Type	Generated Structure
Location	Land-based Biomes
First Appearance	Update 0.9.0

Villages are Generated Structures added in Update 0.9.0. They consist of several structures and are inhabited by Villagers.

Generation[]

Villages may generate in the following Biomes, where the main variation is the type of Blocks used for building:

Plains – Oak Wood and Cobblestone
Savannah – Acacia Wood and Cobblestone
Taiga – Spruce Wood and Cobblestone
Desert – Sandstone and Smooth Sandstone
Ice Plains – Spruce Wood and Cobblestone

Villages have a chance to spawn as Zombie Villages. In this case, they will consist of Moss Stone, Vines and Cobwebs, and Zombie Villagers will spawn in place of regular Villagers. They don't contain any Doors or Torches.

Trivia[]

Some Villages can rarely generate together, creating double or triple Villages.
- Often, when this happens, Grass Paths and buildings may overwrite structures from another Village.
Villages are currently the only sources of fully grown Beetroots.
- However, not all Villages generate with a Beetroot farm.
Biome-based Villages were added in Update 0.15.0, as well as Zombie Villages.
Despite Pressure Plates having been added, Villages still spawn with Brown Carpet tables.
Prior to Update 0.11.0, Village roads were made of Gravel instead of Grass Paths.
