Summary
Exploration inMinecraftis often made all the more interesting by world generation glitches, with one such bug resulting in one player finding a desert village where they really wouldn’t expect to. Though it’s always strange to find naturally generated structures and entities in places where they’re not supposed to be, generation bugs like this tend to be more common than manyMinecraftfans might think and can lead to some seriously strange scenery under the right conditions.
Villages themselves, however, are particularlycommon to find acrossMinecraftworldsthese days. These naturally-generated structures, home to the iconic villager mobs, have seen a great deal of development over the past decade and a half. Today, villages serve primarily as centers of commerce and trade, where players can trade items with villagers of all kinds of professions in exchange for rare or powerful items and loot. Most important in this case, though, is the ability for villages to generate across all kinds of biomes, with the structures featuring different appearances depending on which biome they’re in.
This has been the case for most ofMinecraft’s long history, though many new types of villages have been added over the years, such as the tundra and spruce forest variants. Oddly enough, though, one player known as UnrelatedMule recently shared their discovery of a desert village that seemingly generated naturally in the middle of a plains biome - an environment where villages do frequently spawn, just ones that aren’t built entirely out of sand and sandstone. It’s far from the strangest quirk ever documented inMinecraft, and while these sorts of misplaced structures usually generate due to being on a biome border, this particular desert village doesn’t actually seem to be anywhere near the corresponding biome.
This Village in Minecraft Sticks Out Like a Sore Thumb
Interestingly, the villagers in the area also spawned with desert villager appearances, despite technically spawning in a plains biome. This would actually suggest that rather than a desert village appearing in a plains biome, the surrounding fieldlands have somehow incorrectly generated within what is technically the bounds of a desert biome, as the appearances of naturally-spawned villagers are strictly determined by which ofMinecraft’s biomesthe game identifies them as spawning in.
Minecraftplayers often leverage this game rule to spawn villagers with the swamp biome outfit by breeding them in the appropriate biome, as these villagers almost never appear naturally due to there being no swamp-specific village type. If this instance does represent a bug in which the wrong environment has generated within what the game considers to be a desert biome, it would certainly bea rare case inMinecraft- but, theoretically, it would also make it possible for players to discover structures such as desert temples and wells in the area, too.
