2. Provide Food

Keeping villagers close makes the breeding process faster.

  1. Give villagers bread, carrots, potatoes, or beetroots.
  2. Use at least 3 bread or 12 carrots or potatoes per villager.
  3. Throw food on the ground for them to pick up.

As your village expands, you can add style and lighting with candles. Learn how to get honeycomb in Minecraft to craft them and improve your builds.

3. Keep Villagers Together

Breeding only happens when villagers show heart particles.

  1. Build a small enclosed area or house.
  2. Place beds inside to encourage them to stay.
  3. Keep the area well lit to prevent hostile mobs.

As your village grows, keeping track of new houses and paths is easier with a map; here is a simple tutorial on how to make a map in Minecraft so you never lose sight of your expansion.

4. Wait for Hearts

  1. Look for hearts above villagers when they are ready.
  2. Make sure a spare bed is free for a baby villager.
  3. Watch for angry particles, which mean more food or beds are needed.

Once you have more villagers, you can expand into advanced materials like obsidian in Minecraft for portals and stronger builds.
