By understanding how the farmer operates, players can effectively manage their village and ensure a steady supply of food and other essential resources.
Understanding Farmer Villagers
Farmer villagers in Minecraft are non-player characters (NPCs) that can be found in villages and can be given the job of a farmer by placing a composter near them. These villagers will then plant and harvest crops on farmland, and can even replant and till soil to maintain the farm.
Farmer Villager Jobs and Responsibilities
To give a villager a farmer job, players must place a composter nearby, which will assign the farmer profession to the villager. The villager will then use seeds from their inventory to plant crops on farmland, and will harvest them when they are ready.
