Pocket Villager

Quickstart

1. In Creative mode, search for Pocket Villager Spawn Egg in the inventory.
2. Select the egg and use it on the ground to create a Pocket Villager.
3. Place the villager near a bed and, if you want a profession, an appropriate workstation.
4. Use the interact button on an adult with a profession to open its trading screen.
5. Protect it from hostile mobs and lightning, especially after nightfall.

Pocket Villagers can also appear naturally in village-tagged areas. They cannot be created with /summon.

Overview

Pocket Villager adds a tiny villager mob with familiar village behavior. It can wander, work, gather with other villagers, sleep, take a profession, trade, and react to threats.

Adults are scaled to one-eighth of normal size. Baby Pocket Villagers are smaller still.

What It Adds

• Pocket Villager, a miniature villager with 20 health points
• Pocket Villager Spawn Egg for Creative mode
• Villager professions and profession-based trading
• Village-style work, sleep, gathering, and social behavior
• Biome-based villager appearances
• Natural spawning in village-tagged areas
• A small chance to drop an emerald when killed by a player

How To Use

Interacting

Use the interact button while looking at a Pocket Villager.

• Professioned adults open a trading screen.
• Unskilled adults can be guided toward a profession with an available workstation.
• Nitwits do not offer profession trades.
• Use a name tag to give a Pocket Villager a custom name.

Because the mob is very small, aim carefully when interacting with it.

Professions

Pocket Villagers can have the following professions:

Place an unclaimed workstation near an unskilled adult and give it time to find the job site. Once employed, it follows that profession's work routine and uses its regular trade offers.

Trading

Interact with a professioned adult to trade. Trade progress is retained, and trades can be replenished while the villager works during the day.

Provide a bed and a reachable workstation so the Pocket Villager can maintain its daily routine and restock its trades.

Crafting And Obtaining

There are no Pocket Villager crafting recipes.

Creative Mode

The Pocket Villager Spawn Egg is available in the Creative inventory. Use it on the ground to spawn the mob.

Natural Spawning

Pocket Villagers can spawn in village-tagged areas when:

• They are on the surface.
• The spawn block is grass, dirt, sand, snow, or podzol.
• The brightness is between 9 and 15.
• The location is suitable for village population control.

Natural groups contain one or two Pocket Villagers. They can appear as babies or adults, with a variety of professions and appearances.

Abilities And Mechanics

Daily Routine

Pocket Villagers follow a village-style schedule:

• Adults work during the main part of the day.
• They gather and socialize around midday.
• They return home in the evening.
• They sleep at night.
• Children play during the day before returning home and sleeping.

Professioned villagers perform job-specific activities. For example, farmers can harvest and fertilize farmland, while librarians may inspect bookshelves.

Biome Appearances

The Pocket Villager's clothing and appearance can reflect its environment. Variants include:

• Plains
• Desert
• Jungle
• Savanna
• Snowy regions
• Swamp
• Taiga

Profession clothing and villager levels are also displayed on the mob.

Babies

A small portion of naturally spawned Pocket Villagers are babies. Babies use a child schedule, play during the day, and grow into adults after their growth period.

Hostile Transformations

Pocket Villagers retain dangerous villager transformations:

• A lightning strike turns one into a witch on any non-Peaceful difficulty.
• If a zombie or husk deals fatal damage, the Pocket Villager can become a zombie villager.
• On Normal difficulty, the zombie-villager transformation has a 50% chance.
• On Hard difficulty, the transformation is guaranteed.

Drops

When killed by a player, a Pocket Villager has a 5% chance to drop one emerald. It does not provide this drop for every death.

Progression And Strategy

• Start with an adult professioned Pocket Villager if you want immediate access to trades.
• Place beds and workstations in a protected enclosure so the mob can reach them safely.
• Use fences, walls, or covered paths to keep the tiny villager away from zombies, husks, and nighttime threats.
• Keep the area clear of lightning exposure if you want to preserve the villager.
• Give farmers access to farmland and composters so they can continue their work.
• Name important Pocket Villagers with name tags to make them easier to track.
• Build low, well-lit entrances and work areas: the villager is tiny, but it still follows normal village routines and needs accessible paths.
