Whenever I find a village, I end of feeling very guilty because now that I have spawned the chunks, the villagers will die. I really enjoy the Testificates, and they do OCCASIONALLY have good trades. So on our realms server recently, I found a small village, only 5-6 buildings, and I decided to live in it and act as their mayor. I built many new houses as well as institutions in the same style of building such as a barn and a brewing house. Sadly it didnt last.
I had not yet erected a wall around the village, made a golem or properly lit up the entire area, so through the course of me gathering resources around and in the village, all my villagers met very grim fates-Though I am convinced there were some glitches or something with a few who seemingly despawned during the day time.) I am currently working to repopulate though a villager farm and the capture and reimplementation of zombie villagers.
My question is, what is your best village experience?
I have Minecraft Comes Alive mod so I was able to become monarch and made this 4-tall wall all the way around the village and eventually expanded the village to around 20 buildings. XD
Found a village in the desert at about 1200, 1200. Worked on walling it off with 2-high walls of sandstone and lighting it up or placing half slabs. Since that took quite a few days, ran a good distance away from the village every night.
Built a nether portal in one of the houses to connect with my nether tunnel system so I could get to other bases of mine quickly ...
Got the villagers out of the one house they all wanted to crowd into by removing the house door, adding lots more doors elsewhere, and penned up many villagers in various houses and outside various houses, in 1- or 2-villager pens, using wooden fences. This is apparently a zombie-proof way of keeping them because I have found a stray zombie GrRRing at a villager in his little pen across the fence - couldn't strike him across the fence, apparently.
With the villagers all spread out I added more long-houses with lots of doors (which they would notice because they were penned up near them) and actually got a few more villagers.
The hard part was getting a farmer villager to the point where his last trade (endlessly renewed) was wheat. I built an automated chicken farm, a sheep pen, and some large wheat farms to get to this point. The 12th trade took a lot of tries before it went over to the 13th trade, wheat ...
Once at that point, I'm able to get about as many emeralds as I want by trading chicken or wool until that trade is exhausted, then resetting with a single wheat trade.
Then it was just a little work to get a blacksmith (conveniently penned up next to my super farmer villager) traded up to open trades for diamond boots, diamond helmet, diamond pickaxe. A different blacksmith gives me diamond swords. Haven't gotten to diamond chest or diamond legs yet.
Then I built a super giant chicken out of nether quartz next to the village to celebrate the greatness of the Mayor (me). I implemented it as a mob spawner, so it poops flaming zombies, skeletons, and creepers.
(This became my permanent home after a corrupt save file ate up all the work I had done around the spawn point ...)
