Hello everyone!
In my Creative world named Experimental World, I am experimenting with redstone, and as you already know by the title, villagers.
I am absolutely dazzled by their AI, especially since 1.8, where farmers will harvest full-grown crops and replant them, and even share their collected food. So I started out by building a lab of iron blocks and a row of doors along one wall. Nearby, I placed a small farm, and finally I spawned three villagers.
One of them was a farmer, to harvest the crops, and the other two bred and populated the "village." With these two villagers I learnt about villager DNA, how it travels to their offspring, and also about village population and its maximum. This was very fascinating. Then I watched the farmer as it harvested the wheat. That was simply amazing. I have yet to see a villager share its food with another villager.
I will be updating this blog as I move forward with experimenting with the villagers. I will expand the village and add more doors to add more population, and with some separate villagers I will build a maze and watch their AI as they escape from zombies using doors and hills. With that I will also be watching the zombies' pathfind AI, and when I post about that then it could help for zombie attacks at night, and how to escape when you're low on supplies.
I am also getting villagers on the main server that I play on (Chaos Craft/Chaos of Worlds), and I’m using zombie villagers and some weakness potions and golden apples to get the villagers. This is a more interesting approach to the villager AI, because I am in Survival. Naturally, I am not doing this alone— I am being joined in this project for emeralds by a good friend, ZentaArc. It is very interesting, and though I will not be doing any zombies vs. villagers things in Survival (because zombie villagers aren’t common, so the villagers are precious), I will be doing it in my Experimental World.
I hope that this blog helped you by telling you some things about the improved villager AI, and if it didn’t then don’t worry, I will be updating this blog soon to include the latest updates on the Survival server villager AI experience and the zombies vs. villagers maze results will be posted here (unfortunately I cannot do as video, as that is out of my range of ability).
Comment your opinion on this blog post or any suggestions below! Criticisim toward this blog post is also appreciated, so I can learn for other blog posts in the future.

Results of the Villager vs. Zombies! : by Thrush 02/22/2015 12:27:08 pmFeb 22nd, 2015
I am now able to use Minecraft again (thanks so much to xXFLIP_CHARTXx), and I got to work!!
I did 3 rounds of villagers vs. zombies, and the results were surprisingly different than the test-run results, which I did in 1.8.1.
Results:
Round 1: 3 Villagers and 3 zombies were spawned. The villagers led the zombies into areas that you couldn't get out of (basically a room with a pressure plate to get in but no pressure plate to get out). This was, I presume, just something wrong with the Zombie AI and not something with the Villager AI. 2/3 villagers survived.
Round 2: 4 Villagers and 4 Zombies were spawned. The zombies were so aggressive this time that they pushed each other off the island (despite the fences I put around the island). 1/4 villagers survived.
Round 3: 5 Villagers and 5 zombies were spawned. Again, the zombies pushed each other off the island. 3/5 villagers survived.
