so the villagers can move around freely.

Prepare food for the villagers. Each resident has their own luggage to store items, such as food. To breed villagers, they need 3 loaves of bread, 12 carrots, 12 beets or 12 potatoes in their inventory. I’m glad you don’t have to go far to find these as they can all be found in the village.

Carrots: Carrots are grown by farmers in the village. You can harvest carrots in the garden after they are large enough. Carrots are large enough when the green leaves at the top are fully grown and the orange tips are sticking out of the ground.
Potatoes: Potatoes are also grown by farmers in the village. You can harvest potatoes at the garden. Potatoes are large enough when the leaves grow high where you left them empty. However, sometimes you will encounter poisonous potatoes – often unusable.
Beetroot: Beetroot is also grown by farmers in the village. However, unlike potatoes and carrots, you cannot grow beets yourself to get more beets. You need to plant beetroot seeds to grow beets, and this will take up more room in your inventory. You can harvest beets and beetroot seeds in the garden. Beets are large enough when you see the leaves and red parts of the beets sticking out of the ground.
Bread: You can buy bread from villagers or make your own using a crafting table with 3 bushels of wheat. Sometimes, you can also find bread in chests in the village. Wheat is grown in the garden by farmers in the village. You can harvest wheat when it has grown tall and has turned light brown. Cut wheat can already be harvested to have bushels of wheat.

Breeding villagers in version 1.14 and earlier

Find a village. Villages are usually located in many random locations in the game world. Each village needs to have at least 2 villagers. Please be patient. Finding villages is often not easy. You need to search for a while to see a village. Use the map you got at the start of the game to know your location.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/f/f6/Breed-Villagers-in-Minecraft-Step-9-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Breed-Villagers- in-Minecraft-Step-9-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/f/f6/Breed-Villagers-in-Minecraft-Step-9- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Breed-Villagers-in-Minecraft-Step-9-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Build more doors in the village. Villagers will breed when the total number of villagers is 35% lower than the number of doors in the village. A valid door is a door with one side leading to the room with the roof, and the other side leading to the outside.

To build a valid door, all you need is a door with one side with a block on top.
To increase the number of doors in the village, you can build a building with multiple doors.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/c/c4/Breed-Villagers-in-Minecraft-Step-10-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Breed-Villagers- in-Minecraft-Step-10-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/c/c4/Breed-Villagers-in-Minecraft-Step-10- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Breed-Villagers-in-Minecraft-Step-10-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Build a garden for the villagers. Villagers love farming. Most villages already have some garden plots in place. You can build more gardens so that people are willing to propagate. ^{[4] X Research Source} To build a garden, you need to find a well-lit area and dig a trench next to the soil mass and fill it with water. The next thing is to use a hoe to dig the soil. You can plant seeds or grow vegetables in blocks of soil, or let the villagers do this themselves. ^{[5] X Research Sources}

You can also throw food to the villagers. Villagers will gladly breed when they have 3 breads, 12 carrots or 12 potatoes in their inventory.
- To make bread, select the crafting table and place three wheat stalks in any row in the 3×3 square. The rest is to drag the bread into the luggage.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/90/Breed-Villagers-in-Minecraft-Step-11-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Breed-Villagers- in-Minecraft-Step-11-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/90/Breed-Villagers-in-Minecraft-Step-11- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Breed-Villagers-in-Minecraft-Step-11-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Trade with villagers. This is a simple way to make villagers want to breed. Each villager has many items that they want to buy and sell in exchange for other items. Trade with a certain villager multiple times to unlock new items that villagers can trade in. You will trade with that villager until a new trade shows up. Continuous trading has a 1/5 chance of making the villagers willing to breed again. Small green dots appear when people are willing to breed.

Willingness to breed will not automatically cause the villagers to find a mate. Two villagers willing to breed must be close to each other. Trading with villagers will make them willing to breed.

Wait for the villagers to breed. When two or more nearby villagers are willing to breed, they will do so automatically. Breeding takes place when two villagers face each other and hearts appear around them. A small villager will appear. It takes about 20 minutes for a small villager to become an adult.

