i play hard and live in the normal world. lately i start a world, find the village and build a house near there. in a couple of days the doors are off the homes and the villagers are gone. how can i get emeralds if there are no villagers to trade with? this has happened to the last couple of games i have played. i just want to delete the game and start fresh but how can i keep my villagers. the last two worlds were first, sand and then spruce village. chas
First thing to do next time - put stone blocks in front of every door and keep the villagers inside. When you have iron.. make iron doors. In the first possible moment - build a wall, light up all the village and check the roofs for spawning points. What I do is - make my starter base at least 128 blocks away from the village. When I'm ready and have enough resources I make a secure village. And the best of tips for the start - sleep! If you don't give the Zombies chance to spawn, everything will be okay. What really interesting is - you said you play on hard. That means the Zombies didn't kill your villagers.. the Sun did. On hard mode there is 100% chance that villager will become a Zombi Villager if attacked by a Zombie. Also cool mechanic to think of because of the trades : )
good advice i didn't think of the sun killing them. interesting that after the villagers are gone, there are no more zombies around. i am playing beta version, forgot to mention that, ant thought that might be the reason for the villagers disappearing. do the villagers ever reappear in the village or can i find another village and kidnap villagers to populate the village again? chas
Hostile mobs don't spawn more than 128 blocks from a player, and already spawned mobs that get further away than that immediately despawn (unless they're name tagged or have picked up equipment.)

Zombies have invaded your village and killed everybody.

what is the reason for the 128 blocks?
Hostile mobs don't spawn more than 128 blocks from a player, and already spawned mobs that get further away than that immediately despawn (unless they're name tagged or have picked up equipment.)
Just testing.
thank you for that information. i build my houses too close to the village. chas
And of course you can kidnap a couple of villagers and bring them. Or capture and cure two Zombi villagers. But they don't just spawn : )
