Villages Need Serious Upgrades

Minecraft villages need an upgrade. We've gotten several updates to villages in the past, in 1.14. However, the last update to the structures (not counting Pillager-related structures or the adding, removing, and re-adding of abandoned villages) was a while ago, around 1.10. I am not asking for new village houses, I am asking for a complete redesigning of the village structures.

The design of village houses are very 2012, even with the addition of campfires, lanterns, bells, and other newer items, you simply can't hide the fact that the design of village houses hasn't changed much in the past now almost decade. I am going to list my ideas in a formal list.

Villages

Plains

The current overall theme is great. just make the buildings a bit bigger, with a bit of a more Tudor-style, and use diorite in the walls. Give the roofs a grander look, have windowsills, as well as chimneys. For the blacksmith, a 2-story house with the second story being a bit bigger than the first, with a slight overhang. The first story being a sort of garage made out of cobble. For the church, make it more of a cathedral.

Taiga

Same as plains, but with spruce wood

Desert

Keep it very similar to how it is now, but with the buildings a lot closer together, with narrow streets. Hang banner from fences stringing high up from wall to wall.

Jungle

Jungle log walls with lots of vines.

Coast

Just add some boats.

Conclusion

These are just my suggestions, but please consider them, as village structures need an update.

    These are all great ideas. I think villagers have a lot of money, so I think they deserve better houses (in-line with what is specified in the Plains, above.

    Savanna:

    • Armadillos could spawn in animal pens and butcher pens on structure generation in addition to regular livestock.
    • Savanna houses should have chances to find copper ingots, brushes, acacia logs and armadillo scutes.
    • All pottery sherds should very rarely be found in savanna mason houses.
