How does it work?

Villagers can be strengthened by giving them some weapons. The list of acceptable weapons is as follows:

  •  Swords (Wooden/Stone/Iron/Golden/Diamond/Netherite[1.16 Beta!]. Attack Damage: 6 – 10)
  •  Axes (Wooden/Stone/Iron/Golden/Diamond/Netherite[1.16 Beta!]. Attack Damage: 5 – 9)
  •  Shovels (Wooden/Stone/Iron/Golden/Diamond/Netherite[1.16 Beta!]. Attack Damage: 3 – 7)
  •  Pickaxes (Wooden/Stone/Iron/Golden/Diamond/Netherite[1.16 Beta!]. Attack Damage: 4 – 8)
  •  Hoes (Wooden/Stone/Iron/Golden/Diamond/Netherite[1.16 Beta!]. Attack Damage: 2)
  •  Trident (They attack the same way as Drowneds. Attack Damage: 8 – 10)
  •  Bow (They attack the same way as Skeletons. Attack Damage: 1 – 4)
  •  Crossbow (They attack the same way as Pillagers. Attack Damage: 4)

To strengthen them, follow this:

  •  Windows 10: Hold one of the weapons listed above and right-click on the Villager to strengthen him.
  •  iOS / Android: Hold one of the weapons listed above and long press on the Villager or tap “Strengthen” button to strengthen him.

You can also strengthen Wandering Traders in the same way as Villagers.

You cannot strengthen Baby Villagers until they grow up.

After they are strengthened, they will no longer escaping from Zombies and Illagers, but will attack them instead.

They will also attack other monsters, except for Piglins and Hoglins.

If Creepers are about to explode, they will run away very quickly to prevent the explosion.

If a raid happens, they will not hide in the house, but will fight instead.

Please note that strengthened Villagers and strengthened Wandering Traders are neutral mobs. This means that if you hurt them, they will attack you. 

Strengthened Villagers will also protect Villagers who have not been strengthened. Since they protect Villagers in the same way as Iron Golems, if your popularity is too low, they will be hostile to you like Iron Golems until your popularity increases. Therefore, do not attack or kill Villagers or Iron Golems to prevent your popularity from decreasing. You should trade with Villagers, upgrade Villagers, help them defeat Raids, etc. to increase your popularity.

If they are injured, you can heal them by feeding. The list of acceptable foods is as follows:
