How to spawn villagers in Minecraft survival mode using chat
The first thing you need to do to spawn Minecraft villagers in survival is to make sure you’re playing on a server with cheats enabled. When creating the world, make sure to change the Allow Cheats option to ON. This will allow you to use chat commands in survival and creative mode.
Once you’re on a survival Minecraft server with cheats enabled, it’s time to spawn in some villagers. Open up chat and type in the following command:
/summon villager
This will immediately spawn an unemployed villager at your exact location. The way that it spawns will make you look at the inside of its face, so beware of the jump scare before entering the command. This method of spawning Minecraft villagers works in both survival and creative mode.
Unemployed villagers are fairly useless, but they can be easily converted into any job you need by spawning the desired job block. Check out our guide to every Minecraft villager job to learn how to change jobs and what each profession can be used for.
If players enable cheats via their worlds settings or by opening the world to LAN, they can enter a specific command in their chat console to spawn villagers at a given location.
This commands syntax differs depending on whether players are playing on Minecraft: Java Edition or Bedrock Edition. Fortunately, the syntax is relatively simple for both.
This includes trading, which means players in a particular bind can summon villagers on the spot and trade with them if they so choose. By removing the constraints of a village, players who summon villagers can allow for a greater measure of freedom in trading or simply interacting with villagers in general.
Spawning a villager is quite easy once players have their cheats enabled. With a few presses of a keyboard, players can spawn a villager, even outside of a village if they so choose. Unlike bred villagers, theres no requirements for beds or food items. Players simply need to punch the text command into their chat.
For example, players can enter a chat command such as /summon villager ~ ~ ~ {VillagerData:{profession:farmer,level:2,type:plains}} which will spawn a villager with no set coordinates as a farmer at the second level of its profession. The villager will also be a plains villager as opposed to its counterparts such as desert or jungle villagers.
Returning home[]
All villagers head home a short time before sunset. They roam around until they get near their beds, then target a block beside the bed. Once they reach their beds, they do not go through a door again before sleeping.
A villager who has no bed simply waits inside a house until morning. This includes players stealing a villagers bed to sleep in, mostly the villager stays in the house and doesnt move until sunrise. But sometimes, if they detect a unclaimed bed nearby they walk out of the house and towards the bed.
