word of advice for anyone making a village in bedrock edition, be careful when making a underground village because when you win a raid they celebrate with fire works and due to the low ceiling they all kill themselves with the fireworks, dont be as dumb as me

Who knew trapdoors were the secret to village defense!

I might actually incorporate trapdoors in my village wall to purposefully funnel the pillagers during a raid. Thanks for the idea!

One simple question I think still needs answering: how big can you make the village before the raiders start spawning within the walls ?

It's actually really nice how respectful you are towards the villagers. Its a nice change from the other youtubers.

10:53 Crazy thing is that according to the sunset, that actually is the North.

In medieval times most castles had a moat, most of us are familiar with the water filled moat but actually a lot of them where dry moats where very thorny plants and bushes where allowed or even encouraged to grow. Even when being a dry moat being lower in the land those moats usually where a bit muddy so the plants where green and thus hard to burn. Apart from being very uncomfortable things like chainmail really liked to get stuck in the bushes, and when people are firing arrows and crossbow bolts at you it’s gonna be a very bad time… In Minecraft you can re-create that with those berries that hurt. Mobs usually don’t want to cross them. Trapdoors also give you the opportunity to make a sort of drawbridge. In my castle i have a m*rderhole(yes that’s how they are called) above my doorway, and if something not nice is standing outside i can (apart from shooting at them or dropping things on them) just open up those trapdoors so mobs can’t approach the door or regret standing in front of my door. What surprises are underneath the trapdoor is up to you. When digging moats u usually end up with a lot of dirt so I really like to basically raise the land inside the castle(sort of like a Motte and Bailey castle) at a certain height mobs don’t even notice you anymore.

You only need one villager for a raid to spawn, so a bell isn't needed. However a bell still is nice to have since if you ring it you can see where nearby raid mobs are.

NGL, my first that was "the Raiders are gonna spawn underground! Oh noes!"😂 Personally, I think the trap doors is a stroke of genius, especially for those of us who don't like combat. Trap door, indeed! 😂 Brilliant work, sir!

What texture pack makes your villagers look like that? ?? I love it! Gives the game more life!

A part 2 would be neat, it would be awesome if u changed the walls and had a bigger raid. (Bigger raids are triggered if you kill more leaders, u can see the level by the bad omen level 1-5, if u get level 5 the raid will be much bigger.)

That design is absolutely gorgeous! Amazing work as always, Marloe!

I remember experiencing my first raid in a village. I'd only started playing a few days in and it was the very first village I'd visited. I only had stone weapons and it was a disaster!!! Died so many times but thankfully I had the idea of having a bed in the village cause I knew I was gonna die!!! 🤣 Great video even if it brought back some ptsd for me 😂🤣😂

The realistic moving of the raiders and villagers is awesome!

Not gonna lie this kinda looks like a clash of clans base 😂

I liked the small houses for the village and very detailed ❤

"now let's make sure these beds are nice and comfy.. oh yeah! oh! they're gonna love this." - Marlo out of context ❤

The build looks great. What's annoying about Minecraft is that it doesn't matter how big you build a wall as long as it's at least a block and a half tall. This makes raids super easy to cheese. Other games solve this problem by allowing enemies to destroy walls and player-built structures. Recently, I've been playing the game Valheim which also has raids. The enemies in these raids are able to destroy structures. Trolls are the most destructive early game. Of course, there are ways to cheese raids completely, but it still puts more stress on base defense. I think Minecraft can learn a lot from Valheim (and vice versa). IMO the perfect survival sandbox game would be a mash-up of both games. Valheim is a very fun game. Would love to see you try it out. I will say it doesn't have the same flexibility with building as Minecraft.

You should make the village larger, with a church, a blacksmith, and some other shops, it just seems small and without life.

You are great builder in Minecraft history

Those small houses are such a cute design!

Walls only need to be 3 high to stop pillagers. In fact, taller helps them hide from defenders. If you have a NPC mod like guards or companion then it's fun to make funnel patterns for kill zones.

Yes, he couldn't wait to move 🤣@3:05 so much enthusiasm it's astounding.

What a video! The replays shots, third person perspective and the commentry were perfect. Worth watching 😁

I'm in love with this village you built! It seems so cozy and comfortable to live in! Do you plan to make a tutorial on how to build/make a video showing it in more detail, make your world available for download or something like that? The style in which it was made can be used as heavy inspiration.

