Fastest way to move villagers in Minecraft

Villagers in Minecraft are extremely important to you as a player, but moving them around can be a chore. This is particularly apparent when players try to build a villager trading hall, which requires moving villagers across great distances. However, worry not cause there are a few methods that can make this task less cumbersome.

Here are some of the fastest ways to move villagers in Minecraft.

Methods to quickly move Minecraft villagers

Rail system

In Minecraft, players can create a rail system with rails and minecarts. These systems can easily transfer either the player itself, a minecart with a chest, or any mob that fits in a minecart from one place to another.

Hence, players can create a rail system from a large village to their base since villagers can fit inside a minecart. If the entire system is built correctly, moving villagers becomes extremely easy.

However, one major con of this method is that it requires a lot of resources, particularly if the village is far from a base. Rails and minecarts use a lot of iron and Redstone dust, which can be expensive, especially in the early game.

However, if players set up this method successfully, this is essentially the fastest and easiest way to move villagers.

Rowing a boat with villagers on it

Many Minecrafters might argue that using a boat is a simpler method to move villagers from one place to another. Villagers and many other mobs can fit in a boat along with the player. Furthermore, there is a bizarre mechanic that allows players to row boats on land.

Combining these two mechanics makes it possible for players to capture villagers and move them. The aim is to push villagers inside the boat, then row it across the land until it hits a fairly large water body that can lead players back to their base. The tricky part of this method is that players cannot row their boats with villagers uphill or get them back to land once they are in the water.

In conclusion, there are a variety of techniques that can make moving villagers less taxing. Setting up a rail system to carry villagers can be extremely resource-heavy, but it is quite streamlined and easy once built. On the other hand, using boats is straightforward and efficient, albeit a little slower.
