I have an idea What if different villages would fight eachother? For example, if two villages were close by the villagers might fight with one another for territorial control. Maybe the black smiths would produce weapons that the villagers could actually use. This would add a sense of atmosphere to Minecraft that it's lacking, namely, culture. In real life villages fight, and if there is trading why not different villages fighting?

Good idea, bad? Tweaks?

Personally, I think this is a horrible idea. If this would be implemented, that means that two villages would have to spawn next to each other, thus making them more common. The point of the villages is to be a rare find. In my opinion, I wouldn't enjoy finding two villages at once.

I like it, but it needs to be tweaked. Personally, villages are not very rare to me. I think it would add some enjoyable content to Minecraft.

In order to fight they would have to be constantly loaded along with what the above person said. This would just be a complicated feature all for a rare and that is also pointless since with how small they are they would have fought and killed each other long ago.

No, they would only fight when loaded, as with everything else in Minecraft.

But we only see either zombie invasions which the zombies despawn fight things that are not you. These on the other hand would be constantly spawning so are you saying the game would just memorize where they are and if someone is at the edge only they fight well their unloaded friends do not fight or everyone just teleported back to their village each time you get the chunk loaded?

A better idea would be to have villagers become aggressive if you attack them. Like a faction, zombie-pigman style.

Minecraft Squidward Neanderthals seem rather peaceful to me. I don't really see them going to war against each other. They should be more likely to trade and intermarry.

If there were other, more warlike tribes, I could see them fighting.

That's not exactly what I had in mind, if there were two villages near eachother the rareness wouldn't be much different.