Loved the video @ItsMarloe! Can't wait for the next video man! I would've just Stuck to using Oak Planks instead of the Trapdoors since I was wondering wether or not that would actually happen (Pillagers getting stuck on the Trapdoors). I tend to make my Villages, Towns and Cities almost like Something from the Second World War. Roads that are about 7 Blocks Wide, Town Squares that are 23 Blocks by 23 Blocks, Water Fountains that are 5 Blocks by 5 Blocks and About 2 Blocks Tall, Brick Factories, Different Colored Houses, Train Stations, Tracks and Railway Yards and the Odd Set of Trench Lines, Gun Nests and Bunkers...... Yeah, Miniature Tabletop Wargamer turned Vanilla and Modded Minecrafter LMAO! Barbed Wire made with Nether Brick Fences, Cobwebs and either Cactus or Sweet Berry Bushes; Trench Lines made by Digging down 3 Blocks at best, Lining the Bottom with Dark Oak and Spruce Slabs and Campfires and the sides with Spruce Planks (3 Blocks wide) and a Ladder along the Top 2 Blocks all while Following the Contours of the World Generation. Recommended Mods for the Most Immersive Experience are.... • The Create Mod (Build up a Proper Infrastructure like Powerplants, Factories Ect.) • Valkyrien Skies, Valkyrien Skies: Eureka, Valkyrien Skies: Clockwork and Valkyrien Skies: Tournament Mods (Add Physics to Minecraft so that you can Build Ships, Aircraft, Tanks and other Vehicles and Equipment). • Recruit Villagers Mod (Updated to 1.20 Minecraft, Recruit Villagers to become your own Personal Army. Swordsman, Shieldsman, Spearman, Cavalry, Archers and Crossbowmen can be Hired from Job Site blocks purchased from Journeyman Level (Level 2 or Gold Badge) Fletchers, Armorers and Toolsmiths (I think, The guys with the Eye patch on them) and all you need is One Block and the Unemployed and/or Nitwit Villagers will keep coming to the Blocks. So even if one villager recruit has claimed the block, more recruits can also claim it and you don't have to worry about Buying a bunch of Them or the Recruits losing their jobs if the block is destroyed. They'll level up as they gain Experience, Use whatever you give them like Armor, Tools, Food and Potions even Totems of Undying. Caravans will have more Experienced Recruits as well as some Villagers with them and Pillagers have gotten a Slight Upgrade to not be too Overpowered by your Army. There's even a Function for when you're on a Multiplayer Server where you can Set up Teams similar to Factions, so if you wanted to Play "Hearts of Iron Ore" but you don't have Flans Mod since that's only now for 1.12.2 and 1.15.2 Minecraft, you can do this instead). • Simple Planes Mod (Updated to 1.20 Minecraft, Build Planes and Helicopters in Minecraft using Propellers and Planks. They'll take on the Texture of whatever wood type you use on them. Furnace Engines will use fuel like Coal or Charcoal while Electric Engines need to be Recharged using Forge Energy from supportive mods like Mechanism. Add Armor and Floats to your Planes and Helicopters to increase their Health and Allow for use on the water. Right click with Dispensers and give them Arrows, Firework Rockets or Fire Charges to Shoot. Add TNT Blocks to Drop from the Large Plane and Helicopters as well as Supply Chests and add extra Seats to hold up to 5 Passengers in the Large Plane. Parachutes are available and can be used when worn as armor like a chestplate). Villager Workers is under Development currently for 1.19 Minecraft while Create Big Cannons is still under Development in 1.12.2 Minecraft. Villager Workers is made by Talhanation (who also made Recruit Villagers and Small Ships) and is Similar to Recruit Villagers. Noxus has a video about this on his Channel if you want to check it out. Create Big Cannons allows the Players to built actual Cannons in Minecraft with the Create Mod. Since it's still in Development, there aren't any Crafting Recipes for most of what's in the mod. For every 3 Barrels you'll need a Single Powder Charge and the Shell does more Damage than a Bed in the Nether or the End. You can check it out on the Dev's (Beeg Yosh) own KZfaq Channel. Let me know what you think about this and I'll catch you in your next video man! Maybe we might get you see you trying out some of these Mods as well!

