what the villagers need is communism. The player is obviously an oppressive colonialist.

Back when I was still playing Minecraft like 2-3 years ago (fuck you Micro$oft for ruining that great game btw. but at least there is Minetest) I had a large potato farm where I had some villagers trapped and I let them do all the work.
Had an extra villager trapped on one edge of the farm with some fence and underneath that fence was a water stream. They would go up to that trapped villager to “share” the potatoes, but instead they hit the fence and landed in the water stream, which carried them to a hopper-based storage system. Was actually not too bad in terms of efficiency.
Though if you had too many workers on the farming area at the same time then they would just keep dropping the potatoes to other farmers, which can also cause them to become very unproductive, instead of trying to share them with the trapped villager.
this is how half of the US economy functioned until 1865
Minecraft use entertainment incentive to encourage production of new games which, by itself, contradicts the Liberal doctrine that monetary incentive (which is greedy desire) is the sole incentive for labor and innovation.

In our worlds I like to build a great wall around the nearest village.
With my dad we had a modded world and there I decided to build a wall 128 blocks radius around our base area. And since the wall aligned with the village I included it. And torches in the place.
There was a mod for the old games where it would spawn villages with quests and dialog of various ethnicities and you could go their and trade and level up your language and rep with the people’s and either incite war between them or broker peace. It was neat.
I always tried to keep peace between the various villages and would trade the stuff they needed to upgrade their village to max.
