Movement patterns

Upon spawning, villagers will leave their homes and begin to explore the village. Generally, they wander aimlessly inside the village during the day. They may go indoors or outdoors. Occasionally, two villagers may stop and turn to look at each other, in a behavior called socializing, in which they will stare at another villager for a few seconds at a time. In the case of players, they will continuously stare at them as long as the player is close enough, unless the villager tries to get into a house at night, farm food, or run away from a zombie. When a player attacks a villager, the villager will not run away, but anger particles will fly out from the villager if it is in a village.

They will also run away if the player attacks them.

Villagers, like other mobs, will find paths around obstructions and will avoid some harmful blocks and walking off cliffs. Be that as it may, in crowded situations it`s possible for one villager to push another off a cliff or into harm.

At night or during rain, villagers will run inside, closing doors behind them, and staying indoors until morning. In the morning they will head outside and resume normal behavior.

If a villager finds itself outside the village boundary, or a villager without a village detects a village boundary within 32 blocks, it will move quickly back within the boundary. A villager taken more than 32 blocks away from its village boundary will forget the village within about 6 seconds. Whether in a village or not, a villager is never prone to despawning See the natural spawning of players and mobs. For mob spawners, see Monster Spawner. For the player, see The Player. This article needs updating. Description: Rabbits now spawn in deserts with new minecraft .

Villagers cannot open trapdoors, fence gates, or iron doors.

There is evidence that villagers are prone to overcrowding certain areas of a village while leaving other areas completely empty. When moving inside, the AI prefers doors within 16 blocks (Euclidean distance). It also tends to prefer doors with fewer villagers nearby, however "nearby" in this case is only 1.5 blocks and, when moving inside, villagers prefer to move 2.5 blocks inside when the inside is to the south or east and therefore will be out of range of this check. During the day, it has been observed that villagers will tend to cluster near a trapped villager or any existing large cluster of villagers, likely due to the "socialize" AI routine overriding their inclination to wander.

Picking up items

Villagers have eight hidden inventory slots. Villagers will not intentionally seek out items to pick up, but they will collect any bread Bread Type Food Restores 5 () Cookable No Renewable Yes Stackable Yes (64) First appearances See History Data value dec: 297 hex: 129 bin: 100101001 Name bread Bread is a food item that can be eaten by the minecraft , carrots Carrot Type Food Restores 3 () Cookable No Renewable Yes Stackable Yes (64) First appearances See History Data values Block dec: 141 hex: 8D bin: 10001101 Item dec: 391 hex: 187 bin: 110000111 Name Block carrots Item carrot This article is minecraft , potatoes Potato Type Food Restores 1 () Cookable Yes Renewable Yes Stackable Yes (64) Experience Cooked: 0.35 First appearances See History Data values Block dec: 142 hex: 8E bin: 10001110 Item dec: 392 hex: 188 bin: 110001000 Name Block potatoes Item potato minecraft , wheat Wheat Type Food Durability N/A Renewable Yes Stackable Yes (64) First appearances See History Data value dec: 296 hex: 128 bin: 100101000 Name wheat See the food item.

These are the only items they are able to pick up. If a player and a villager are in the pickup range of an item at the same time, the player will always pick it up first.

These hidden inventory slots will be reset if a villager becomes a zombie after being killed by a zombie and then cured back into a villager. This can be used to get a villager with an empty inventory.

Note: If the gamerule mobGriefing is false, villagers will not pick up items.

Sharing food

If a villager has enough food in one inventory stack (6 bread or 24 carrots, potatoes, beetroots, or 18 wheat for Farmers only) and sees a villager without enough food in one inventory stack (3 bread or 12 carrots, potatoes or beetroot for non-Farmers; 15 bread, 60 carrots, potatoes, or beetroot, or 45 wheat for Farmers), the villager may decide to share food with that villager.

To share, a villager finds his first inventory stack with at least 4 bread, carrots, potatoes, or beetroot or with at least 6 wheat, and then throws half the stack (rounded down) in the direction of the target villager. When wheat is shared, it is first crafted to bread which may result in 1 or 2 less than half the stack being shared.