For another funny project, maybe try and transport villagers into a Pillager outpost, sort of make it into a village, and keep them alive as long as possible? Maybe they can spawn enough golems

Brilliant video! Thank you! Great commentary and I really enjoyed your style. 🎉

Love the builds! Would love to have a guide or just even a clear picture of each house!

clash of cla- *This is a Certified Clash of Clans Moment* .

"So first, we need a wall....... and the illagers are gonna pay for it!"

The little detail is always my favorite part to build on my builds, makes it "pop"

Just wanted to compliment you on how you set up your camera shots, it really sets you apart creating a unique style of minecraft video I only saw on your channel.

Just a wood fence a good distance from the village is all you need to keep the raid out. For the paranoid, a three tall wall is more than enough.

day 3 asking to make a tutorial of the village

love the music choice circa 2:58, really feels relaxing and compliments the "cozy" atmosphere of the village

its cool seeing the mobs with the fresh animations resourcepack

I have built all of your custom village houses! I was wondering shoud i build a defence, and you uploaded a video for it! Thank you so much!

Your a great builder. Love the village and castle like wall.

This is what i like . Simple video of yours are so calming.😊

This was really enjoyable!! You do great stuff! I subbed 😁 Would love to see more

Wow! love this video, and learning so much about it, thank you!

I absolutely love this I haven’t played Minecraft in awhile

In medieval times, cities had walls much like your raid-proof village. But they would be very thick and made of stone. You could try to break them down by flinging big rocks at them, get over them with siege towers, or use a battering ram to break down the gates. But when the cannon started rolling into battlefields, city walls were rendered useless as a cannonball could just punch through.

Mojang should do a kool update where the villagers defend themselves and or attack the pillagers with unique weapons and ride on the iron golems

Villagers need a self defense update. Every village i find dies after 3-4 nights of being in mob sim distance

Blacksmith: Oh no, not this guy again.

This story method was a lot of fun. I want to see more videos from you in this style

You were right about the compass directions - the sun rises in the East and sets in the West in Minecraft, so your gate is pointing North like you said guessed.

I would honestly love to see a city for a village with wood walls, something like a nomad village not fortress though I do doubt myself this will ever happen anytime soon sadly

Setting up a threat and then defeating it for heroism is literally what syndrome does in the incredibles 😂

Wow this is so nostalgic me and my friend used to play together and in our world and we built our own village just like this one to do raids in

I didn’t know that they could pick their jobs awesome

Best raid defense is to path-block every walkable grass surface, and place blocks to lock the villagers in their homes

this was helpful in the way of designing a type of raid farm! Raid farms the majority of players make are way too expensive and way to complicated. This one is the best and easiest! Thanks for confirming my idea for how to protect a village from raids without having to get involved if i dont wat to, and for confirming that this could verry well be a raid farm in itself CHEEP AND EASY should i choose to get involved.

You're already the second KZfaqr where I can see those more realistic movements of villagers and pillagers (arms, head, eyes etc.). Because I really like this modification, I would like to ask which mod or resource pack do I need to achieve the same in my worlds? :)

Just a little thing, but if you made the tower walls a little shorter, you could add snow golems as "archers". While they won't deal damage, they'll be good distractions while you clear the pillagers out.

If u ever do a raid in iron armour, just know that a bow and sheild are your best friends

I enjoy your build style, fitting lots of details in a smal area

That expressions data pack you have makes the Vindicators look more unhinged than normal.

The villager animations look so cool!

This video was simple and sweet I love it

"Man I wish there was a way to protect my villagers from raids." -chieftain Charles Castle, shortly before inventing Castles

I really really enjoy your camerawork for this!

It would actually be more protected if it was located on the highest point on the island. Fortresses are usually built high up. Also it’d be safer if the whole of the walls were made of stone because if they’re made of wood, the pillagers, vindicators and evokers can just burn it down. Also the main gate should be a bit more protected as the pillagers can see into the village and shoot into it.

One video and I already love your video and gameplay style. I’m sure to watch more!

Very simple & simply explained video. I'm really really satisfied

I love your comfy voice, Marlou😭

My son has taught me to build walls of trees side by side. I didn’t think it worked, but it does. They really grow anyway.

