Villages in Minecraft are naturally generated and are dependent on specific characteristics of the world's seed.

However, due to specific intricacies and quirks in the way Minecraft Pocket Edition was built, it becomes possible for players to actually clone a village at their own command through a few tricks.


How can players clone a village in Minecraft PE at their own command?

To start with, players will need to make sure that cheats are enabled in their world.

Cloning a new village with command blocks

In order to clone a village, players can simply use the "clone command." This is an inbuilt Minecraft command that essentially allows players to copy and paste certain parts of the world.

In order to use the clone command to spawn a new village, these steps can be followed:

  1. Find a naturally generated village to copy.
  2. Find the coordinate corners of each side of the village. This can be done with the command /spawn point.
  3. Get the coordinates of where the new village will spawn.
  4. Put all of these coordinates in a command block with the following syntax: "clone (corner 1 of villager coordinates) (corner 2 of village coordinates) (coordinates of new village spawn point)."
  5. Activate the command block with a simple lever.
