Summary
- Minecraft villages are foundational to the game, offering loot, crafting stations, and ideas for building projects.
- A player shared their transformation of a Desert village into a city over six years, showcasing creativity and progress.
A Minecraft player has shared before and after images of their 6-year-old Desert biome city and the village it started as. Many Minecraft builders begin with the foundations of the villages scattered around a Seed, and this gamer completely transformed theirs.
Minecraft has gone through multiple transformative updates since even before it was officially released. Villages weren’t an aspect of the game during its test builds, but they were part of the game’s launch. Minecraft villages were an early transformation of the game that added Villagers, randomized loot in village chests, and easy access to helpful crafting stations, and played a pivotal role in speedrunning the game. Beyond the utility of villages, they also help creative players with an idea of what to build and where to begin. This player implemented a Desert village as the foundation of an incredible city and showed the progress they made over six years.

Minecraft’s New Ambient Desert and Badlands Sounds Should Be the Tip of the Iceberg
Mojang has been designing several new features for Minecraft’s biomes but it should consider adding more ambient sounds beyond arid habitats
Reddit user Narrow-Ad-4280 recently shared four images of their Minecraft world, showing the progress with before and after perspectives. The earlier images show a Desert village resembling Ancient Egypt, with three pyramids featuring a similar alignment to the ones in Giza, and a Sphinx perched atop a hillside. The aerial view shows that the Sand village is nestled between a Frozen Ocean full of Minecraft Ice blocks and a Savanna biome, with two small lakes, and a winding river. The later screenshots show a much larger city that expanded around the village, with a large sword structure, and a tall tower near some docks located along the southern edge. Finer details like an elongated Sphinx, a construction crane leading to a mine, and big forts with creative flags that were built along the river are shown from a first-person screenshot.
This Minecraft Player Created an Incredible Desert City
Establishing a base between biomes like this one provides access to lucrative resources, as each area features its own unique blocks. Builds like this can give new players an idea of what may be accomplished in Minecraft in six years. Narrow-Ad-4280 pointed out that their Desert village went from the Bronze Age to the Middle Age in their six-year journey. Some blocks used in this build include different types of wood and Cobblestone, Planks, Red Sand, Sandstone, Stone, Terracotta, and what could be dyed Wool or Concrete, which adds more color to the Desert. In the Mine area, there’s also a rail network with Powered Rails that hints at the use of Minecraft‘s Redstone resource as well.
As Narrow-Ad-4280 shared their Seed with the community, players can replicate their build. Given that Mojang continues to update Minecraft, new blocks may be added that make these creations even more impressive than they already are.
Minecraft is a game made up of blocks, creatures, and community. You can survive the night or build a work of art – the choice is all yours. But if the thought of exploring a vast new world all on your own feels overwhelming, then fear not!
Minecraft has no set goal and can be played however you’d like! This is why it’s sometimes called a “sandbox game” – there are lots of things for you to do, and lots of ways that you can play. If you like being creative, then you can use the blocks to build things from your imagination. If you’re feeling brave, you can explore the world and face daring challenges. Blocks can be broken, crafted, placed to reshape the landscape, or used to build fantastical creations.
Creatures can be battled or befriended, depending on how you play. The world of Minecraft allows for epic adventures, quiet meditations, and everything in between. You can even share your creations with other players, or play in community worlds!