Once propagated, the villagers will no longer be willing to do this and must be manipulated to breed again. ^{[6] X Research Sources}

Make a bed for the villagers

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/c/c8/Breed-Villagers-in-Minecraft-Step-12-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Breed-Villagers- in-Minecraft-Step-12-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/c/c8/Breed-Villagers-in-Minecraft-Step-12- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Breed-Villagers-in-Minecraft-Step-12-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Prepare material. To create a bed, you need 3 blocks of wood planks and 3 blocks of wool. You also need a crafting table. Follow these steps to get the materials you need:

Wooden planks: To get wood, you need to climb up the tree and use your hand (or ax) to cut the trunk until the trunk blocks fall off and become small logs. The next thing is to go over the wooden block to pick it up. Open the crafting menu and create plank blocks from wood.
Wool: You can get wool by killing sheep or using shears – scissors are usually made from two iron bars in the crafting table.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/6/65/Breed-Villagers-in-Minecraft-Step-13-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Breed-Villagers- in-Minecraft-Step-13-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/6/65/Breed-Villagers-in-Minecraft-Step-13- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Breed-Villagers-in-Minecraft-Step-13-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Create crafting table. To create a crafting table, you will open the crafting menu and place 4 wooden plank blocks in the crafting frame to the right of the character. The next thing is to drag the crafting table into the inventory.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/a/ae/Breed-Villagers-in-Minecraft-Step-14-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Breed-Villagers- in-Minecraft-Step-14-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/a/ae/Breed-Villagers-in-Minecraft-Step-14- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Breed-Villagers-in-Minecraft-Step-14-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Place the crafting table and open it. To set the crafting table, place it in the bar at the bottom of the menu and start equipping. Place the crafting table by pointing to the area you want, then right-click or press the left switch to put it down.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/2/2d/Breed-Villagers-in-Minecraft-Step-15-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Breed-Villagers- in-Minecraft-Step-15-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/2/2d/Breed-Villagers-in-Minecraft-Step-15- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Breed-Villagers-in-Minecraft-Step-15-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Bed fabrication. To craft the bed, you will open the crafting table, and place three wool blocks in the top row of the 3×3 crafting frame. Next, place 3 wooden blocks in the middle row below the wool blocks. The last thing is to pull the bed into the luggage.

You can also craft colored beds with dyes.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/91/Breed-Villagers-in-Minecraft-Step-16-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Breed-Villagers- in-Minecraft-Step-16-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/91/Breed-Villagers-in-Minecraft-Step-16- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Breed-Villagers-in-Minecraft-Step-16-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Set the bed. To place the bed, you will place it in the equipment bar. Navigate to where you want the bed, and right-click or press the left switch to place the bed where you want it.

Build a house in the village

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/2/28/Breed-Villagers-in-Minecraft-Step-17-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Breed-Villagers- in-Minecraft-Step-17-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/2/28/Breed-Villagers-in-Minecraft-Step-17- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Breed-Villagers-in-Minecraft-Step-17-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Prepare building materials. You can build a house in the village with any material you want. Not all materials require the use of tools for harvesting or mining, but these tools help shorten the time. Learn how to make tools in Minecraft to understand how to make them. Here are the common materials and how to get them:

Soil: Soil is found everywhere. To get the soil, you just need to use your hands (or shovel) to dig until the soil mass breaks up and forms a small dirt block. Go over the small dirt block to pick it up.
Wooden plank: To get wood, you will climb up the tree and use your hand (or ax) to cut down the trunk until the trunk block falls off and forms a small wooden block. The next thing is to go over the wooden block to pick it up. Open the crafting menu and create a plank block from the wood blocks.
Cobblestone: Cobblestone is harder (and more resistant to explosions). To dig cobblestone, you first need to craft a pickaxe. Equip the pickaxe from the menu. Use the pickaxe to dig up the rocks in the cave or around the mountainside.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/2/2b/Breed-Villagers-in-Minecraft-Step-18-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Breed-Villagers- in-Minecraft-Step-18-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/2/2b/Breed-Villagers-in-Minecraft-Step-18- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Breed-Villagers-in-Minecraft-Step-18-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Choose place. Make sure the location you choose is in the village. The game sets the center of the village as the average coordinates of all the doors in the village. The outer range of the villages is 32 blocks from the center or the furthest door from the center, whichever is farther. ^{[7] X Research Sources}

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/4/40/Breed-Villagers-in-Minecraft-Step-19-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Breed-Villagers- in-Minecraft-Step-19-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/4/40/Breed-Villagers-in-Minecraft-Step-19- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Breed-Villagers-in-Minecraft-Step-19-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:316,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :500,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Construction works. Use the building materials you prepared to build the exterior of the house or building. It can be any shape you want as long as it has a translucent block at the top that serves as a roof. The gap must be at least 3 blocks high so the villagers (and players) have space to move inside. Create a gap 2 blocks high in the wall to make a door.

