Minecraft, Getting Villagers.

Minecraft, Getting Villagers

Dig a 2 deep hole like so about 5x5 should do. 

Now place a ladder on the higher grass block. The player can jump out but the zombie villagers AI means it doesn't realize it has to jump first.

Now i will go into survival and demonstrate this as i need to lure zombies.

The zombies will start attacking you and following you.

Now i have a zombie villager following me. This is what you need (Try and shoot a couple zombies before you get back to your hole)

Now jump in the hole wait a few seconds and then climb out. There will be a few zombies in the hole. Now kill the regular zombies and leave only 1 zombie villager.

Now you want to put a roof on it because otherwise it may burn or it will turn into a regular villager and a zombie will get it.

Now throw a splash potion of weakness at it and then right click it with a golden apple.

Now leave your villager for about 15 minutes. (Note: Do NOT leave the area before the villager converts otherwise the zombie will despawn and you will have to start over)

(The end product!)

So thats how to get a villager in minecraft. If you repeat this process twice and get 2 villagers you can get your own villager & or Iron farm (Heres how : http://thenextcraft.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/villiager-breeding-today-im-going-to.html ).

Minecraft, Villager Breeding

Villiager Breeding

Today im going to teach you how to make a villager and iron farm from just 2 villagers and some basic resources.

Okay first you must make a 12x12 2 high area. This area will house your villager farm.

Now place doors like this in the square. Now your farm is ready pretty simple hey.

Now to get 2 villagers for your farm. If you already have some don't worry but if you don't have some the easiest way is to get a zombie villager trapped in a pen.

Now throw a instant damage potion at them (It must be a splash potion.)

Then click the zombie with a golden apple. BAM 1 villager!

After getting your villager into the farm leave them to bread.

The farm will spawn in iron golems in the center.

When you kill an iron golem you get free iron!

If you put a concentric square in the first square you get the golems to spawn inside the smaller square. You can make a drop to kill them and make an iron farm.

Hope you enjoyed this tutorial.

Minecraft, Food And Farming 1

Food And Farming 1

Starving to death in your minecraft world? Need food? This is the place for you!

Today tutorial is on the very basics of Food and farming, i will teach you about wheat and cows.

Wheat!

You will need 3 basic things for growing wheat. A patch of dirt with water next to it, a hoe (the tool not anything else) and a some seeds. Seeds are gotten by breaking long grass which is found on the surface of any biome.

The crafting recipe for a hoe (Can be any material wood, cobblestone, iron, gold or diamond)

Then right click the dirt near the water and it will become tilled! When the tilled dirt is darker it is hydrated (Note: Crops grow faster on the darker tilled dirt.)

Now right click the tilled dirt with the seeds. This plants wheat which over time will grow and can be harvested when they're done.


Bone meal can be used to grow crops instantly, you must right click the crop with the bonemeal.

Using bone meal is extremely efficient as it can grow entire fields of wheat at a time and it can be automated using dispensers.


To harvest your wheat when its done just simply punch it and you will get wheat and 1-3 seeds back. This means with you excess seeds you can replant your fields and expand them.


You can make bread with wheat like this.


You can also make cookies! however they require cocoa beans.

Cows!

Once you have at least 2 wheat you can start cow farming. Cow farming is much more efficient than wheat farming as steak fills more hunger bars.

You will want to make a pen for your cows. For the walls of the pen you should use either Fences or cobblestone walls. You will also need to put 2 gates in to make it easy for your cows to get out.

Cows are attracted to you when you hold wheat in your hand, They will follow you meaning you can take them to your chosen place.

If you right click two cows with wheat they will breed this will rise your cow population over time and then you can kill them to get beef and leather.
