Remove Zombie Sieges.

For those who are unaware, Zombie Sieges are random events that occur at a 10% chance if a player is in a village of at least 20 villagers at midnight. 20 zombies are spawned at one point in a village and can wipe out the entire thing if left alone. Even if a village is walled off or lit up, it can still occur. This feature is exclusive to Java Edition.

With the Villager Trade Rebalance in the spotlight, I think it is a good time to remove Zombie Sieges for good. They were added alongside villages, and have just been forgotten since then, despite being a completely detrimental feature.

Building an entire well lit and walled off city only for it to be wiped out by a zombie siege is absolutely horrible and unacceptable game design. Zombie Sieges serve zero purpose in the game and MUST be addressed as soon as possible, as they are extremely frustrating and defeat the purpose of protecting your villagers.

  My brother and I haven't played for a couple years and were considering it.... until we remembered this. My mod list included one that makes it so mobs (besides sieges because game design....) only spawn in covered 0 light making it so even at night mobs can only spawn in caves, dark forests, under overhangs etc. The effect being that dark forests, jungles and caves are more dangerous than vanilla but open areas are generally safe but still the chance a creeper could be hiding in the one 0 light spot under some trees waiting for night.

  Our last world was almost perfect.... expect for sieges. And really.... the problem isn't having that mechanic as an option it's not being able to turn it off or easily circumvent it like EVERYTHING ELSE.

  Will not play this game again until that's the case. Middle finger Microsoft.