Farming

Adult and baby brown-robed villagers, both farmers and other careers, will tend crops within the village boundary. Villagers far enough outside the boundary of any village will also tend nearby crops.

Farmland to be tended is found by seeking for certain blocks up to 15 blocks away from the villager in X and Z and up to 1 away in Y (a 31ℂₗ31ℂₗ3 area total).

  • If a brown-robed villager does not have enough food in one stack in his inventory (15 bread, 60 carrots, potatoes, or beetroot, or 45 wheat) and finds fully-grown wheat, carrots, potatoes or beetroot, he will move to the crop block and break it.
  • If a brown-robed villager has any seeds, carrots, potatoes, or beetroot seeds in his inventory and finds an air block above farmland, he will move to it and plant a crop. They will always plant from the first eligible slot in their inventory.

Note that if the gamerule mobGriefing is false, villagers will not be able to farm.

Zombies

Zombies will only successfully break doors if the difficulty is set to hard, though only a fraction of zombies spawned in hard mode have the capacity to break doors. This also applies to zombie pigmen if they path find through a door. Villagers will run away from zombies, sometimes hiding in houses. The villager`s only "natural" defense are the iron golems, which attack nearby hostile mobs.

Zombies will try to kill villagers, or convert them to zombie villagers. The chance that the villager will become a zombie villager on death is 0% on Easy, 50% on Normal, and 100% on Hard. Baby villagers can be infected by zombies as well.

Villagers will also run from zombie pigmen.

Lightning

Breeding

See also: Tutorials/Village mechanics
Two villagers mating.

Villagers will mate depending on the number of valid doors. If "willing" (see below), villagers will mate as long as the population is less than 35% of valid doors, rounded down. The type of villager that spawns is not dependent on the villager`s parents.

A valid door is any door within the village radius where the number of "outside" spaces within 5 blocks in a straight line on one side of the door is not the same as the number of "outside" spaces within 5 blocks on the other side of the door. A space is considered to be "outside" if it has nothing but transparent blocks above it all the way to the sky.

The game engine periodically takes a census to determine the current population of the village. All villagers within the horizontal boundary of the village and within 5 vertical blocks of the center will be counted as part of the population to determine if continued villager mating is allowed. Be that as it may, any villager within the horizontal boundary of the village and within the spherical boundary of the village will attempt to enter mating mode as long as there is at least one villager within the boundary. If two villagers simultaneously enter mating mode while they are close to one another, they will mate with each other and produce a child.

Willingness

Additionally, villagers must be "willing" in order to breed. After mating, they will no longer be willing, and must be made willing again.

Villagers may become willing when the player trades with them. Willingness is granted the first time a new offer is traded, or at a one-in-five chance on subsequent trades. Green particles will appear if the villager becomes willing by trading. This will not cause them to immediately seek out a mate, however.

Villagers can also become willing by having either 3 bread Bread Type Food Restores 5 () Cookable No Renewable Yes Stackable Yes (64) First appearances See History Data value dec: 297 hex: 129 bin: 100101001 Name bread Bread is a food item that can be eaten by the minecraft , 12 carrots Carrot Type Food Restores 3 () Cookable No Renewable Yes Stackable Yes (64) First appearances See History Data values Block dec: 141 hex: 8D bin: 10001101 Item dec: 391 hex: 187 bin: 110000111 Name Block carrots Item carrot This article is minecraft or 12 potatoes Potato Type Food Restores 1 () Cookable Yes Renewable Yes Stackable Yes (64) Experience Cooked: 0.35 First appearances See History Data values Block dec: 142 hex: 8E bin: 10001110 Item dec: 392 hex: 188 bin: 110001000 Name Block potatoes Item potato minecraft in one stack in their inventory. Any villager with an excess of food (usually farmers) will throw food to other villagers, allowing them to pick it up and obtain enough food to become willing. You can also throw bread, carrots, beetroots, or potatoes at the villagers yourself to encourage breeding. Villagers will consume the required food upon becoming willing.

