A new villager type "Settler" which can repopulate villages.

When a village who has all of the requirements to be considered a village; houses with doors, farms, and the bell, but is lacking in the villager department. A new type of villager will have the chance to spawn. Namely the "Settler" villager. They will spawn in a pair, but only when the player is around. Building a beacon within a village's vicinity will increase the likelihood of "settlers"

  Agreed!  Repopulating a slaughtered village isn't just difficult.  It's insanely difficult.  My two kids and I play mine craft on a LAN.  When the nephews visit and play, they inevitable get bored or ticked off, and eventually go around slaughtering the villagers to take out their frustration.  I can't even get my kids to HELP repopulate the village once their cousins leave because it's that boring and difficult.  If the developers are looking to expand and deepen the villager dynamic, then the issue of settlement expansion and repopulation (both player involved and NOT) is absolutely the top of my list.  Great idea for a new villager type.

  I'm surprised this doesn't have more votes. I had the bug of a disappearing village. (I was very careful around this village and they just up and disappeared.) I would love it if new villagers would spawn in it. And even if they could spawn in original villages that we built. That would be awesome.

  Leash on a villager would be nice. Or getting on a horse to be leashed.

  I love this idea. I’ve started fixing up the abandoned village in my recent world and connecting them all. It would be great if there were villagers in them all that could trade and such.

  One other feature for the Settle Villager would be that they would fix broken parts of the village, restore walls, farms, pathways.  Use multiple crafting blocks to get the necessary blocks, harvest tree and replant them, mine cobblestone and cut them with a stone cutter,

  I like the idea. However there should be extra requirements for making them appear, otherwise the settlers might start appearing in places where players don't want them to be.

  This would be fabulous one of my favorite parts of minecraft is building my own villages but often they are unpopulated because it's just too hard to get 2 villagers there!

  Excellent idea. I don’t know how, but after coming back from a mining trip I found that the village I lived nearby had no more villagers! I’m sure I didn’t kill them off, because I’ve only killed one, and by accident (was trying to shoot a cow)
