Requirements

Villagers breed when "willing," which requires sufficient food and more beds than current villagers in the area. Each villager needs 12 food points: 3 bread (4 points each), or 12 carrots, potatoes, or beetroots (1 point each).

Steps

  • House and villagers : Build or find a house with at least two villagers and enough space for movement.
  • Add beds : Place one extra bed per new villager desired (e.g., 3 beds for 2 villagers allows 1 baby).
  • Feed them : Toss food on the ground so villagers pick it up—3 bread per villager works fastest. Hearts appear when ready.
  • Wait : Leave them alone; babies spawn after a short time and grow in 20 minutes. Villagers cooldown for 5 minutes post-breeding.

Tips

  • Use bread from village hay bales for efficiency.
  • Ensure no overcrowding; extra beds claim the village center.
  • Works in Java and Bedrock editions up to recent updates.
