How To Breed Villagers in 1.20! ▫ Minecraft Survival Guide S3 ▫ Tutorial Let’s Play [Ep.19]

Hello everyone my name is pixel riffs and welcome back to the Minecraft Survival Guide I hope you’re all having a good day in today’s episode we are gonna head back to that Village but I’m going to start off by doing something that is long overdue at this point and

Adding The Mending enchantment to some of these tools so that now hopefully we’ll be able to get a little more durability back on them before they end up breaking that’s going to be super cheap for the ax that’s lovely we got those two from the villagers in the

Igloo in fact I wonder how those guys are doing well the Librarians down here waiting at the bottom of the ladder to greet me thank you so much for the books my friend we need a few more mending books I think but first I want to point out something that’s actually really

Useful about trading with villagers it also gets you experience and so if you trade with them whilst holding a mending tool or wearing a piece of armor that has mending any experience that you gather will go to repairing the durability of that item that’s something I frequently get asked about by Bedrock

Edition players who do not have the option to put absolutely everything into their offhands so while it’s possible for me to stand up my skeleton born with an X in one hand and my sword in the other hand swiping away at mobs to get the experience and the ax in my offhand

Will mend in the process unfortunately Bedrock Edition players are limited in what that offhand can hold so they can’t hold extra Tools in there to repair them and they often wonder how on Earth they’re supposed to mend things like a silk touch pickaxe which you can’t mine

Ores for to get experience from that so in my experience if you’re a Bedrock Edition player the two things you can use to repair those tools are trading with villagers and collecting items from a furnace and now we have four more mending books I’d like to get some of

The durability fixed on some of my other tools as well and one other thing that’s worth noting is that infinity and mending are incompatible because this bow could potentially last forever with only a single arrow and that’s just a little bit too overpowered for the Minecraft team’s liking so you can have

Mending or Infinity on a bow but not both and at this point it will probably be a good idea to put some mending onto my chest plate and my boots as well and the boots is looking like a long list of stuff especially with that armor trim

Upgrade the main reason I want to do that at the beginning of this episode is that between episodes on live streams I’m going to be doing some mining just for some basic resources so while you might see stuff popping up here and there in some of my storage chests I

Have not done the mining off camera it’s all been on camera over at twitch.tv pixarifts and while we’ll definitely do a few episodes in future about mining techniques and a few other bits and pieces there are still some cave biomes we haven’t discovered this series is

Going to get a bit long-winded if I end up including every single vein of diamonds that I mine so for now you can head over to those twitch streams if you want to see some of that mining happen and we’re going to head back over to the

Savannah Village and so we return across the ocean with a different set of levels and a completely different inventory because thanks to the power of movie Magic I now have all of the stuff we need to talk about villager breeding and the different villager professions right now the population of our Savannah

Village here is quite small but there are a couple of things we can do about that as far as I can tell we have four or five villagers here it looks like the baby villager that we saw earlier has actually now grown up and it might even

Be this one over here who’s talking to the Villager with the green coat in terms of the actual professions that are represented this guy over here is a leather worker so presumably there is a cauldron somewhere and I would guess that’s in this house here with the two

Banners either side and yet there are two cauldrons right here so in theory this Village could support two leather workers while he isn’t at his workstation right now one villager is a Fletcher you’ll notice them by the feather in their calf and of our remaining two villagers one here is

Unemployed he hasn’t found a workstation yet which probably just means he hasn’t been close enough to that leather worker’s house and our final villager here is something of a special case these green coated villagers you can often find walking around naturally generated Villages and they are nitwits they are basically unemployable if you

Put down a bunch of workstations they will never take a job they are essentially there to be a default villager 100 of the time so this is a pretty decent sized Village that we’ve now wrote off and protected from zombie attacks and the total population is four

Today we are going to do something about that and the simplest way we can go about this is to put down some beds because villagers can breed and the way they decide to breed is detecting whether or not there are empty beds in the village at certain times of day each

Villager will look for points of interest and they will claim themselves a bed in the village and once they’ve done that they will sleep in that bed pretty consistently but if they detect that there are beds nearby which haven’t been claimed they will typically attempt to fill those beds up with new baby

Villagers so to really kick start this process I brought a bunch of wall with me we’re going to make a variety of beds and place them down in the Village Center we’re not going to worry about making houses for all of them although that’s something you can of course do if

You want your villagers to be well accommodated but for the purposes of this tutorial we’re going to be very mechanical and straightforward about it and simply put down a bunch of beds here in the center of the village there we go I brought enough Wool with me to add 11