There's always next time. You can take out the trap doors and put in fence. And then you'll Have to guard the gate

Minecraft: Attack on Titan edition

Would you consider doing a wall tutorial? It looks dope and would love to incorporate something like it into my future builds/play through

3:01 that villager was like. oh here we go again, a player 5:40 those 2 villagers were definitely questioning what is going on and why we're they brought there

"First things first, we need a wall" my friend, luke the notable would be proud

Nice presentation man. Enjoyed it.👍

That villager he said to that they are willing to move was just like "NO- oh I dont got a choice do I...?"... he's been through a similar situation before XD

I enjoyed this video. Thats it i had fun. Thanks

I like to see you defend a village against the sculck horde mob, like this.

As soon as raids became available I became addicted to them. Silent was not even dreaming about making farms for them yet and I personally never used one, mainly because my brain is too lazy to dedicate itself to understand the mechanics and perform all the steps but also because I am too adventurous for my own sake so I needed the thrill. So yes, I made some stacks of emerald blocks on those pillagers back along with some double chests of totems and I wish saddles could be used at least for fuel, man... omG. I heavily relied on tipped arrows since I also just recently have discovered them and that in bedrock you could use 3 potions to make a whole stack of arrows by submerging them in a cauldron. The village was a Farm house of sorts that I kinda copied from Andyisyoda but I made it a lot larger and it was at the moment housing around 40 villagers so the amount of golems inside was good but the spawned mostly inside the walls, still a great aid if a wave of pillagers somehow spawned or managed to get inside. There was a river to the left where it was a lot easier to kill ravagers from bellow the water or simply from a far since they can not swim fast enough, the same actually goes for any pillager variant but specially ravagers and vindicators that are solely melee. The wall to the right was inside a desert biome though, so whenever they came from that side I used arrows or slowness level II and damage to kill them faster otherwise bad news for me. After each raid I started trading like crazy until I was out of resources such as paper, coal, strings, crops. Down the line I didn't have anywhere or anything to spend my emeralds on so I copied Avomance's sugar cane farm for a third time in that world and decorated the part behind the glass blocks with some emeralds. Nowadays, whenever I try to call and fight a raid it lags my game like crazy. Nothing works properly anymore. Same computer though, Idk what happened.

Lol the trapdoors were hilarious

Bro said "what do you wana cookie?" XD

Raids are my favorite part of minecraft, I love making villages just to have them raided.

We have built a very big one house contains all the useful villagers an covered it with very good looking walls. We had looting on sword and infinity on bow so we could use the looting bow! That was very easy to defend the villagers from top of the walls. We can get very good loots while having fun and not building a farm!

All my villages have been raidproof since no enemy has even gotten through. All I use are cobblestone walls.

The best way to defend of raid without losing any villagers is to simply wait till night so everyone will be at home,block their doors with blocks and that's it,the only way for them to die is evokers's vexes because they can fly through solid blocks like they don't even exist but it happens so rarely

I remember I tried to make one of these back when 1.14 dropped. The villagers would set of fire works in their houses and kill themselves. Luckily I did this in creative mode

It looks very good, simple and practical ❤ might be trying to replicate this build Nice work!

I enjoyed watching, and you earned my sub

I know it's currently impossible, but I hope one day you can get one of your Tektopia villages to fight off a raid. Maybe the ravine village.

Lava moats, iron doors, daylight sensors witha switch, piston powered moat bridges to get all the mobs into the moat. Sorted.

I’ve been looking for a video of someone doing exactly this!

You are such a comfort youtuber!

I wish that Minecraft had vanilla turrets that weren't strictly fgor under water. If they could make it so that the conduit could target hostile mobs in air blocks, that'd be amazing.

you can use a shield to block a ravager's charge, doing so will stun it for a few seconds, in the meantime hit it with an axe(try giving critical hits) which will give him a good amount of damage, but as soon as he gets up again run to make distance from him and keep repeating so until he is finished. Also, blocking a Ravager's charge will disable your shield for sometime.

Wow... That's camera's work is great

This guy is a amazing builder

Not only was this quality to watch, but now (having little knowledge of minecraft rn) ik u *CAN* have a raid in a custom village :D

I'll remember the trap door thing when making city walls in the future

This is the best village I've ever seen 😮

Gives me Attack On Titan vibes ❤
