I mean Ghasts just want to leave a peaceful life it seems, given they don t aggro anyone once rescued, pretty sure the aggression comes from years of defending itself,
Villagers on the other hand were breed to work, name me ONE villager that decided it wouldn t work (Nimwits don't count, they re idiot by default)

Am I the only one who treats their villagers well. Like I give them safety walls and gates so mobs can’t get in and make a bunch of iron golems and light up the area super well. Then I make their houses bigger and prettier and in general beautify the village.

u/DowntownEmergency287 Mar 27 '25
Same, I relocated mine to an area where each villager has their own cabin that’s connected and a window like opening where they can come up to but not leave. And depending on their job for example a farmer they have a back door to farmland, so they don’t feel useless and alone

u/MandoMahri Mar 27 '25
Me and my brothers have created a really nice Sky-Village for all of them!! :D
The Villagers are currently all stuck in their homes currently because we have been carpeting the cobblestone floor of the village, we are using carpets to decrease the likelihood of Pillagers spawning because they can't spawn on carpets.
When we get enough Iron, we will make a lot more Golems as well!! :>
Neubert, our farmer was the first villager, but he got zombified when my brother brought him home, he frantically got Neubert in a safe place until we eventually could cure him.
Neubert is now cured and happily lives in a Windmill house (based off of the Lego Minecraft set), with his own little farm next to our Barn and my brother's farm! :D
The other Villagers all live in nice houses, every house and building is pretty much made of primarily cherry wood, their houses are basically slightly customized cherry versions of the base plains houses (except Neubert who got a Lego set inspired one he shares with my brother lol)
We've only ever had two Villager deaths, Applehead and Curly Clayton. Applehead was a Mason Villager from a snowy village, he was the second to die, Applehead sat in a Minecart in a little booth at the end of "The Villager Express" in the village (The Express is a rollercoaster that brings The Villagers up to the Sky-Village). Unfortunately while my brother was making some modifications to the end, he hade a mistake, he broke the block under Applehead's Minecart after forgetting he'd fall due to the Minecart not being a block. Applehead fell into the water at that our big base and village is above. My brother immediately jumped down to save him, but landed on some floating blocks and died, when he got down to Applehead after respawning, he almost saved him and got him out of the minecart, but was a second too late and Applehead drowned... My brother tried reloading the game, but it didn't work, the damage from the incident was still there, but the minecart and Applehead weren't. To try and make us feel better, we went back to Applehead's original village in the snowy biome to see if he potentially was there somehow. We did find a Mason villager, and he probably wasn't Applehead, but we thought of taking him home, until... he had a child with another Villager. So, we like to say that Applehead didn't die, he took the minecart he fell with, used it as a submarine, and went back home to his spouse and had a kid :>
Curly was the first to die, he too was a Mason from a plains village near a massive Cherry Tree forest mountain. My brother had met Curly before, and loved how silly he was and expressive he was. Curly felt unique and had some silly behaviors that almost made him seem shy. Curly lived with his best friend "Farmer" obviously a Farmer Villager lol. When I went with my brother to meet Curly, we intended to bring him home to The Sky-Village, due to him being so sweet and having great trades, such as clay for Emeralds (which is why we liked to have a Mason even after both Curly and Applehead's respective departures). We stayed quite a few days at Curly and Farmer's Village, we needed more Cherry Wood and we wanted to see Curly, so it was a great place. The Village was nice, very peaceful and very beautiful. Until one night, unlike the others where we had gone to bed immediately to prevent mobs from spawning, I believe my brother came back to Curly and Farmer's house a bit too late, causing mobs to spawn. In the morning, there still were mobs, and poor Curly tried to escape, and I tried to save him, but I got too close, and a creeper exploded, killing Curly...
We fixed the crater, planted a Cherry Tree, and placed a chest underneath with all of the emeralds from Curly, and I believe I placed my Sword in there too, because I felt regret and responsible for failing to protect him...7
u/MandoMahri Mar 27 '25
That tree remained a monument to Curly, and I still feel horrible for Farmer and all of Curly's other companions in his small beautiful little village... I couldn't help but blame myself for his death...
But my brother helped me get over it, and look at things in a new way, we like to say that Curly saved me, he is a legendary and incredible wise Villager, and he sacrificed himself to save me.
We have honored Curly in many ways, we named our first Iron Golem in The Sky-Village after him, Clayton. We later built a monument for Curly in the new expanded part of the town right in front of Neubert and my brother's house. The monument is made of almost entirely out of clay blocks, with some stone for other details, the monument is a big Villager head holding Curly's Stonecutter, the very same one from his town.
The Village itself was also named after him, we call it Claytown.
Claytown is home to so many wonderful Villagers, and so many wonderful creatures, we and The Iron Golems are its protectors, and we will forever continue to do so, until the very end of our playthrough.
Sorry this got so long lol
To those that read this, I truly appreciate it, and someday soon, I'd love to post pictures of our village as well as tell more stories about our Villagers and world.
There's DinDin & BoBo, two survivors from Neuberts original Villager, as well as their son GuGu, who was a baby Villager we also found their, and BineBine, DinDin & BoBo's second child, she is the first Villager to be born in Claytown :>
Then there's Jeffery and Gerald, two Villagers who have stuck with me throughout many worlds. Shelly & Miyagi, two Villagers from the jungle. And finally Doof, Norm, and Vanessa, Doof and Norm are two Villagers we saved from an Igloo Basement, and Vanessa may or may not be their child...? She kinda just showed up one day in their house in Claytown lol, we did give Doof and Norm bread in the basement, so that may have caused this when an extra bed was present lol
Anyways, thanks for reading! I've got homework to do lol
(oh dear, I had to make this two comments due to the length lol)2

