Build and Populate NPC Houses

House Requirements

NPCs need proper housing to move in. Each house requires a door, a bed, and a light source (torches or lanterns work). Make the room at least 3 blocks wide and tall enough to move through comfortably. Walls, floor, and roof are essential—NPCs won't occupy open-air structures.

Attracting NPCs

Once your house meets requirements, NPCs will gradually move in on their own. Different NPCs have preferences—some prefer certain biomes or proximity to specific blocks. The Guide typically arrives first. Check NPC happiness by talking to them; they'll indicate if they're content with their living situation.

Trading and Interaction

Each NPC type offers unique trades. The Merchant sells supplies, the Nurse provides healing, and others offer specialized items. Talk to NPCs regularly to access their shops. Keeping NPCs happy improves their prices and unlocks better trades. Place multiple NPCs near each other to create a village hub where you can efficiently gather resources and supplies.
