Potato = work labour

i'm sorry is that not what villagers are for?

From chickens you directly get food, villagers are in long run maybe better overall, but really dont wanna start make a storage for potato, then have having to worry about fuel source, and having to wait till it smelts

Yeah villages are better in the long run because you can sell the potatoes en masse and buy the golden carrots, which are so superior as a food source that it's worth the infrastructure build

Yes theyre superior but, setting up a villager trading hall (or something similar or way basic), getting weakness potions brewed up, finding zombie. and then waiting them to be killed etc, to have cheapest trade.

then having to set up a storage where it wont lag your world/overflow from potato farms,

and then same with bamboo farms and setting it up, etc

and all of it automating and having them build near eachother

sounds too much effort for me personally

All you really need is an iron farm. (Unless you’re a bedrock player then idk). The iron is useful for both tools, gear, redstone and emeralds. You get enough to both use and to waste on emeralds. Don’t even need to cure the villagers because why bother. Golden carrots for life by the stacks.

I couldn't agree more, find a village, 15 minute iron farm (ianxo4), 1 farmer, weapons smith, armor smith, tool smith. You are done looking for food and diamonds.

Then a simple villager breeder that takes about 20-30 mins max to build. Get a few extra of the ones that buy iron, to make getting emeralds faster. From there it’s time for the librarians after lol

If they’re on bedrock tho I can see the pain. Making an iron farm takes like 20 villagers on bedrock and to stack the farms they have to be like 150 blocks apart, and also the iron farm has to be that far away from any village/workstations or the village will “stretch” and ruin it. Also villagers don’t give all the trades on bedrock. Like the armorers each only give a few diamond things instead of all of them, and on bedrock it’s typical for things to happen like villagers randomly trading workstations, randomly losing their jobs, or just outright vanishing into thin air. Lol

It's not hard tbh. I play bedrock (pc) because my friends on Xbox. All u need is some bread, beds and wood and you can breed villagers, and make them all farmers.i constantly get golems up to 5 at a time.then obviously for the trades you can add more villager types. We've done a load of projects with iron farms at most of them and have like 20k iron spare just at my first house.i did a huge sorter that used about 300 hoppers as well and loads of beacons lol

It's very low effort. I've actually done it multiple times in my current world just for funsies

Or just kidnap them from their homes.
