[@noname-codm4590]

I mean there are villager trading halls that rely on workstation path finding and they just fall on an open trapdoor. This is just for early gameplay or you just don’t want a fancy looking trading setup

[@travcollier]

It is very elegant. A lot of the overcomplicating comes from the olden days when a trading hall was much more difficult to make. Back when villagers were born with their professions and trades locked in, you really did need efficient ways to breed, sort, and dispose of massive numbers. Since the villager update, I've been pretty much doing a simple design where every villager is just standing in a 1x2 stall on a bed. There are a few tricks to be aware of, but it is so easy I haven't bothered with anything else... Except for adding some 3 villager mini-iron-farms into it. Honestly, keeping it on golems only spawning where you want is the biggest headache anyway.

[@bird5327]

I would suggest using scaffolding instead of the usual stairs for access to the trading hall itself, as this prevents villagers from occasionally entering the trading area and claiming a job without being trapped inside a hole. In addition, this makes a one-way door such that villagers who aren't supposed to fall down into a jobsite hole (such as baby villagers or farmers) can escape with some minor player interaction (breaking the jobsite and opening the trapdoor). Overall, this trading hall and breeding method is one of the best and by far, the simplest.

[@ianxofour]

Thanks for the comment!

You need to find jungle biome first tho for scaffolding

The amount of technical knowledge and ability to apply it in innovative designs is amazing. Little things like knowing the degree of the sun when villagers attempt certain activities or using a water bucket to raise the villager after zombification just show how many mechanics you understand.

[@christianankney]

Im addicted to using your techniques now, You are amazing at clearly explaining each process and tips for survival mode. Keep being awesome!

[@davidtaylor6124]

Thank you for making videos about your designs. They are awesomely simple and cheap to build. I imagine if someone wanted a real trading hall rather than a trench in the ground they could just build up stalls above ground that the villager could climb up and jump into. There is so much amazing stuff about this one but using the trap door to block other villagers and zombies (usually?) getting in, and allowing any workstation to be used for the luring and then swapped out is priceless. Lifting them with water was a sweet move that you didn't even comment on :)

[@dontoro1756]

This is incredible. Its so simplistic and your explanation, its masterful not only giving me full understanding of the project BUT A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING such that i can go and attempt things myself and try things out and tinker with ideas! this is what I have been searching for in the technical Minecraft community but its either a " do what i do" style of video or the filled to the brim with upper level terminology experience and concepts that i couldn't even begin to understand as a beginner let alone even explained properly but you are amazing thank you so much bro i had to let you know how i felt about your work quickest like favorite and subscription ever hopefully that may encourage you to continue!.

I've been obsessed with trading halls and zombie conversion ever since I started playing back in 1.14. This is so stupidly simple, and i mean that as a compliment.

Kid finally wanted to play survival with me. I'm glad I saved a couple of your vids to a long lost playlist so I could find you, again. A bit fast paced, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Perfect vid. You rock!

[@CosmiaNebula]

I found that if the trapdoor is still closed, I could not put a block over the villager's head. Then I opened the trapdoor, and found that if I close it again, the villager's feet remains standing on the job site block -- i.e. I cannot reroll the job site by destroying it, since the villager would immediately escape. So I put a stone slab just above the head instead. It protects the villager from hostile mobs, as well as prevents more villagers from falling in, as well as protects against lightning. Is that a good permanent measure?

[@ianxofour]

Hi Cosmia! Great observations and question. I do not recommend using top slabs over the villager because it allows trapped villager to socialize with other villagers that could otherwise be searching for an unclaimed job site in the trading hall. I recommend using a full block instead over the villager's head, as shown in the video, or any other block that will block the view (such as bottom slabs). You can raise the villager to be on top of the trapdoor again by using the water bucket trick at 5:52. Also, lightning affects anything within 4 blocks of distance (including below it) of where it strikes, so a protective roof over the trading hall should be at least that height. Let me know if you have any more questions.

[@CosmiaNebula]

@@ianxofour I decided to just use a lightning rod since I'm too lazy to make a roof. The Wiki states that the rod will attract all lightning "within an area of 32×4×32 blocks above a lightning rod".

[@RealestPirate]

Quality and insanely cool ideas that does not destroy the landscape too much

[@paularium]

I use this concept too when moving villagers in long distances. I just plop down a job site block to a fairly separated villager, wait till he adopts the job, break the job site, move a little, place down job site and repeat. The good thing about this method is the terrain height is not a big problem. As long as there's a way for them to get to the job site, they will follow you.

[@Estrallio]

thanks you so much, you are my favorite farm etc designer!

[@codymos967]

I'm just getting back into Minecraft since alpha so maybe I did something wrong (I know this video is a few updates old too), but I'm having two issues: 1. Zombies can still attack villagers who are in the holes. 2. Multiple villagers can fall down the same hole. Otherwise, cool tutorial. Best channel I've found for explaining some of the more complicated minecraft topics since I've gotten back into it. Thanks Ian!

[@ianxofour]

1) a recent update changed how mobs attack. 2) yes, but its also easy to release one, as shown near the end of the video. thx

[@bokwoon]

Dude after coming from your instant mob farm, I can say you have some galaxy-brain designs. Subscribed.

[@henne2k]

I made it one block deeper. When you put a trapdoor on the seeling infront of the villager, it wont fall out, you can see him fully and if you want to release him for some reason, no problem. reason f.E. zombifying. Just place a boat in front of the villager. lead a zombie into the hall. When he´s in the boat, realease the villager, by opening the trapdoor. Push F3 B for the hitboxes, so you can kill the zombie and not the villager after the zombification. Now you can heal him. Also, if you just lead a zombie into the hall it will zobify all villagers at once and you can save time. This is by far the coolest and easiest Design for a villager Farm. Thanks man!!!!! Love your stuff! greetings from Munich

[@Palleaon01]

This design is incredible in its simplistic model. I incorporated this into a proper village trade hall and it's so much easier to have a trade hall that can convert villagers at any time and also replace bad trades very easily. coupled with a villager breeder a proper trade hall can be set up and in full use within hours.. given my trade hall has 75 villagers in it

Just a note about this trading hall design, be carful about pillager patrols spawning near your villager setup, without blocks above the villagers in the holes, the pillagers have clear line of fire to shoot and kill and the villagers you worked so hard to get the trades right. I haved used this trading hall design for every new world i've made, and pillager patrols are the only weakness, (besides lightning ofc lol), i have lost a whole trading hall to this (upwards of about 40 diff villagers O_O), and it was totaly my fault, i stress that you cover up your villagers as soon as you lock in the trades you want, a slab works best
