Villager problem

[Mattias480]

Hi, why does every villager disappear, when i start living in their village? I'm currently in another village, I built a 3 block high wall around it quickly at daytime and lit up all area and houses inside and out. I even trapped some of them into small house by covering the entrance with dirt blocks, so they're out of danger. Next morning, all gone. It happens in every single village, i join. Thanks for answers.

It happened also before the update. I just haven't reported.

Well, if someone tried to block me into my own house and erect a wall around it, I would probably want to gtfo too.

Either they're despawning or mojang is being horrible at java as usual.

I say latter.

I know a few other people having the same problem, has it happened before any 1.7 updates?

The "zombie seiges" (When a ton of zombies spawn at once to attack the village) have different spawning rules. They happen whether or not the area is lit up, and could possibly spawn in the middle of the non-accessible area. I think it has something to do where the game code considers the "middle" of the village, but I'm not sure exactly. Try testing out different setups, maybe only putting villagers in a tiny area.

Siege my ass, it probably just spawns a dumb number of zombies and they just go from there.

If it were an actual siege it would have some form of organization.

Zombie sieges have stopped from starting since 1.4.7
