About this project
What does Village Architect add?
Village Architect lets you create living, expanding Minecraft villages wherever you want.
Craft an Architect’s Drafting Table, place it near villagers, and villagers can take on the Architect profession. Architects evaluate what their settlement needs and construct authentic Minecraft village buildings using vanilla structure blueprints.
Village Architect currently supports all five natural vanilla village styles:
Plains • Desert • Savanna • Taiga • Snowy
Architects can construct housing, farms, profession buildings, meeting areas, temples, animal pens, and other appropriate vanilla structures while adapting to the surrounding terrain.
They can clear trees when building in forests, maintain village structures, connect useful areas with paths, and continue expanding as the population grows.
Designed for Survival
The Architect’s Drafting Table is intentionally inexpensive so a player can begin creating a settlement early in a world.
Craft it with three wooden slabs across the top and four sticks forming the legs.
Current Features
• Autonomous Architect villager profession
• Authentic vanilla village structures
• Plains, Desert, Savanna, Taiga, and Snowy village support
