Villagers have a pretty important role in Minecraft. Villagers can grow crops, trade, and perform other important tasks. You need enough villagers! Fortunately, breeding villagers is quite easy to do. This wikiHow teaches you how to breed villagers in Minecraft.
Step
Method 1 of 6: Breeding Villagers
Step 1. Find the village
Villages can be found randomly. Be patient. You may need to wander around to find the village. Villages can be found amidst meadows, deserts, taiga, and savannas. The village must be inhabited by at least 2 residents.
Step 2. Build buildings to breed villagers (optional)
This is not mandatory, but buildings can keep villagers from wandering around. Buildings can also protect residents from monsters and robbers. Buildings can be made with any material. The building must be able to accommodate the entire village population to be bred, the beds, and the young.
- Make sure the windows are covered with glass or iron rods. Villagers' babies can pass through the gaps in the open buildings.
- Don't build doors. Villagers can open and close doors. To prevent the villagers from escaping, use the fence gate.
- The jobs of the villagers are determined by the jobs available nearby. Newly placed residents in the village will automatically work in nearby jobs. If you want the villagers to do a specific job, build a building about 48 blocks away from the nearest job. This is done so that the villagers do not have jobs automatically.
Step 3. Assemble at least 3 beds and place them in the village or already built building
In order for the villagers to breed, it takes 2 beds for the resident couple who will breed and 1 bed for the baby. You will need to assemble more beds if you want to breed more villagers. You can assemble the bed on the craft table using 3 blocks of wool and 3 planks of wood.
Step 4. Bring the two villagers closer together
If you want to use the building, lure two villagers into it. After that, close the entrance to the building so that residents cannot get out. You can move the villagers by walking towards them. This will push the villagers in the direction you want. You can also move the villagers by boat.
You can assemble a boat with a shovel and 5 planks of wood on the crafting table. Place the boat on the ground and push the villagers into the boat. Once the villager is in the boat, he will remain silent until the boat is destroyed. This can help keep villagers from wandering around. After that, you can get into the boat and move the villagers to the desired location. On land, the boat will move slowly. Make sure the route you take remains flat. After arriving at the desired location, destroy the boat with an ax or hand so that the villagers can return free
Step 5. Collect food
Each villager has his own inventory which he uses to store certain items. In order to reproduce, villagers need 3 loaves of bread, 12 carrots, 12 beets, or 12 potatoes. Fortunately, you can find these food supplies in the village where the locals live.
-
Carrot:
Carrots are grown by residents in the village. You can harvest carrots from the village garden when they are ripe. Carrots are ripe when the top leaves are long and the top of the carrot is sticking out of the soil where it was planted.
-
Potato:
Potatoes are also grown by residents in the village. You can harvest potatoes in the village garden. Potatoes are ripe when there are petioles growing above the soil where the potatoes are planted. However, sometimes harvested potatoes can be poisonous. Poisonous potatoes cannot be consumed.
-
Beetroot:
Beetroot is also grown by villagers in the village. However, unlike potatoes and carrots, you cannot grow beets to produce more beets. You have to plant beetroot seeds to grow them. This of course will make your inventory more and more full. Beetroot and seeds can be found in village gardens. The beets are ripe when the leaves and tops are sticking out of the soil where the beets are planted.
-
Bread:
You can buy bread from the villagers, or make your own using 3 grains on the crafting table. Sometimes, you can also find bread in chests. Wheat is grown by the people in the village. Wheat is ripe when it grows long and darkens in color. Crush ripe wheat plants to collect the wheat.
Step 6. Give the villagers food
To give the villagers food, simply drop the food nearby. When villagers walk on food, the food will go into the villagers' supply. Once two villagers who are close to each other have enough food, they will begin to breed. You can drop food by selecting it and pressing the “Q” key on the keyboard. You can also click on a food in your inventory menu and then drag it out.
Step 7. Wait for the villagers to breed
The villagers were breeding when they looked at each other and there were hearts floating between the two. After that, the villager's baby will appear. The villager's baby will grow up after 20 minutes.
