Sieges are an upcoming feature in Minecraft. The first part of the project was added in 12w07a. Zombies have a chance of coming into a village in packs and attacking the Villagers at night. Usually, a whole pack will concentrate on one door or villager. Villager breeding will keep the population up according to the number of houses there is. Players can create new houses, which Villagers will breed to occupy the house.
As of 12w08a, Villagers have Iron Golems to defend them from Zombies and other mobs. Iron Golems can naturally spawn near villages. Currently, only these functions are known to be implemented to the game, but there may be more features in future updates.

Trivia
- When a Zombie is attacking a Villager or door, it usually cannot detect you unless you attack him.
- Zombies also attack Villager children.
- Although Zombies are the only mob that attacks Villagers, Iron Golems still attacks almost all other hostile mobs.
