This was all generated by the world and I DID NOT create this.

Anyways, while I was playing survival in the middle of a snowless taiga, I saw a sliver of grass and in the middle of it was a village. Except it wasn't a village. somehow, there was only one building and it was a smithy (blacksmith building). It also had a well and a planting area making it a perfect place to camp out. I went in to get the stuff in the treasure chest and found a lot of goods.

Here's a screenshot of the smithy. All of the items below are what I found in the chest. Sorry for making the images too big.


I went around the taiga for a bit and found the blacksmith. BTW do villagers now talk? Because, this blacksmith was emitting noises at me.



OK now I have a lot of questions. After the 1.7 update, do villages now spawn in separate buildings? Do villagers now talk? I'm puzzled and kind of scared at the same time.

Villagers have made noises for a couple updates. I don't think villages spawn as a single building, what you found isn't likely to happen again.

Villagers now make "HERRRRM" sounds, like cows with moos and such.

Did my world have a brainfart or something?

Possibly.

This is actually pretty cool! It most likely is just an unbelievably rare occurrence of a not really generated village...

I've seen single-house villages in my world before, I think it's just a really rare happening. Usually they're in 3+ or so for me.

Villages have always been able to spawn as single buildings (even if it's incredibly rare), all a village has to have is a well, a road and a building or farm. As for the villager, yes, they do now talk.

This happened to me too, but he was a desert blacksmith. So I came up with an explanation. He was a crazy old man, who had taken his entire village hostage in his secret basement, and he was gonna get me next, so I hightailed it out of there!

Hmm I never knew about this before. BTW is it possible to find obsidian in the chest because I got like 8 of those; almost enough to make a portal.

A rare occurrence indeed. Nice find.
