Village Bands

Some Village Markets can form a Village Band from villagers in the area.

Band members

A band uses 3-5 members. Its membership and known songs are tracked with the market, allowing the group to preserve its identity between sessions.

Music and performances

Bands begin with a small repertoire of 3-5 songs drawn from supported Minecraft music discs. They choose songs for performances, consider recent history, and can favor certain tracks. Performances include short breaks between songs and interaction with nearby listeners.

Teaching a song

Use a supported music disc on a band member to teach the band that song. A previously known song is handled differently from a new addition. A newly taught song may become a temporary favorite for 3-7 in game days, while the band’s original favorite is kept for later.

Requests and controls

An audience can interact with an active performance, and the market commands offer information and test controls for forming bands, dissolving them, skipping a song, and advancing to another song.

See Commands for the administration commands and Plains Village Market for the band stage.