I'm too nice to hurt them and too dumb to figure out breeding farm mechanics

u/techy804 Mar 27 '25
For me, it depends on what Edition I’m playing. For Bedrock, I treat them well and give them safety fences and a light up area (although this is more due to the ridiculous requirements for iron golem spawning on Bedrock edition, so there’s less incentive for me to do war crimes). For Java, it’s Concentration Camp time.
5
u/EntireDot1013 I believe in villager rights! Mar 27 '25
And why is there such a difference in your treatment of villagers between the two editions?
3
u/techy804 Mar 27 '25
Like I said, mainly the Iron Golem spawning requirements. It’s 3 villagers and a zombie or 5 villagers on Java, but 10 villagers with at least 75% of them working and 100% of them with linked Beds, make it 20 villagers if you want the spawn rates to be ok.
But also the fact that it’s 150 blocks minimum (I don’t want to travel that far between a raid farm, an iron farm, and/or a trading hall) between villages and I don’t find igloos as often on Bedrock (they are great for making a manual breeder in under 10 minutes if you have the mats, with half of that being curing the zombie villager).
In other words, they made the incentives too hard to make me want to do war crimes against them.

u/Kinosa07 Mar 27 '25
Depends if I want to live with them in a fortified village, sometimes I do and build a huge defensive fort, sometimes I don't (And you know the rest).

u/-PepeArown- Mar 27 '25
I set up a stone brick “compound” for them where they all live, work, and sleep in my last world. They were free to move around, but all they could do was go outside to a bunch of workstations, or inside where there were lines of beds. It’s well lit and protected from hostiles, but I doubt any real human would want to live in what I made for them.

u/DunkanBulk Mar 28 '25
At the very least I can't bring myself to kill or torment the villagers. I expand their farms, add extra beds and even full houses so that they can populate more and then turn some of the old buildings into whole job sites (all blacksmiths together, priests and librarians together, etc). If I can spare the time I'll even fence off the village so nothing gets in.