Method 2 of 6: Breeding Villagers in Minecraft 1.14
Step 1. Find the village
Villages will appear randomly. Villages can be found amidst meadows, deserts, and savannas. The village must be inhabited by at least 2 residents. Be patient. The village is sometimes quite difficult to find. You may need to wander around to find the village. Use the map to track your location.
Step 2. Build more houses with doors in the village
Villagers will breed if the population is less than 35% of the total number of doors in the village. A 'valid' door is one that faces into the roofed room, and the other side faces out.
- To make a valid door, you only need a door with a block on one side.
- To increase the number of doors in your village, you can create buildings with a large number of doors.
Step 3. Build a garden
People really like farming. Generally, most villages already have their own gardens. You can build more gardens for the villagers to breed more often. To build a garden, find a fairly open area and then dig a hole next to the block of earth. After that, fill the hole with water. Use the hoe to plow the block of earth. You can plant seeds or vegetables in blocks of soil. You can also let the villagers do their own farming.
-
You can throw food at the villagers. Villagers multiply when they have 3 loaves, 12 carrots, or 12 potatoes.
To make bread, select the crafting table and place 3 grains in the 3x3 grid of the crafting menu horizontally. Slide the pre-made bread into your inventory menu
Step 4. Barter with the villagers
Bartering with the villagers can make him more willing to breed. Each villager has different merchandise in his inventory. In order to be able to trade with the villagers, you must bring the items he wants. Several times bartering with the same villagers will allow him to sell new rare items. Keep bartering with the villagers until they are ready to breed. The next barter process has a 1 in 5 chance of being able to make the villagers reproduce. Green particles will appear when villagers want to breed.
Villagers who are willing to breed will not automatically look for mates. Two villagers who are willing to breed must be close to each other. Bartering with the villagers will make him more willing to breed
Step 5. Wait for the villagers to breed
Once 2 nearby villagers are willing to breed, they will breed automatically. The villagers are breeding when they look at each other and there are hearts floating around them. The villager's baby will appear. Baby will grow up after 20 minutes.
After breeding, the villagers will not be willing to re-breed. You have to get him back ready to breed

-
Stone:
Rock is a material that is quite strong (and is more resistant to explosions). To collect stones, you must first make a pickaxe. Select a pickaxe from the inventory menu. Use the pickaxe to destroy the stone blocks located in the cave or on the side of the mountain.
Step 2. Choose a location
Make sure the selected location is in the village. The center of the village is the average coordinate of all the doors in the village. The outermost part of the village is 32 blocks from the center or the door furthest from the center of the village, whichever is further away.
Step 3. Make the building
Use the collected materials to make the exterior of a building or house. You can make buildings of any shape as long as the top is covered with blocks. Buildings must be 3 blocks or more high for villagers (and your characters) to move around in them. Make a 2-beam-high hole in the wall of the building so the door can be installed.
To create a building, place the required materials in the bar located under the supplies menu. Highlight a material in the bar to select it. Point your eyes to the ground, then right click (or LT key) to place the block on the ground. Read “How to Build in Minecraft” to learn how to build things

Step 5. Use the crafting table to make the door
To make the door, open the crafting table and place 6 wooden planks in the 3x3 craft menu grid. Slide the door to your inventory menu.
Step 6. Place the door in your building
To place a door, move the door to the bar under the supplies menu. After that highlight the door in the bar to select it. Keep your eyes on the ground, then right-click (or press the LT key) to place the door. The more doors in the village, the more villagers are willing to breed.
Villagers can detect doors horizontally up to 16 blocks away, vertically up to 3 blocks high, or underground up to 5 blocks deep. A valid door must have more beams on one side (indoors) than the other (outdoors)
Method 5 of 6: Bartering with the Villagers
Step 1. Select the villagers
To select a villager, stand in front of it, then look at it. Right click or press the LT key. This will display the villagers' supplies menu.