To build buildings, you need to place building materials in the equipment bar below the inventory. Highlight the material in that bar to proceed to equip. Aim at the location where you want to place the building materials, then right-click (or press the left switch) to place each block. Learn how to build in Minecraft to see how.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/31/Breed-Villagers-in-Minecraft-Step-20-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Breed-Villagers- in-Minecraft-Step-20-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/31/Breed-Villagers-in-Minecraft-Step-20- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Breed-Villagers-in-Minecraft-Step-20-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Build and place crafting tables. The crafting table is created using 4 wooden plank blocks in the crafting menu. After setting up the crafting table, you will place it anywhere in the game world.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/7/7f/Breed-Villagers-in-Minecraft-Step-21-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Breed-Villagers- in-Minecraft-Step-21-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/7/7f/Breed-Villagers-in-Minecraft-Step-21- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Breed-Villagers-in-Minecraft-Step-21-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Use the crafting table to create doors. To create the door, select the crafting table and place 6 wooden plank blocks in the 3×3 frame in the crafting table. The next thing is to pull the door to the crafting table.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/6/6d/Breed-Villagers-in-Minecraft-Step-22-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Breed-Villagers- in-Minecraft-Step-22-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/6/6d/Breed-Villagers-in-Minecraft-Step-22- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Breed-Villagers-in-Minecraft-Step-22-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Install the door to the building. To install a door on a building, you will place it in the equipment bar and select the place where you want to install the door. Next, navigate to the area where you want to install the door, and right-click (or press the left switch on the controller) to install the door. The more doors the village has, the more villagers will want to breed.

Villagers can find doors 16 blocks horizontally from them, and 3 blocks above, or 5 blocks below the ground of the village. A valid door must have a higher number of opaque blocks on the top within 5 blocks on one side of the door (inside) than on the other side (outside).

Trade with the villagers

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/6/60/Breed-Villagers-in-Minecraft-Step-23-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Breed-Villagers- in-Minecraft-Step-23-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/6/60/Breed-Villagers-in-Minecraft-Step-23- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Breed-Villagers-in-Minecraft-Step-23-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Select villagers. To select villagers, you need to stand in front of them and aim at them. Right click or press the left switch on the controller. This opens the inventory window.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/e4/Breed-Villagers-in-Minecraft-Step-24-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Breed-Villagers- in-Minecraft-Step-24-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/e4/Breed-Villagers-in-Minecraft-Step-24- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Breed-Villagers-in-Minecraft-Step-24-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:346,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :547,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Check the villager’s luggage. The space at the top of the window shows what the villagers want to sell. The box in the lower left corner of the window shows what the villagers want to buy. You must have the item they want in your inventory to start trading.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/9c/Breed-Villagers-in-Minecraft-Step-25-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Breed-Villagers- in-Minecraft-Step-25-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/9c/Breed-Villagers-in-Minecraft-Step-25- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Breed-Villagers-in-Minecraft-Step-25-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Select the item you want to buy. To select the item, you will click or press the confirmation button on the controller. The item you want to buy and sell will be automatically removed from the inventory, and the item you want to buy will be placed in the inventory.

Villagers only have one or two items the first time you trade with them. The more times they buy and sell, the more items they will have to sell.

Build a garden for the villagers

Dig cobblestone, coal and iron ore. All of these materials are found in caves. You need a pickaxe to dig them. Learn how to make tools in Minecraft to learn how to make pickaxes and other tools.

The gray block looks like real stone. You will use the pickaxe to dig cobblestone from the rock blocks.
The cinder block looks like a rock block with black dots. Use the pickaxe to dig coal from the coal blocks.
The iron ore block looks like a rock block with gold dots on it. You can use a stone pickaxe or a sturdier tool to dig for iron ore.

Create and place the furnace. To create a furnace, you need to select a crafting table and place 8 cobblestone blocks on all sides of the 3×3 frame. Drag the furnace to the equipment bar below the inventory. Place the furnace on that stick and proceed to equip. Aim at the area where you want to place the kiln and right click (or press the left switch) to place it.

Use a furnace to melt iron. To melt iron ore, you will select a furnace and place coal in the fuel (the part below the flame icon). Next, place the iron ore block in the upper part of the flame. Wait a few minutes for the iron to complete. When the iron ore is melted, select the furnace and drag the iron bars from the right slot and place it in the inventory.

Advice

When breeding two villagers, you must place them in an enclosed space so they don’t leave each other.
When the villagers are happy and have all they need, they will gladly breed.
Try to breed villagers as often as possible, as more villagers means more trades, and increases your chances of getting good deals.

Warning

Try to keep the zombies in the dark when healing them, as they will burn and die in the light, wasting your antidote and golden apples.
