Hello everyone, I FINALLY got around to fixing a much heard issue; the material list. It has been updated using Litematica. For the Bedrock players out there; your villagers will need a bed to reset their trades (so I've heard). Bedrock villagers will recognize a bed as 'available' as long as they are four blocks above or below the block they're standing on. Therefore, you can put them in the ground or on top, out of sight. As @firegodessreiko mentioned, it is recommended to have one more bed inside than you have villagers if you don't want iron golems spawning inside. Hope you all are having a great day! Cheers, Nuvola.

[@Rasmouse.]

Is there a schematic download available? :o

[@nuvolamc]

World downloads of all builds are available to KZbin channel Members (which is something else than being subscribed to the channel). Check the description.

@@nuvolamc Will you make a video for the basement? I'm having trouble trying to make one 😅 Thanks for showing us this amazing video btw xd

[@soccerboss7924]

This video caught my eye because of my need to build a villager hall and also seeing the very aesthetic build in the thumbnail. Was happily surprised that the place I’m putting this hall, will be on a custom taiga terraformed mountain top along with my house with the exact color palette you made this with. I’m so happy to be enjoying Minecraft again :)

[@foxbean12]

Woah!! The more aesthetic approach to the hall is so charming, and I love the honey block trick to keep them in place. Fantastic build, thank you!!

[@gibsondibson]

This is not perfect, but it's much closer: - 70 spruce stairs - 67 spruce trapdoors - 16 spruce fence gate - 300 spruce slab - 230 stripped spruce log - 612 stripped oak logs/planks (mixed) - 48 oak fence - 16 oak trapdoors - 520 stripped dark oak logs - 565 dark oak slabs - 180 dark oak stairs - 2 dark oak doors - 190 dark oak trapdoors - 150 dark oak fence - 378 cobbled deep slate blocks - 228 deep slate tiled/brick slabs - 8 cobbled deep slate stairs - 2 mossy cobblestone walls - 140 glass blocks - 16 campfires - 1 lightning rod - 32 glowing item frames - 9 maps - 76 lanterns - 16 bookshelf - 4 chiseled bookshelf (or loom) - 12 haystacks - 2 pumpkins - 1 melon - 2 white wool - 12 red carpet (for librarians) Roughly (very) - 3 stacks oak leaves (192) - 64 honey block - carpet (your call/ however much it takes to make you pleased with the build) For the efficient way of trading (per room): - 11 sticky pistons - 11 redstone dust - 11 levers - 11 villagers - 1 zombie - 1 name tag - 11 chests - 14 spruce fences - 96 stripped spruce logs - 11 workstations - 11 item frames For the aesthetic way of trading (per room): Very difficult to tell you to be honest. Just ensure that you have about a stack of honey blocks to stick your villagers to the ground! (**He's right 😂 it's a lot of choice; here I would say you'll need some dark oak fence gates (I had enough fence, I think), the haystacks (listed), various items to denote area (some listed), the work stations, and if you're playing bedrock: beds for each villager +1 extra (put these under the build)) Alright! Now someone else get us closer 😂

[@gryph0n994]

With the stripped oak logs and planks, wdym “mixed”?

[@gibsondibson]

​@@gryph0n994- about 2:25 in, Nuvola says, ~"you can mix stripped oak wood with oak planks which is less resource intensive, and gives a bit more detail"; so, if you'd like, you may use 612 stripped oak logs (very resource intensive), 612 oak planks (considerably less resources to gather), or you may do a mix of both (i.e. 306 stripped oak logs, 306 oak planks) to create a more detailed texture for the walls.

[@LawlietxxLight]

loved watching this even without audio or subs thank you! great clean and beatific video!

[@wolvyreen3628]

I redesigned the lever system a little and got rid of the floating grind stones. Under the lever placement where you placed it, I simply dug down 2 blocks and placed the lever on the side of the block where you placed the redstone dust. This eliminates the need for redstone dust entirely. I then placed a plank or stripped block in the same place as where you placed the redstone dust so that the grind stones don't look like they're floating. I then just closed it up with a Spruce trapdoor. This design removes the ugly looking levers in the room and if you need to raise or lower the villager you just open the trapdoor in the floor and activate the lever and then close the trapdoor. Wonderful build though! I'm loving it! Thank you.

[@Witchaven]

Brilliant idea. It also means you can fit 2 villagers on the end walls instead of just one. Just for those two, you will need to put the levers where the redstone dust was, instead of on the side of the block.

[@ja.smooon]

Ill probably end up using this layout as a survival base lol. I love how this looks!

For all the Bedrock players howling about the lack of beds...... LITERALLY just hide them under the floors. Bedrock villagers will recognize a bed as 'available' as long as they are four blocks above or below the block they're standing on..... it's really THAT easy..... I also recommend having one more bed inside than you have villagers if you don't want iron golems spawning inside. Either that or spawn proof every available surface.

[@davidbubb6618]

That would be all two of them..... And they were hardly howling

[@firegodessreiko]

@@davidbubb6618 two out of twelve is a large enough percentage of people who don't feel like figuring it out for themselves to be noticable. It's called 'nipping a problem in the bud. Either take the advice don't. Your critique is hardly relevant to the point given....

[@Bowie_E]

I think we only need one bed for the leader of the village to link to in Bedrock. I always just stick it behind a wall or something

[@firegodessreiko]

@@Bowie_E I always have trouble if they don't each have their own. =/ You can break them after.....sometimes! It also prevents the 'village chief' from swapping to a villager that can't see the bed if you go in and out of the nether too many times, etc. I know that it worked pre 1.18....but it's a little iffy for me now if they don't each have one that they think they can reach. And, honestly, for a build like this, you could just incorporate them into the cells. It's not like you need them constantly awake for an iron farm or anything. He left it quite deliciously open ended. Definitely a 'decorate for your own needs' situation.

[@davidbubb6618]

You make a post about people “howling” and say that i use critique because i called you out on it. 2 people hardly constitutes a “for all the bedrock players” so yes. My point is relevant. Unlike yours

a good idea for the underneath floor would be a double dugar cane farm or some carrot farm

If you want to reduce the abundance of lanterns use the glow lichen as substitute and in areas the lanterns can't reach.

[@dresdyn100]

I have my iron trading villagers integrated into aesthetic iron farm, my farmers in my auto crop farm. After initial trades, I just use these guys as gem factories and for golden carrots mainly unless I die somewhere I can't recover. My new trading hall (this turorial) will hold every one else but the floor will be lower and trading space stacked 2 high. I normally end up with 20+ librarians (who doesn't want cheap lanterns and glass 😀 as well as the books), 10 masons (i really like quartz blocks and my bartering farm doesn't give me enough) some clerics and other blank spaces filled up with what I currently need. I have an auto-zombifier based on Eycraftmc's fed by Shulkercraft's auto-breeder crop farm all attatched to and extensive underground railway to where I need them to be rather than zombification taking up space in my trading hall.

Your dedication and effort in building the trading hall are truly remarkable. The attention to detail and planning that probably went into this build is evident and it shows in the final result. I would probably never come up with builds like this. Where do you get the ideas from? Do you just imagine something and try to build it? I am curious

[@nuvolamc]

First I think about the functional part, than I imagine (and/or google a bit) for a build to surround it which feels right.

Other than that you still did great and the build is awesome! 😁
