To breed villagers in Minecraft, follow these steps:
- Enclosed location: Lure two villagers to a certain enclosed location[1].
- Trap the villagers: Trap the two villagers close to each other by building a structure around them[1].
- Provide beds: Ensure there are enough beds for every villager, plus one extra bed for the baby villager[2]. For example, if you have two villagers, you need three beds.
- Give food: Collect and throw food in front of each villager until they have enough food in their inventory. They need at least 3 bread, 12 carrots, 12 potatoes, or 12 beetroots[1]. This will make them willing to breed.
- Willingness: Villagers will breed if they are willing, which is usually dependent on having enough food and shelter[1]. Trading with villagers can also increase their willingness to breed[3].
- Wait: Once you have provided food and shelter, the rest of the process is up to the villagers. If they are willing, they will breed and produce a baby villager[1].
- Growth: The baby villager will grow up in about half an hour[2].
These steps work for both Minecraft Java and Bedrock editions[1]. For Minecraft Java version 1.13 and earlier, the breeding capacity is determined by the number of doors rather than beds[4].
Remember to protect your villagers from zombies and other threats[4]. You can also automate the breeding process by creating gardens for villagers to harvest crops and place them in their inventory[5]. Read how to create an automatic villager breeder in Minecraft for more information.
