Set Up a Custom Village for Guard Villagers

Basic Requirements

To create a village that Guard Villagers will defend, you need to establish the three core blocks:

• At least one bed — where villagers will sleep and claim the village
• At least one job block — such as a lectern, composter, or workstation
• At least one bell — the gathering point for your village

Place these blocks relatively close together in the same area.

Claiming the Village

Once your blocks are in place, lead or transport a villager to the area. The villager must interact with and claim the bed for the game to recognize it as an active village. You'll know it's claimed when the villager sleeps in it at night.

Activating Defense

With a claimed village established, Guard Villagers will automatically detect hostile mobs approaching. When enemies get close enough, nearby villagers will transform into guards and arm themselves to defend the area. If you've configured the mod to require a bell for activation, make sure your bell is functional and accessible to the villagers.

You can now expand your village with more beds, job blocks, and villagers as needed.