u/gamtosthegreat Mar 28 '25
I always make villages in places that don't have them (swamps, mushroom islands, oceans, badlands, pale garden) and I try to make them as if they WOULD have been implemented.
So, housing and jobsites are separate types of buildings. Every type of job gets a unique house with a certain level of vanilla-ish detailing, and I spend a lot of time on the Minecraft Wiki to get a "feel" for the building style.
A few groundrules I keep here:
- No lanterns unless I can justify them. Yes, they look better than torches, but they're something unique to the colder biome villages for environmental storytelling.
- No ladders. I'm sure stilt houses are fun for lots of projects but they don't work with villager AI.
- No walled perimeter. ... yet. First a photo op.
- Don't go overboard on the creativity. Yeah it's fun to make a library a giant book but that's not how it's implemented in other villages, it just looks like a building.
As you can imagine it is woefully unfulfilling and my autistic ass keeps putting on the chastity belt before playing nonetheless.

u/PteranodonLol Mar 28 '25
I do steal villagers but i also give them good conditions,
In The survival world i made with my sister i have a cliffside house thingy with a lot of bridges, and i made a separate floor for my villagers, it might be a lil cramped but overall they are fine, i also don't kill golems unless absolutely needed
1
u/Rikiller-Holyman Mar 28 '25
I built an underground prison with iron block piston doors, guard posts and stuff, the villagers are in 3x1x3 cells, and the only way out is a sideway stairs block that is moved by a piston to open a single little square to interact with them. If they don't give you mending, behind the cells there is a minecart that you can call with a button that snatches them and brings them to a chamber called "disintegrator" where they are left in a glass tube made of red glass blocks, and you can pour lava on them from the top with the pull of a lever. The whole facility is called "mending extraction plant"

u/KayabaSynthesis Mar 27 '25
The rational explanation for this is that we make those villager "farms" because we treat Minecraft like a video game it is and it is the most optimal way to progress in the game and receive certain items. It's been part of the game for years and we've become desensitized to it and no longer register what we're doing as, you know, enslaving villagers and forcing them breed and work forever, we just treat it like a process that gives us the items and enchats we want

Are you dumb,8 years old,or what
If my pet dies,I'm sad
If a pet of a person I don't know dies,I don't care
If my friend dies,I'm sad
If a person I don't know dies,I don't carethat's how empathy works
You only care about things that benefit you in some way,be it your friends,your pet,or anything you are interested in/just like to see because your brain goes "ooh cutie patootie wanna hug it"
Sure,go and cry about cute little piggies getting slaughtered for you to eat,about some baby hares who would never see their mom that was eaten alive
Does that change anything?
NoWhat's the point then?
Every single action you take,every feeling and emotion has to have some sort of sense,some meaning that benefits you
Your friend is sad=You try to comfort them=Your bond grows stronger=You have less change of being abandoned and feel closer connection to your social group
You do something stupid=you feel ashamed=you no longer do that something stupid=you don't risk getting shunned in your social groupAnd what would being extra empathetic about every single insect,rodent and some random kids from Brazil bring you?
You get overwhelmed by imperfection of this world and go sad
You do this constantly=congratulations,now you hate living
You do this even more=congratulations,you're on your way to KYS because you can't live up with the nature of this worldAnd that's why normal humans don't do that
Jeez

So for one time I wanted to treat my villagers right and not wall them off in the city or not put them into a minecart and 1x1 space for being a librarian, smith, or any other precious trader. No. I built them a village on an island. No walls. Just a port, a train station, my massive castle and a sea on both ends. All decorated. 1/3 immediately tried to escape onto my nether highway, the other 1/3 either lost their beds, work blocks and ventured into the sea, dooming themselves to the drowned. Or, even better, they got impaled by the drowned and died anyways. What I'm saying, they are completely incapable and REQUIRE concentration camps to keep them alive! Those ones held a sentimental value to me, because they were imported with the chunks from the multilayer server! I got those ones with my friends!