Beds to the center of the village here and in theory each of these villagers should now detect those beds and think you know what let’s produce 11 more villagers but before they will do that we have to make sure the Village’s population is well fed and there are a

Few different foods that can be used to encourage them to breed you will often find crop Fields growing in and around Villages and a lot of the time those will contain hay bales so one easy option is to break all of these hay bales convert all of the wheat into

Bread and you’ll have a supply of bread you can feed to the villagers in the case of our Savannah Village here we can also supplement that with the wheat that’s growing in these farms around the village the other three foods you can use are potatoes carrots or beetroot any

Of these are appropriate foods to give to villagers to put them in the mood to breed you’ll notice the Villager there picked up those loaves of bread indicating that the villagers have an inventory but also that they are willing to pick up any food that they find

Dropped on the floor like this so we’ll split our bread evenly Among The Villages I can’t exactly remember who I gave each of the loaves of bread to but I’m fairly certain we haven’t fed the nitwit villager yet I’m pretty sure sure the Fletcher has had some so this

Leather worker over here probably needs some as well and then we’re going to step back and let nature take its course at this point you will want to go into your video settings and make sure you have particles set to All Because at that point you’ll be able to see the

Heart particles that villagers generate when they are in the mood to breed and villager breeding typically happens at the beginning and end of the day when the sun is either rising or setting and sometimes it may take a little while for them to decide to breed in the case of

This nitwit villager it may be that they also needed a place to sleep first and at times like these villagers may find the presence of a player a distraction this is not actually a joke if you’re too close to a villager while they’re trying to perform some sort of action

They will sometimes return to their idle mode so that they can be available to trade with and as such they will cancel any other behavior that they might have had queued up such as breeding or going to their job site so that’s one way in which hanging around and waiting for

Villager breeding to happen can potentially hold up the process but having used up all of the hay bales around here I’m Keen to return to my house and gather some of the crops that we’ve been farming just so we have a decent supply of food if these Villages

Need more to be encouraged to breed and returning to the Village the following day we’re going to Chuck a handful of carrots and maybe some potatoes to each of these villages we don’t have to be exact about this but we’ll give each of them about a dozen

And oh the wandering Trader has showed up with the usual variety of Trades that aren’t all that useful to us right now but I should also add that the wandering Trader is kind of exempt from any of these Village activities if the trailer is around they’re not going to be

Interested in eating food or breeding with any of the other villagers they are simply going to continue their wandering lifestyle so we can ignore him and his llamas for now and instead celebrate the miracle of life because a new Villager has arrived in the village probably The

Offspring of these two if I had to guess perhaps it’s a good thing that I was chatting to the wandering Trader and we didn’t intrude on these two’s privacy but in reality we should just end up with a couple more baby villagers every day or two thanks to the fact that the

Meeting times of day the morning and evening are these times that these villages will typically socialize and that’s when breeding can occur to help things along a little bit I’m going to replace some of the crops that we find in this village with some carrots I find carrots or potatoes are typically the

Most useful crops for Village of breeding since they take the crafting element out of the process of feeding your villagers I believe in terms of the behind the scenes values that Minecraft applies to these things bread is actually slightly more effective at getting your villagers to breed but you

Get multiple carrots per crop and so it tends to balance out a little bit so now like other baby creatures this child will eventually grow up into a full-sized villager and despite being The Offspring of a green coated nitwit villager who’s now over here bathing in the water supply and trampling on the

Crops baby villagers will always end up being a standard unemployed villager that once they grow up will be able to choose a job site and start working nitwit villages will never be born in a village they will only ever generate naturally which makes them both kind of a unique curiosity and a mild

Inconvenience so now we’re going to turn to the rest of the contents of my inventory and this Village’s future profession because once the Villager grows up they’ll look around for a job site block and they should hopefully find this composter I’m going to place it down over here by the field in hopes

That a farmer villager will actually help us speed up the process of breeding Villages because villager breeding is supposed to be something that happens naturally in these Villages and you’ll find that baby villagers are more likely to pop up around a village that already has a farmer because when the crops in

The village are fully grown a farmer will harvest them and start Distributing them amongst the rest of the village population at meeting times this encourages villager breeding to happen naturally at which point the only thing you need to have in the village is enough beds to support the children that

Are born so once again now that meeting time has begun I’m gonna Chuck some carrots around some of these Villages just to make sure that they have enough to breed a few more since there are lots of empty beds still I’ve also noticed that these two Villages here are both

