so you mean that there's no npc's so the village is vacant.

Really? I thought they were added in 1.8... Thats stupid, whats the point of a village then

People too lazy to build their own houses?

And there's no spawn eggs in creative to create villagers. The villages will be empty for awhile.

Of course, I've already built an empty village about twice the size of those on my world. It makes for a neat place to hang out and theorize about urban development. It gives a focal point for people who join your world and it makes for a fun place to play creeper tag....

instant house? for lazy people.

Village Blacksmiths will have a chest in them that contain anything from weapons, tools, armor, diamonds, gold, iron, coal, torches, etc. Plus, it's a free village and free resources. Villages also have farms you can use to get food in case you have yet to find or farm any. They aren't completely useless without villagers.

Besides, villagers themselves are completely useless anyways. They were just made useful on the PC around half a year after they were added to the game lol

the best thing is aswell that if we are unable to switch from creative to survival on a map ..

we will have to restart a map just to get npc's ..

always nice having a town wiith no people.. like having a coffee.. with no coffee in it ..

We are able to switch back and forth from Creative to Survival. The NPCs themselves served zero purpose until the newest Minecraft update on the PC. So even if we got Villagers in 1.8, we would just be adding one pointless thing to another.

well while on the subject of what came out when, when did golems come in?

I don't know that I'd say they served zero purpose, MG. True, you couldn't trade with them until recently, but you could treat them as loyal followers and try to protect them, etc. Also, if you were of the chaotic bent, you could annoy them to draw the ire of the iron golems. Also, it might be fun to see how large you can grow village (villager husbandry?)

1.2

Except for snow golems, they came out in 1.9

The update isn't even out yet and people are complaining about stuff they could have left out but decided to leave in for us....
I don't even....what? LoL!
