How to find a village in Minecraft?

Villages spawn randomly in every Minecraft world, and it can take a little bit of work to find one. They are found in different biomes of the Minecraft world, and each village will appear differently and have different structures according to the biome in which they are present.

Biomes in which Villages spawn:

• Dessert
• Plains
• Sunflower plains (Bedrock Edition only)
• Savanna
• Taiga
• Taiga hills (Bedrock Edition only)
• Snowy taiga (Bedrock Edition only)
• Snowy taiga hills (Bedrock Edition only)
• Snowy tundra

In Creative Mode

It is fairly simple to find a village in Creative mode as players can take to the air and fly up in the clouds to look where a village is. Flying is one of the best and fastest ways to get around in Creative mode in Minecraft.

In Survival Mode

The best way to get some elevation and look for a village in the distance is by climbing a high point and looking into the distance. It helps if the player tweaks the Draw Distance in the Display Settings of Minecraft.

By increasing the draw distance, objects farther off the map will be visible to the player quite easily.

However, the easiest way to locate a village in Minecraft is by entering a line of code in the game's console. The console can be brought up by pressing the " ~ " on the keyboard. 'Type /locate village,' this will show the village's exact location and coordinates on the game screen so the player can navigate to it quite easily.