Leather workers now meaning the unemployed villager did Wander over towards that leftover cauldron after all after making sure this Fletcher Villager has a few more bits of food as well we’re probably going to go and remove that second cauldron from this house so so that one of the leather workers can

Become a different profession oh there we go we have heart particles which probably means villager breeding is happening let’s back off a little bit to make sure they aren’t distracted by the player being around and before long there we go a young Villager has been born so now we have two baby villagers

Running around this Village and now it is bedtime the adults go to their houses the nitwit sleeps here under the stars and so do the two baby villagers that have recently been born I’m going to spend a little more time here waiting for these villagers to grow up waiting

For more to be born and tossing some food in occasionally to make sure that the villagers are still happy enough to breed and from there we should hopefully increase The Village’s population to the size that we can take a look at every single villager profession all in one place

Hey folks welcome back so our population of villagers is almost fully grown at night you’ll find all of these beds are now occupied with baby villagers or adult villagers who’ve grown up from babies and just a quick note if anything looks a little different around here I

Did have an unfortunate PC crash that corrupted my Minecraft save I had a backup from the previous episode and so I had to recreate a bunch of the work that I had been doing in the previous episode so this fence might be a slightly different shape I even put the

Beds back in the same order from a screenshot from the previous clip and hopefully everything should be much the same as normal but a few things in my inventory might be slightly different I do still have a bunch of the workstations that we’re going to put

Around so that we can give some of these unemployed villagers new professions the farmer over here has already accepted his profession at the composter so this guy is now harvesting the carrots as they grow and giving them out to the other villagers so we don’t have to lift

A finger as far as feeding the rest of the population and as you can see it seems like they are still breeding once they reach the point where the beds are all filled up though you will notice those heart particles turning into little storm clouds to indicate that the

Villagers are annoyed about something and that happens if you accidentally hit a villager at some point but it will also happen when it seems like they want to breed but there is no more room to breed at which point they will just continue chewing through the food in

Their inventory and you don’t really need to do anything about that unless you want the villagers population to continue expanding now with the sun high in the sky like it is it’s time to start talking about professions so let’s go over the ones that we already know we

Have a Fletcher in this Village but we can put down a Fletching table over here and one of our adult villagers will probably path find their way over here and switch to the Fletcher profession I think I see one approaching now they have that very determined look on their

Face when they start to attach themselves to a workstation there he is he’s a Fletcher I’ve also brought a lectern with me so that we can recruit a librarian from amongst these guys and it looks looks like another villager from over there is coming here even though these two Villages are slightly closer

Yep he’s a librarian and it looks like he’s got a couple of Fairly basic trades we might try and re-roll those for a more favorable Book trade but we’ve already got a couple of books rolling back at the igloo so we don’t need to worry too much about that now here are

Some of the workstations that we haven’t had a chance to craft ourselves already we already have one of these in our inventory this is the crafting recipe for a cauldron so frankly I might keep the iron there because a cauldron gives us the opportunity for a leather worker

But we already have a leather worker in this Village their cauldron is in one of those houses I think the one with the yellow walls and unless you’ve been doing a lot of breeding and killing of cows leather workers aren’t all that useful they’re not going to trade you

Anything too spectacular I believe the final trade that you get from those is a saddle and we’ve been getting plenty of those from fishing and looting dungeons so if anything I might move this leather workers workstation out into the Central Plaza of workstations that we are developing here and I think I’ll leave

The Cauldron here just so the level the worker has somewhere to work but we’re not going to worry too much about those one other workstation we have already seen is a brewing stand which we haven’t actually crafted ourselves I took the one from the igloo in the previous

Episode but we’re going to pop that over here and a cleric is going to be attached to that shortly let’s fill in some of the landscape here with dirt so we have a nice clean space to work in and we’ve already seen the barrels effect on a villager converting one of

Them into a fisherman in the middle of their meeting over there it looks like a couple of them are now breaking off and attaching to those workstations so we now have a fisherman we now have a leather worker and it looks like this guy is over here to become a cleric the

Last one we still need to craft is a block we haven’t seen before if I get two planks and two string like so we will end up with a loom the loom is a workstation block for a Shepherd villager and can be used to design your

Own custom banners and that’s a topic we will do an entire episode on in future because there’s a lot to be said about banners for now though we aren’t going to get a Shepherd until the morning because it looks like these villagers just want to get some sleep another side

Note our Village’s population has now increased to the point where they are generating more iron golems you’ll see through the trees over there that another Iron Golem is standing off to one side and we have this fella over here as well so once The Village’s population increases there are more

Opportunities for the villagers to create an iron golem if it feels like they need additional protection this can become a bit of a problem the Iron Golems will end up more or less everywhere in our village enclosure by the end of this but I can recommend a

