How To Breed Villagers in 1.20! ▫ Minecraft Survival Guide S3 ▫ Tutorial Let's Play [Ep.19]

The Minecraft Survival Guide Season 3 continues in Minecraft 1.20!
This tutorial will teach you how to encourage villagers to breed, and explain which workstation blocks correspond to which villager professions!

First, we make good use of the Mending books we've been trading from our local librarian in the Igloo basement. Then we head back to the Savanna village we learned to defend in the last episode. We look at villager breeding mechanics, and how beds and food play a vital role in expanding a village's population.

We also keep an eye on the iron golems spawning around the village, craft some workstations we've never created before, and look at each villager's starting trades. We recruit one villager for every village profession - and the village even has a nitwit!

I'm so glad this series is back for a third season. I've been loving all the shenanigans on various servers Pix has gotten into, but the MCSG is always gonna be where my heart is.

Pix's intro "I hope you had a good day" set's the mood for the tutorial, it's great!

I'm already starting with the Bedrock tips!

It is actually totally possible to mend your tools with a mob farm, it's just slighty more annoying! Usually, what I do is put the tool I want to mend in the slot right next to the sword, use the sword to kill the mobs, generally one or two at a time, and because we don't gain experience instantly there is time to switch to the tool, wich I do. It will take more time though, especially if yhe tool is almost broken! Another solution is to simply attack the mobs with the tool you want to mend!
Or yes, as I saw someone say in the comments, use a trident killer, but it's not really something you do when starting the game!

As for the breeding mechanic, it's actually the same!

On the other hand, the nitwit situation is different, baby villagers can grow into nitwit villagers, though it's not common. And if you do have one, you can actually get them to become regular villagers! Villagers who don't have locked trades can change profession when being zombified, and for some reason, on Bedrock, this includes nitwits!

Another note is that trades offered varies between the 2 editions, but if you want a detail of it, it might be better to just check out the wiki!

Hope this helps!

Edit: Similarly to Java, you can mend armor when you wear it!

Just started playing again after 4 years. Good lord there's a lot of new stuff!!

[ggplayz]

8:54 additional note tho for bedrock players, baby villagers can be a nitwit when they grow. i noticed this cause i was making an iron farm and breeding villagers is quite a pain as some will grow as nitwit, and i needed employed villagers for the iron farm

[TheTallCurlyOne]

On the topic of mending without the offhand, the options you stated are good and very early game accessible, the best option for holding whatever you want and mending it, is a trident killer connected to any mob farm (an early game skelly grinder being an excellent option).

[BiggAlmilky]

In Bedrock, if you stand just far enough away from an XP farm to kill the mobs, the orbs will sit there just long enough for you to change weapon to say a pick axe and then walk forward to collect the XP.

i get so much comfort in watching this series, thank you so much for all your hardwork and dedication pix! ❤

Just so you know:
To repair our tools, we use trident killers. By using trident killers, all the kills that is done by the trident is automatic and counts as a player kill. So it drops experience. In almost all of our mob farm(any kind) we use trident killers for the killing. then we just hold our tools and it mends. Also if you dont have anything to mend, then we hold a looting 3 sword. Then the game applies looting 3 to all the kills and we get that kinda drops out of our farms.

So I’ve been playing Minecraft on and off for years. I have learnt SO much from this series. I’ll have to rewatch because there’s so much. I used to go in survival, build a basic house and really my goal was get all the ores and make a diamond armour set. I rarely got to that😂 but the endless things I have learnt and there’s so much to do in Minecraft I’m speechless! Thank you for this series. I’m really enjoying it. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[Flareontoast]

Personally I have a soft spot for Masons. I like going out to gather clay and getting rid of stone I get from mining. The clay ball trade is also really good for early game imo.

[MCPhssthpok]

We had someone on our server who wanted to collect villagers with all the different professions from all the different biomes. When it came to collecting the nitwits from the jungle and swamp biomes the only way to get them was to wait around in those biomes hoping for zombie nitwit villagers to spawn.

[Yeshanu]

On Bedrock, if you want to repair tools using mob dropped experience, hold the tool in an adjacent hand to your weapon, and switch to the tool after killing the mob but before the experience orbs reach you. Alternatively, if you're using a mob farm that requires one hit kills, you can also just use the tool to make that hit.

I love using all the villager trades or most since the fisherman gives out free buckets of water that you can either use for drip stone or Lava buckets for the Armorer

[gawf]

I'm sure you will address this in a future episode but one neat mechanic is that farmer villagers will harvest and replant crops. This means that they will provide food to the village for breeding without the need for player intervention. Carrots are the best to use as they do not have trash items when harvested (seeds, poisonous potatoes) which could fill up the villager's inventories. This is the basic mechanic seen in many popular villager breeder designs. Greet video as always Pix! Thank you and keep up the good work!

[eloquentornot]

Kind of cool that you moved to an alternate timeline halfway through the episode lol, but seriously I hope everything goes well with your computer repairs!

[MisterUnconcerned]

In Java you can repair a bow with the Infinity enchantment 3 or 4 times by using a plain bow. After that the XP cost is too much, and you'll have to craft a new one.

😆 🤣 😂 LOL "Unique curiosity and mild inconvenience" describes PERFECTLY a few of my coworkers! 😄

[jordanpendleton]

Been playing on bedrock for a few years. Once you get villager trading going, it's probably the best exp farm not just for the exp, but you have as large a variety of items to trade for as you have patients for. My setup has a few farmers for crop trading, then lots of librarians for all the enchanted books and paper trade(another easy auto farm). You can just go crazy after you get a flow of emeralds. Getting lots of clerics for lapis, redstone, glowstone and exp bottles is one of the best in my opinion. Lots to trade and you don't have to mine for those few things anymore, and its basically a double exp farm.(epx from trading and from bottles of exp)

Ngl, I just started opening minecraft again. And thought I should have a refresher course on playing it. And seeing your season 3 made me so happy. Thanks Pixlriffs.
