Abandoned villages (also known as zombie villages) are a rare occurrence in Minecraft. These villages are completely run-down and empty, with all of the previous inhabitants turning into zombie villagers. One can assume that these villages were overrun by zombies, turning a once bustling city into a barren wasteland.
As seen in the image above, abandoned villages have obvious visual differences to the regular village. The first thing a player will notice are the obtrusive cobwebs that seem to cover every structure found in the village. This shows that these villages have been abandoned for a very long time.
Abandoned villages spawn exactly the same as regular villages in Minecraft. In fact, an abandoned village has a rare chance to take over the spawning of a regular village.
More specifically, in the Java Edition an abandoned village has a 2% chance to spawn in place of a regular village. This chance is significantly increased to 25%-30% in the Bedrock Edition. The reasons for this are unclear, however this can be a blessing or a curse depending on what the player is looking for.
Abandoned villages have some unique features not seen in the regular villages. These features are:
