Minecraft Villager: Types, Jobs, and How to Breed Minecraft Villager

Tripboba.com - Minecraft game offers an abundance of activities that your characters can do for a living. There is also Minecraft villager, those passive mobs that inhabit villages.

Villagers are not simply mobs that live in tiny and unique villages. They have lives, families, jobs, trades, and a framework totally separated from you, the player.

But, you can connect with them and influence how they work in the game for your benefit. Minecraft villagers can be found in villages in most biomes. Each village will be designed with different materials depending on the biome.

Just as a matter of fact, villages in Minecraft have been drastically changed since 1.14 Village & Pillage. There was a complete transformation in their jobs, how each villager trades, and many other changes.

Thus, it's important to know the updated Minecraft villager so you can run your game comfortably!

Minecraft Villager Jobs

On the latest update, there are 15 villager jobs in Minecraft. Every villager can choose the possible job they want to take. If you have a certain job that you want a villager to do, you need to locate the job block that matches the aspired job next to an Unemployed Villager.

This way, it will determine what are the offered trades once a villager got the assigned job. If you have no Unemployed Villager, you can just destroy the job block that the villager is using.

But, if you don’t get the trades from a villager according to your wish, just keep going by breaking the job block and place it back down to get the trades reloaded.

So, here is a list of all the possible jobs a Minecraft villager can take.

1. Armorer – Blast Furnace
2. Butcher – Smoker
3. Cartographer – Cartography Table
4. Cleric – Brewing Stand
5. Farmer – Composter
6. Fisherman – Barrel
7. Fletcher – Fletching Table

Minecraft Villager Types

1. Minecraft Zombie Villagers 

The first type of Minecraft villager is Zombie villagers. They are a variant of zombies that players can cure into normal villagers using golden apples and the potion of weakness.

They have a similar appearance with normal villagers but with zombie-colored flesh. Also, they try to assault the player like other zombies.

Zombie villagers are unemployed spawn naturally with corresponding biome outfits. Zombie villagers can also be generated from the normal villagers who are killed by any type of zombie.

2. Wandering trader 

The next type of Minecraft villager is the wandering trader. Players can use emeralds to buy items from wandering traders. But, emeralds can't be traded with any kind of item.

Like villagers, wandering traders are attacked by most zombie variants, illagers, ravagers‌ (in Java Edition], and vexes. Wandering traders also drink a Potion of Invisibility at night.

In Java Edition, wandering traders drink a milk bucket in the morning in order to remove the Invisibility feature. They will despawn after a few in-game days.

3. Illagers

The third type of Minecraft villager is Illagers. Most people will confuse illagers and villagers, but they are two different characters in Minecraft.

Illagers are those hostile villager-like mobs that spawn in woodland mansions as well as pillager outposts, illager patrols, or raids. Illagers are divided into four kinds: vindicators, evokers, pillagers, illusioners ‌(in Java Edition), as well as two associated mobs: vexes and ravagers.

Illagers are often believed to be outcasts in the villages. Not only attacking players, but illagers also attack villagers, wandering traders, and even iron golems. In Bedrock Edition, illagers attack snow golems but do not attack baby villagers, although baby villagers still flee from them.

4. Witches 

The fourth type of Minecraft villager is Witches. They are hostile villager-like mobs designed with black hats that spawn in the overworld according to the usual mob spawning rules.

Witches can also spawn in swamp huts, when a villager gets struck by lightning, or may also spawn as a part of raids to heal the illagers using potions. Witches are passive toward villagers and wandering traders.

Minecraft Villager Breeding

The more villagers your village has, the more trades are opened up and significance how your village, farm, town, or even city grows. Thus, it's a good technique if you can breed Minecraft villager.

Do you want to know how to breed villagers in Minecraft? Follow these steps below!

Step 1: Find a village

To successfully breed villagers, let’s first find a village. Villages can be found in the plains, deserts, and savannah biomes.

The village needs to have at least 2 villagers. It may be easier said than done, so you have to be patient in locating one. Use your map to keep track of your location. 

If you still can’t find one and instead come across a zombie village, you can cure zombie villagers by first throwing a Splash Potion of Weakness and then feeding it a golden apple.

Make sure it doesn't come into sunlight until the zombie villager has completely transformed, otherwise it will burn up. They’ll become normal villagers once cured, and you can use the village.

Step 2: Build more houses with doors

Learning how to breed villagers maybe not that hard—you just need some patience. What you need to do is to ensure that the total population of villagers is less than 35% of the number of valid doors (rounded down) in a village since they’ll mate in this condition.

A valid door is any door where one side of the door leads to a room with a roof, while the other side leads to the outside. Build a single structure with multiple doors to increase their numbers.
