  • Question How do you find a village? MRMinuteReal MRMinuteReal Community Answer You can use a map and just explore the world, make sure to bring a map if it gets dark and you don’t want to fight monsters.

  • Question Every time I kill a spider or an animal I get nothing! I need food. ILikeSlugs ILikeSlugs Community Answer Mob loot must be disabled. Go to world settings and click on "Entities Drop Loot" to turn it back on and the mobs should drop stuff. If they still don't drop anything, it is a bug and you can report it on bugs.mojang.com.
