I have had skellies and zombies with full gold and diamond armor on in normal mode. Too bad the armor doesn't 't drop when you kill them.

Redwood biome. It would have steep sided valleys with shallow rivers in them. The redwoods would use the fir wood, but grow up to 3x3 and taller than jungle trees.

The tunnels will not count. I have tried that. To help keep you villagers safe build a couple houses with front yards. Fence in the front or back yard. With a gate and walkway. Move a pair of villagers with minecarts into the yard with the house in the middle. Just make sure the fence is far enough away from the house to keep the npcs from jumping over the fence. Put lots of torches around to keep monster spawn away. Build a couple of those and some unfenced houses. Other npcs may have a tendency to stay near the houses with front yards and trapped npcs. I even give them a pet. They seem to like a chicken or cow to socialize with. These fenced houseslso makes it easier to slaughter zombies as they line up along the fence trying to get the npcs. This works pretty well and keeps npcs safer.

A tower attached to a house helps as well. Two or three will stay up there away from the mobs

I feel your pain. Through no fault other than my own... I lost 3 months (12 total real days) of work on a map. I had a big npc city with hundreds of villagers. Huge base and mine with a castle on a mountain. All connected with underground tunnels.... with no backup save! Had a 2 second poweroutage. IT CORRUPTED my world. Started over the next day.

I have the same problem. I have several dozen houses in my village. 90% of them sit empty, while dozens and dozens of villagers crowd into 1 house. I hope the AI gets improved on them. 1 villager minimum per house would be great.

I dont know what it is but i used to keep chickens in my melon and wheat farm on mc.smashcraftonline.com and it was fine my chickens never despawned or died. But it started annoying me so i built a room under that where i was gonna keep chickens. But ive tryed like 3 sets of 10 eggs and all of them have despawned. I have grass on the floor troches on the wall, glowstone on the ceiling, and some sugarecane along the Wall. An admin told me to put fence on the wall but that dident work. Does anyone know what to do?

Maybe they are too crowded. Mine sometimes die out if I have too many in a small area.

I am having problems getting an npc village to grow. What I did is added multiple doors to existing houses. Does that add to the total number of houses?

I am playing in superflat mode, and under the town, I made long tunnels with doors every 4 blocks, would those count as houses, or should I replace the 'dirt' roof with wood/cobble?

Adding doors to existing houses does work, but you need 3 extra doors for 1 extra villager.

Also, I'm not sure if I'm misunderstanding you, but if you build houses underground they will not register as houses. Each door needs "access" to the open sky within 5 blocks of it, and a "roof". The roof type doesn't matter, as long as its not glass.

Here's an example of a "house" with multiple doors, each door has a roof within 5 blocks(the line of double slabs in the middle) and is open to the sky on the other side within 5 or less blocks:

Simple Logic:
See village
Do not want to be "ruin the game", don't loot it.
