Mesa (Badlands) Villages.

Seeing as how villages can generate in Desert biomes, it would make sense for Mesa biomes (or the Badlands if you prefer) to have a similar structure method to Desert villages.

Not to mention a Zombie Village variant to fit the theme of each village having its own "abandoned" counterpart (2% chance of generating).

    I would have to agree, there should be a slightly different building style for the village. The village is too red, even Mojang would agree. But good idea to add to the game.

    Personally, I believe these villages should be modeled after the ancient Native American dwellings of the Southwest, and should also have Terracotta incorporated into their designs.

    I feel that the Mesa Village should look like a stereotypical Western town, and the villagers should look like cowboys. This might fit better than a recolored Desert village. Still, good idea.

    To keep with the biome-specific 1.14 village styles, I would say making mesa villages resemble either anasazi Native American pueblo housing, or an old western town, or some interesting blend of Native American and old west frontier town.  And, as I have noticed in 1.14.3 villages, make the villager skins matching to the theme for this biome.  Perhaps they could also have dogs instead of cats.

    I think mesa biomes should have abandoned gold rush towns (since the mesa biome is where you find the most gold) with proper mine entrances.

    I like the idea of Mesa Villages but I think they should use Dark Oak like the mineshafts there and model them after Old Western towns. Think having a Saloon as one of the main buildings.

    I think I would be better as an old western town than a red sand village

    Dark wood gold rush ghost town would be ideal, especially if they were beside cliffs that contained Native American pueblo style houses.  The villagers should be retired miners, farmers, blacksmiths, weavers.

    I think it’d cool to have the Mesa village in the side of cliffs. That would make them a completely unique village style.

    I think that the red sand could be representative of the American south-west but it could also represent the red sands of the Namib desert in Namibia (a southern African country). villagers and house styles could also be based on African tribal nations.

    Maybe it would be more balanced if it had a higher chance of generating because the Badlands are already a rare biome.

    Maybe they could be inspired by Mexican villages or aztecs and could have colourful drapes.

    Maybe the could have bandits that are cowboy inspired pillager variants that attack Mesa villages and ride horses.

    The mesa biome is so uneventful, this could really help with sorting that problem

    I was talking about this and thought it could have a different build style like some sort of frontier town but I love the idea

    Yes this would be great! Everytime I go to a badlands biome, I just leave because there isn't much to do. This would make players more interested in the badlands biome.

    Amazing idea, I think that based on the current generation of badlands (high gold chance above usual level and increased mineshafts), this type of village could be centered around mining. Different build-types would also be great to boost interest in exploration.

    Imagine what that could open up in terms of opportunity for future updates: Pillager outlaws/varied pillager patrols? Mining villagers? Maybe possible higher society like the cities of the Fertile Crescent (the first cities of humans).

    A good and interesting concept though it would be better if there was more clay and original design involved though red sandstone definitely should be included.

    Maybe it could be like a cross between Savannah and desert villages.

    Have a western village in the mesa, with the overhang above the houses like a saloon

    Hmmm. Good idea but maybe the houses could look like the wild west with   A dark oak wood theme (like Mesa mine shafts)

    If you add the villages you should put them in the sides of moutains.

    one word "wild west" (actually that was 2) but just using sand stone is boring, cowboys would be more appealing, and this could introduce the banillager (bandit-illager)

    Maybe the Badlands don't need an entire village given they have mineshafts often....but a dedicated structure would be great in game. Perhaps an abandoned outpost with loot of course (like the desert temple).
    Just thinking out loud.
