Blacksmiths are extremely useful villagers in Minecraft, with chests in their houses that contain a number of valuable resources. Players can find pieces of high-tier armor, weapons, diamonds, tools, and other valuable resources from a blacksmith’s chest.

The mob's house is considered to be a fortunate find when a player is playing survival mode, especially if they are attempting a speedrun. Encountering a blacksmith early on in a playthrough can be extremely beneficial as far as progression is concerned.

Building a blacksmith house can also come in handy when a player is unable to find a naturally occurring blacksmith in their world. Players can build their own blacksmith house (or village, for that matter) and spawn, kidnap, or breed a blacksmith for their house.

Take two fences and place them in the corner that is on the opposite side of the back wall. This will serve as the house’s entrance. Place some stairs at the entrance to bridge the gap between the ground and the floor of the house.

Fill the roof with cobblestone (replicating the house shown in the image above requires cobblestone) and place stone slabs on the perimeter of the roof to complete the build.

Villagers are one of the game’s most loved aspects. One of the many pastimes of players is to try to imitate how the villagers talk in the game. Each of these mobs has a chance to take up a specific profession in a village. As of Minecraft version 1.18, there are 15 different villager professions in the game.
