My planned solution to this problem, when I get back to working on my villager trading system, is to have a core breeding area, that infinitely breeds.

To explain a bit further, a Villager's AI considers 3 things when identifying what a house is: A door Covered blocks (I.e. blocks that do not have direct sky access) Uncovered blocks (I.e. blocks that do have direct sky access) Walls and floor really have nothing to do with it. Therefore, using this logic, a "village" really does not need to take up much space at all. This Video [this video] goes into more detail about everything t
