I believe he use this technique
On the wiki it says that you need less than half the number of doors to villagers. NOT HOUSES.

Sounds an awful lot like eugenics to me

[RandomKitteh]

They repopulate according to houses, as in it can be a dirt house, but it has to have a roof and a wooden door. They also repopulate if one dies.

So far, nobody has helped us with info we don't already know. I am still glad you guys helped with info we do know.

That works? I thought villagers' "house detection" was based on doors and ceilings, not walls?

You got that backwards, they repopulate half as many villagers of the number of doors, assuming there is what passes as a roof for the doors.  I do NOT think what is shown in the image example would work, since it has no roof.

When I made 8 houses and started out with 2 villagers I ended up with 4 villagers.  After one died, another was born, still 4 total.  Next I will test adding a door to each house to see what I end up with for 8 homes with 16 doors total.  But then there would also be twice as many doors for zombies to pound on.

PS: With 8 doors added I got 4 more children.  Had to fight off zombies until I could get a head count.

I believe that the thing on the wiki does work, since you cannot spawn a baby villager.
Building a house is obviously better.

[KyoShinda]

A block any height above a door is a house. That's what I know so far.

Door can be at y=0 and the block above it at y=256 and that will still be a 'house'.

Hey Meeper. I meant it as questioning because of minecraft wiki it said doors. You dont have to be an Asshole -.-

[THE_GR8_MIKE]

You get them drunk and put on some Bob Hope and them turn the lights down and walk out  

[mythsnlore]

You only need doors to get them to repopulate. You don't even need walls. However in my experiments, they don't ever seem to quite reach half of the number of doors. With 12 doors, I get 4 villagers...