Professions and careers

Each villager has a profession, which can be identified by their clothing. Villagers also have careers specific to their profession. The player can identify a villager`s career by reading the title at the top of the trading interface. Below is a table listing the various villagers, with their careers in relation to their professions, as well as the IDs specifying these. While each profession has a 1 in 6 chance of occurring, the probabilities for individual careers to occur are more diversified. They are listed in the table as well.

Clothing Profession ID Career ID Probability
Farmer Villager.png Farmer 0 Farmer 1 124 (4.17%)
Fisherman 2 124 (4.17%)
Shepherd 3 124 (4.17%)
Fletcher 4 124 (4.17%)

Butcher villager.png Butcher 4 Butcher 1 112 (8.33%)
Leatherworker 2 112 (8.33%)
Nitwit villager.png Nitwit 5 Nitwit 1 16 (16.67%)

When transformed into a zombie villager, the profession of the zombified villager will remain unchanged however the career is reset and randomly picked again if turned back into a villager allowing for the player to get a villager with a new career with new trade offers. Old trade offers will disappear, even if the same career is chosen again.

Nitwit

Jens Bergensten Mojang avatar.png It started because players could summon villagers without a career by using commands: it was the only way to get villagers with green robes. Whenever we discover we have a bug which is used by the community we just see it as `undefined behaviour` - and ‘fix’ it by making it a feature. In this case we just needed a profession for the green-robed villager. I don’t remember what name we came up with first - I think it was ‘unemployed’ or something, but it doesn’t really fit in the world, because I don’t really think the other villagers are employed by anyone either. So I think the next suggestion was ‘village idiot’ but I thought ‘nitwit’ was a more fun name.

Marsh Davies

The trading system is a gameplay mechanic that allows players to trade emeralds for items and vice-versa with villagers.Their trades can be good or bad, depending on what the cost is and what items you might get. Trading is only available for adult villagers; the player cannot trade with baby villagers.

Right-clicking a villager will allow a player to trade with them, and display their career. Villagers will make offers based on their profession and career, and will only make trades based on whatever offers they are making. Different offers may be viewed by pressing the left and right buttons next to the currently displayed offer. Most offers involve emerald as a currency, and some item pertinent to the villager`s profession and career. Trading allows the acquisition of rare items that would otherwise be fairly difficult to obtain, such as chain armor. The trading mechanic allows players to get Bottle o` Enchanting in survival mode, as it is the only legitimate way. When villagers get a new trade, pink particles and green cross particles appear.

After trading a new offer once, the villager will allow a new tier of offers. After 2-12 times an offer is repeated, the villager will lock the trade offer. That is, the villager will no longer offer this trade. When this happens, the player will have to use another new trade offer in the villager`s window once (or several times if it is already used once), and then wait for a short time. If green particles appear, all trades unlock. That is, the villager will start offering all trades. There is a maximum number of tiers each villager can possess, varying by career. Once the villager has unlocked all tiers, it will not open any new ones. Be that as it may, players will still be able to renew all offers by trading.

When a villager gives off particles from a new trade, they get 10 seconds of regeneration I, which gives them 4 ().

Commands or external editors can help villagers get new trades.

The nitwit villager has no trades.

    Behavior

    Villagers are considered as one of the most intelligent of all peaceful mobs. However, there are some factors that they are unaware of or pay no attention to. Villagers realize the day-night cycle as well. Villagers are not fond of water, and unlike the other peaceful mobs, will immediately attempt to find an escape route. Villagers will attempt to avoid zombies. However, they do not attempt to escape any attackers except zombies. Unlike other mobs, villagers do not notice when they are set on fire, making any source of fire extremely dangerous to a village`s population. Villagers will not run when they are on fire as well, showing no attempt to put the fire out.

    Villagers only spawn in villages which can be located only in the flattest (or close to flat) biomes, such as desert biomes, savannas, and plains. When a villager notices a zombie, they immediately begin to run away from them. Villagers are fast enough to escape a zombie. However, this will not always protect them. When it becomes nighttime, all villagers move in-doors to safety. However, there is a flaw in this behavior. Whenever it is raining outside, villagers still realize it as day. Zombies, however, will not die because it is raining, and the sun is not out. This can cause some villagers to die.

