Villagers are one of the oldest mobs in Minecraft. They were added to the game in beta 1.9 pre-release. During that time, villagers were temporarily called ‘TESTIFICATES’ as developers were still testing it. Since then, villagers have received many updates bringing improvements and tweaks to them.
In 2019, Minecraft received Village & Pillage update, which brought major improvements to villagers. After the 1.14 update, villagers became more valuable to players.
Villagers are commonly found in villages. They live here peacefully, minding their own business. During the night, iron golems protect them from zombies. Players should also try to protect the villagers because of their usefulness. Here’s how players can use villagers in Minecraft.
