How to Breed Villagers in Minecraft

Breeding villagers in Minecraft requires a few essential steps: bringing villagers together, assigning jobs, providing beds, and giving them food. Follow this guide to make the process easier.

Step 1: Gather Two Villagers

The first step is to bring two villagers into the same house or any enclosed area.

• Make sure at least one villager has a job.
• If not, place a job site block (e.g., lectern, composter, cauldron, etc.) near one villager, and they will automatically become a tradesman.

Step 2: Place Beds

Beds are crucial for breeding villagers.

• Place two beds for the couple.
• Add one extra bed for each child you want to breed.

Step 3: Provide Food

Food is the key to making villagers willing to breed.

• Throw several stacks of food (bread, carrots, potatoes, etc.) near them.
• Villagers will share the food, and you’ll see hearts appear above them.
• Shortly after, a child villager will be born.

➡️ Note: Villagers can breed up to two children per day, and breeding only works during the daytime, not at night.

How to Gather Villagers

Finding a Village

• First, locate a village. This may require a long walk, depending on your world.
• Once you find it, you’ll see multiple villagers around the area.

Bringing Villagers Together

This can be tricky and may take time:

1. Trap each villager by placing blocks around them so they cannot move.
2. Build a walled path connecting the two trapped villagers.
3. Open a small section of the wall so they can move toward each other and meet.

👉 Tip: Avoid making the meeting area too large, as villagers may not interact properly if the space is oversized.

✅ With these steps, you can successfully breed villagers and grow your Minecraft village efficiently.
