New world option - no 'crappy' villages

Except the worlds are randomly generated. So there are chances that a village will be only a well, even with your option.

Just don't get to invested into a world before exploring the surface to make sure it has what you want. Maybe even test the seed out in creative then switch to survival (without saving in creative).

I would say save up! None of the new arcade games are worth to get. All crappy games if you ask me! Gets boring quickly. A world of Keflings is the bst @ the moment I would say if you like to build a village.

When you create the world in the option menu need to have the building generate on (checked) for the Villagers to be in the world and the buildings.

They changed the villager AI drastically, its not a bug. Legacy worlds (pre-update) were hit pretty hard because of this update, as the update included new types of villagers and new roles for them they kind of broke down the old worlds. If you have the
world set on infinite, pack up and go find a new village and I could guarantee you all the new feature will be there and not broken right as rain. They don't go inside at night unless a zombie is actually in the area...and rain doesn't bother them anymore
on occasion. Its different from village to village in the test runs I did of it between the official update and the beta test.

Its not broken, I swear...its just "new." New can be hard to cope with sometimes.

Me and a buddy started a new world last night and I went exploring. Finally found a village right off the map. Full of villagers that I could trade with. Remember if you start a large world in this version it can be quite a way between things unlike the
360 version. I had no idea till I went looking.
