Villager Recovery Center Completed

New Villager Recovery Center

Our new Villager Recovery Center is complete thanks to the help of BardRose, and our "treated" villagers have been transferred to their new homes.  Villagers seem quite content in their new sea-side community.  Many have formed deep connections, and we have witnessed several moments of outward love towards one another.  These events even brought about some new baby villagers!

Although the villagers seem to be doing quite well in their new abode, we did discover that those villagers with farming aptitudes were unable to utilize their skills.  Usually brown-coat villagers collect crops, especially wheat, and feed bread to the other villagers.  Unfortunately the gamerule that prevents mob griefing, most notably creeper explosions, prevents brown-coat villagers from collecting crops.  Although changing this gamerule would contribute to the growth of the village (i.e. increase villager population), I know we all would prefer the rule be kept in place to prevent any damage to our properties.

Inside the Bottom Floor of the Two-Story Building

One curious observation that we noticed about the villagers, is that they all love to gather at night on the bottom floor of the two-story building.  Occasionally, we will see a lone villager in one of the other single-story homes.  We are not sure why this is happening, other than they all may be enjoying the books provided by the small library.  We plan to add more libraries as well as other amenities (furnaces, etc.) to the other buildings to see if this is indeed is the cause.

Fantastic Trades!

We encourage all who visit the EVO MOOC server to trade with the villagers.  Many have some great trades, like the Tool Smith who offers a lovely Diamond Pickaxe with Unbreaking II, Silk Touch I and Efficiency II!  This is certain to make your mining expeditions more enjoyable. Trading with villagers will also give them some purpose, and in turn, encourage them to start families (i.e. increase their population).  I know everyone would enjoy seeing "little ones" running about!

EVO Minecraft Server: Zombie Villager Curing Center

It is with pleasure that we announce the establishment of the first Zombie Villager Curing Center on the EVO Minecraft MOOC Server.  Through the gracious contribution of BardRose, under whose home the center is located, we were able to secure an area to help those villagers afflicted with the horrible zombie virus.  We have established a beach-side entrance to the center outside of BardRose's home so that she will not be disturbed further by visitors traipsing through her lovely home.

We are also happy to announce that the first patient was successfully cured.  We first administered the appropriate medicine (Splash Potion of Weakness), and we followed that with the right nutrition (Golden Apple).  As you can see by the before and after pictures, our treatment was successful.  Our new patient is currently recovering in his small, but adequate room until our Recovery Village Center can be built and he can be transferred successfully.

Accommodation

Our new Weapon Smith has agreed to continue his business of trading coal to our citizens for emeralds, as he did before he was infected.  As you can see by the picture below, his emerald price is reasonable.  We hope members of the community will stop by and visit our new patient, and perhaps lend a hand in administering treatment to other infected villagers.  The rewards for participating are very rewarding (XP)!