    A common sight in a village would be villagers facing each other, assuming the human-like characteristic of "talking". When a player attacks a villager, they have steam coming from their heads, most-likely indicating anger or frustration. As of 1.6, villagers will produce noises (sounding similar to a "hmmm", a grunt, or a humming sound). They make noises on several occasions: when breeding is activated, when struck by a player, or when a player trades with one.

    Two villagers socializing.

    Trading

    Villagers are able to be traded with in the game for various items depending on their "profession" or type of villager. The currency that they handle are emeralds. Some villagers will trade for emeralds, while others will take emeralds and give items. Farmer type villagers, known for their brown clothing, are known to trade items related to farming, such as Wheat, Carrots, Potatoes, and seeds of Melons for emeralds, or vice versa. The butcher type, known for the brown clothing and white apron, will trade for meat such as Pork, Beef, and Chicken. It is far more common for the trade to require the raw version of the meat. Priests, which can be recognized by their full purple clothing, trade for Ender Pearls and Eyes of Ender. They also allow the player to buy enchanted items by trading an unenchanted version of the item, in addition to a few emeralds as the cost of enchanting the item. The smith type of villager trades for armor and tools and weapons. Lastly, the Librarian villager is known for his all white clothing and "smart" look, buys paper and sells book and navigational related items, such as Bookshelves and Compasses.

    Villagers all start with one trade agreement. Once the player does this trade and then closes the trading interface, the villager will have a "thinking" type animation and come up with another trade. This does two things. First, it allows more trading options, up to a maximum of 5 per villager, and second, it resets the trade. Each trade will be able to be used 3-5 times until it must be reset again. The villager will only reset if the final or "newest" trade is completed at least one time. Once all five are unlocked, continuing the last trade will continue to reset the trades, and also has a small chance of replacing an existing trade with a new one.

    Trading is one of the fastest ways to get Emeralds legitimately in survival mode without the use of cheats, as farming animals and crops are far faster than digging for Emeralds. This allows players to constantly trade and renew trades that yield emeralds to the player. This is also known sometimes as "farming emeralds", or "emerald bartering."

    As of Minecraft 1.8, the villagers` trading got a complete overhaul. Villagers could now have several trades when they are spawned giving the player more flexibility when trading. Another factor that helps is that when trading, new trade possibilities can occur depending on how many new trades players have made already.

    The Exploration Update added new "cartographer" villagers, who will trade their Exploration Map for a Compass and varied amounts of Emeralds gathered by the player.

    Popularity

    A player`s popularity can be gained or decreased in many methods, with one notable consequence: if the player has a popularity below -15, naturally spawned Iron Golems will become permanently hostile towards the player. Popularity can be gained by trading, breeding, etc., but can be decreased by attacking₠Villagers₠and/or₠Iron Golems. A player`s popularity can be high in one village, yet low in another.

    Zombie Villagers are aggressive mobs that appeared in Minecraft`s Pretty Scary Update (Version 1.4). They make up 5% of zombies that spawn in the Overworld. They will also appear after a Villager is killed by a Zombie during a village siege, 50% on Normal and 100% on Hard. If a Baby Villager is killed during a siege, it will also become a Baby Zombie villager. Baby Zombie Villagers are faster than their grown-up counterparts and will not age. Zombie Villagers can be returned to normal Villagers if weakened using a Splash Potion of Weakness, and then fed a Golden Apple. They will appear to shudder while being cured. It is best to place Zombie Villagers in a sort of "prison cell" structure with a bed and iron bars while curing it. This is because the iron bars and bed make the villager cure about 4% faster. Zombie Villagers take 2-5 minutes to cure under normal circumstances. A zombie villager has all the behaviors and characteristics of regular zombies, such as being able to wear armor. Iron Golems will still attack them, unless they are cured. In Pocket Edition and 1.9, they retain their clothes and appearance prior to being infected.
