How to Get Villagers in Minecraft: A Quick Guide
Last updated
Ever wondered how to populate your empty Minecraft villages? Well, you’re in luck, because today we’re diving into how to get villagers in Minecraft!
So, you’ve built a fantastic village or stumbled upon an abandoned one in your Minecraft adventure, but it’s missing that vital component: villagers. How do you fill those empty streets with bustling life? Let’s find out!
Spawn Eggs or Curing Zombie Villagers
The quickest way to get villagers is through spawn eggs in Creative mode, but that’s not an option in Survival mode. In Survival, you can cure zombie villagers to turn them back into regular villagers.
Here’s how you can cure a zombie villager: First, you need to trap the zombie villager without killing it. Then, throw a Splash Potion of Weakness at it and feed it a golden apple. Voila! In a few minutes, you’ll have a brand-new villager.
Transporting Villagers From Other Villages
Another method is to transport villagers from other villages. You can do this by enticing them into a boat or minecart and then carting them off to your village. This requires some patience and a clear path, but it’s an effective way to populate your village.
Remember, villagers need beds and a job to stay in a village. Make sure your village has enough beds and job blocks (like anvils, lecterns, or composters) for each villager.