Step 2. Observe the villagers' supplies
The space at the top of the resident's inventory window shows the items sold by him. The box in the lower-left corner of the window displays the items he wants. You have to bring the item he wants to barter with.
Step 3. Select the item you want to buy
To select an item, click or press the select button. Items you exchange will be taken from your inventory. The items you buy will go to your inventory.
Villagers only have one or two merchandise when they first barter with you. The more you trade with the villagers, the more goods they sell
Method 6 of 6: Building Gardens for Villagers
Step 1. Collect rock, coal and iron ore
This material can be found in caves. You will need a pickaxe to collect this material. Read “How to Make Tools in Minecraft” to learn how to make pickaxes and other tools.
- Stone blocks are gray blocks that are similar to rocks. Use a pickaxe to collect stones.
- Coal blocks look like stone blocks with black spots. Use a pickaxe to collect coal blocks.
- The iron ore looks like a block of stone with yellow spots. Use the stone pickaxe to collect iron ore.
Step 2. Make a craft table
Open the crafting menu and place 4 wooden blocks to make a crafting table. After building the crafting table, place it on the ground.
Step 3. Make a furnace
To make a kiln, open the crafting table and place 8 stones across the sides of the 3x3 crafting menu. Slide the burner to the bar below your supplies menu. Move the burner to the bar and select it. Keep your eyes on the ground then right click (or press the LT key) to place the furnace.
Step 4. Use a kiln to melt the iron
To smelt iron ore, open the kiln and place the coal into the fuel box (the box under the fire icon). After that, place the iron ore into the box over the fire. Leave it for a few minutes until the iron ore melts. Once the ore has melted, open the furnace and then slide the iron rod from the box to the right of the window into your supplies menu.
Step 5. Use the crafting table to make a bucket
To make a bucket, open the crafting table and place the iron bars in the middle left, center right, and bottom center boxes of the crafting menu. After that, drag the bucket to your inventory menu.
Step 6. Find an open area in the village
Find an area in the village that is quite open and exposed to sunlight. Make sure the area is at least 5x10.
Step 7. Dig a hole in the center of the garden
You can dig a hole in the center of the garden with your hands (or a shovel). The hole should be 1 block deep.
Step 8. Use the bucket to transport the water
Move the bucket to the bar under the supplies menu and select it. Find the nearest water source and use the bucket to carry the water. Select the bucket and then click the watery area to fill the bucket.
Step 9. Fill the hole with water
After fetching the water with the bucket, revisit your garden. Pour water into the hole to fill it. Select a bucket that is already filled with water in your inventory and then click the hole in the center of the garden to pour water into it. You may have to do this several times until the entire hole is filled with water.
Step 10. Use the crafting table to make a hoe
To make a hoe, open the crafting table and place 2 sticks in the middle and bottom squares of the crafting menu. After that, place 2 planks of wood, stone, iron bar, or diamond in the top center and top left squares. Slide the hoe into your inventory.

Move the hoe to the bar under your inventory menu. Choose a hoe. Use a hoe to plow the soil next to the hole that is already filled with water.
Step 13. Start planting
After plowing the soil, place the fruit and vegetables to be planted in the bar below your supply menu. Grow fruits and vegetables by pressing right click or LT key. Leave it for a few days until it is ready to be harvested.
Step 14. Harvest ripe plants
Once the plants have grown up, left click or press the RT button to harvest them.
- The villagers will harvest the ripened crops for you. Residents will also plant new crops in the garden you have created.
-
If a villager has 3 loaves of bread, 12 carrots, 12 potatoes, or 12 beets, he is willing to breed.
To make bread, open the crafting table and place 3 oats in the crafting box horizontally. Move the bread to your inventory menu
Tips
- Villagers who are happy and have all their needs met will be more willing to breed.
- Try to breed villagers as often as possible. You can barter more often if there are many villagers. This can certainly increase your chances of finding rare items when you trade with villagers.