Few ways of dealing with that problem to our benefit a little bit later on for now though let’s continue with our workstations if we put down a blast furnace over here that will recruit for us an armorer the smithing table will recruit a toolsmith and the grindstone which we’ve been using to disenchant

Items is the workstation for a weaponsmith so with the workday starting a few of these folks are coming to work and we’re now seeing a couple of others recruiting themselves that is a Shepherd right there and he is now trading us 18 black or gray wool for or an emerald so

If we find any black or gray sheep we’re going to be able to trade with that guy some of these younger villagers have yet to fully grow up so we need to wait for them to take the blacksmith professions over here but in the meantime we can place down a couple more workstations

The cartography table which we looked at in the episode about maps and that’s the workstation of course for the Cartographer we’ll put a stone cutter back here so a stone Mason can come here and start to use that and finally over here the smoker is the workstation for a

Butcher villager who trades in raw and cooked meat and so with the exception of the composter which I’m keeping over here by this farm so that the farmer can return to their field once they have refreshed their trades at the workstation these are the Villager workstations that we’ll be looking at

Over the next couple of videos as we trade with each of these villagers find out what useful trades they have and upgrade them to Master Level so they will trade us as many items as they can over time you will find that you have a few favorite professions that you like

To stick to for some useful trades depending on your style of gameplay for example if you’re interested in getting a bunch of different enchantments having a lot of different Librarians is a good idea since each one will only trade maybe a maximum of four different enchanted books and sometimes they can

Double up and have the same book later on in their trades so you’ll need a whole Army of librarians if you want to get every enchantment in the game that way likewise weaponsmiths can trade us enchanted swords and will buy coal from you in exchange for emeralds later on

They will have things like axes and swords available for sale even up to Diamond tier of materials so they can be very very useful to have and sometimes the enchantments on that equipment can prove very useful the same is true of the tool Smith and the armorer when we

End up getting hold of those the toolsmith can trade you diamond pickaxes and shovels the armorer will trade you diamond armor and it may be that you need a couple of those just to make sure you have every tool or piece of armor covered and since each of these

Villagers will lock their trades after you traded with them a few different times per day it may be that you decide you want a lot more Redstone Dust at your disposal in which case trading with just one cleric per day isn’t really gonna cut it so we’re going to

Potentially recruit a bunch more clerics so that I can buy all the Redstone Dust I want for my future technical projects and the Fletcher will have a trade for sticks which is often such a useful trade for Gathering emeralds in the early stages since all it requires is a

Stout ax and a decent Tree Farm but the leather worker isn’t going to be all that useful to us because he will sell us leather equipment and at this point we are past the point of really needing leather equipment even if it does come in stylish colors and considering the

Amount of leather he’s asking for for a single Emerald trading that amount of leather to him in order to buy a leather tunic seems a little bit excessive this does however signpost to the player that it is possible to color leather armor in different ways so it is kind of neat to

Have that in the game just to inform you about that mechanic if you weren’t aware of it already but as you’ll see we have now turned this Village from a popular regulation of four into a pretty thriving place we have baby villagers growing up all over the place there may

Still be a few left to be born to fill out all of the beds including the ones in the houses that I haven’t really looked at Iron Golems are popping up all over the place to continue to protect the Village from anything else but with the amount of light we’ve got in this

Area and the perimeter fence we should have a pretty safe little Community here I’m gonna stick around long enough to introduce you to the last few villager professions before we wrap up this episode and in the next episode we’re going to take a look at exactly what

Kind of Trades these folks have once we’ve traded with them a few more times and now our final villager is making his way to the final workstation this guy is about to become a cartographer look at that stylish monocle and this guy is going to buy paper much like the

Librarian but he is going to trade US maps which will be coming very handy in a future episode for now though we got a stone Mason over here who will buy clay balls for you and sell you clay bricks we have the butcher over here who is currently looking for raw chicken and

Raw rabbit to trade and in addition to the weaponsmith over there with his eye patch we have the toolsmith who is trading a stone tools right now but will trade us better stuff later on and the armorer who is trading us some pretty nice looking iron helmets and chest

Plates so now our village is complete with all 13 villager professions if you count the farmer over there and even a nitwit represented as part of the village Collective well that’s gonna be it for this episode folks but remember we are going to be coming back with

Another episode and talking to each of these villagers in turn to find out what makes them tick what their trades are and what we can use for the future so that’s gonna be it for this episode thank you so much for watching the Minecraft Survival Guide my name has
