Double doors
Are double doors recognized as 1 or 2 doors by NPCs? Do they recognize them at all? Skyboy 01:33, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

Eaten by Zombies
Zombies ate all of my NPC neighbors. :( Is there any way to get them back? The village is too quiet with only me there... 166.249.131.137 04:35, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Wait for 1.4 to come out... then Zombie Villagers wil spawn, and you can cure those to populate your village. If you've been to the Nether and have a brewing stand....  :-(  --Mental Mouse 13:44, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

Getting different Villager types to spawn
Can you get types like the Blacksmith or Priest to spawn using these designs? Would you need to build a replica of a forge or church respectively, or would there be smaller designs that would meet criteria to count as such buildings? Or can you only get the one kind to spawn manually? NightChime 19:10, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

Spawn Eggs
Would it count as a village if you used spawn eggs to place the original villagers? 96.61.163.135 04:59, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

Boundary
Where is this socalled "boundary?" Is it from the well? The furthest house from the well? The end of the road? It says new villages must be "40 blocks from the 'boundary' of the existing village. From where do I start counting? Olafuuur, 13:37, 2 September 2012 (GMT)
 * You might try checking the debug screen to find the edges of the "Village" biome. Dunno how things work for the next generation of villages.... --Mental Mouse 13:45, 2 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Although it was discussed by Mojang, there is no 'village biome' yet. The '40 blocks' thing seems to have come from these comments; which say that the village boundary is about 40 blocks from the nearest door. -- Orthotope 05:54, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

siege
do zombie seiges occur in created npc villiages? 69.116.21.37 10:41, 7 September 2012 (UTC)


 * They do, if there are enough villagers. They also spawn no matter what light level there is. yoshidude56 00:19, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

raw materials
do you really need to line the corners with logs? can it be planks instead or cobble?

Walls next to doors?
Do you actually need to build walls next to doors? Like the Scrooge design, with door|pillar|door|pillar etc. Could you not just do door|door|door|door? --192.76.82.90 10:41, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

Possible Super village Designs?
Based on the Requirments for doors to be houses. I have callculated that one can Have a 3 by three building with four doors each, can be placed with gap between with all doors getting counted other than the houses on the out most perimenter loosing One door from each house of the sides and 2 from each courner. Test show it to be qlichy and a failure of transit. You could use it if you like the theoretical pop count/effienty(.25 doors per m^2) but the design is more trouble than its worth for me. A design I like better Is the turbo scrooge with two gaps inbetween them. Stack by using glass walk ways to leave sun light to get to bottom.
 * Good show, old boy! Robstar14... anything but! 18:50, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

Villages in the nether?
I know that villages only generate in the overworld, but I was wondering if it was possible to make villages in the nether or the end and then use some villager eggs. If someone could tell me if you could then that would be great.--Thedemon911 (talk) 00:50, 16 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Not in the Nether. The sky isn't visible, so they won't recognize houses; without houses, they'll tend to wander and get themselves killed. Might be possible in the End, though. -- Orthotopetalk 03:59, 16 November 2013 (UTC)
