Villages

If you look carefully in the Meadow biome, you will sometimes find a village like the one below:

Inside this village, you will find a group of small buildings with gardens of vegetables. Villagers naturally spawn inside of these villagers and grow gardens of potatoes, carrots, and wheat. When you are running low on food, you can harvest their vegetables for yourself. You can also trade with villagers to get rare items.

TIP: Villagers in the Meadow biome currently have the same appearance as villagers from the Plains biome. Perhaps in a future release, they will have their own unique appearance.
