i know in the next update we will be getting npc villages with villagers, but i was wondering if you were able to create your own village and have them live there? is this possible? i heard you can expand their villages, but can you actually create your own npc village?

where getting npc villages but dont think where getting npc villagers

Sounds about right.

Villagers are the update after the one with villages but i could be wrong check the wiki.

i made my own npc village http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1391943-project-npc/

"Villagers will mate depending on the number of valid doors. A valid door is any door (within the city 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 is hit by the sun during the day, i.e. it is transparent, and has nothing but transparent blocks above it all the way to the sky. Notice that a door is not a valid door without a roof on one side, or with equal amount of roof on both sides. Sometimes the villager AI (such as mating and housing) doesn't behave as expected until the game is restarted (as in save and quit, then reload the world).
Once housing has been established, villagers will then mate until the number of adult villagers equals 0.35 times the number of doors. Any remaining children will grow up as usual, resulting in a total number of adult villagers somewhere above one third of the number of nearby wooden doors. The type of villager that the child is doesn't depend on what type the parents are, e.g., two farmer villagers can have a child that is any of the occupations. Unlike other breed-able mobs, the parents and child have no personal interactions other than socializing." -Minecraft Wiki.

Actually if I read if right (which I think I did), creative gives the ability to have "spawn eggs" and one of them is for villagers. If these are included, which I don't see why they wouldn't be, it should allow you to spawn a handful and see if you can build up your village with them (would be an interesting challenge).

WIKI REFERENCE: http://www.minecraft...wiki/Spawn_Eggs

I'm pretty sure we don't get spawn eggs for a while.

That also says spawn eggs were added in the official release. Even if they do get pulled early, I don't expect villagers to get pulled early.

Yeah, seems dumb for them to add in the NPC villiages without NPCs when we won't get another update for months. Anything that would be useless in the game until the next update should have features pulled from later releases to at least make them worth adding. It's not like the PC with multiple updates per month. Whatever we get in the next update will be what we have for likely 2 months at least.

You can use creative mode to build a village and thhen you could just use the villager egg to spawn villagers

Since the tutorial world already has 2 npc villages, when the game updates for villagers will they spawn in them? hopefully?

All indications point to structures but no villagers. Check the 4J twitter feed for news on spawn eggs - I recall them saying no spawn eggs in this release.

I will be nice to have the structure even if we don't have the bodies simply because it's nice to have things in your world. You cannot interact with villagers until the emerald update anyway (besides killing them and getting the iron golems angry) so why are people worried about "useless" villages?

4J has taken long enough with this update. Call me impatient but that's my humble opinion. If they're gonna update to 1.8.1, include as much features as possible, not a few here and a few there and not things like "Oh here's the villager trading system for Xbox guys! Please wait until TBA to get emeralds to actually use it!"
