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
• Housing based on village population
• Farms scale with population
• Profession buildings and workstations
• Village meeting areas and bells
• Tree clearing for forest construction
• Terrain-aware building placement
• Building repair and construction recovery
• Villager-compatible path creation
• Animal pens and livestock
• 20-block construction reach for tall vanilla structures
• Multiplayer/server-compatible design

Village Architect is still actively being developed. This first public build focuses on consistently creating and maintaining vanilla-style settlements before more advanced town features are introduced.
