# Villagers Villagers are significantly modified on Vanilla+. Villagers are limited per chunk to 4 unoptimized villagers and 24 optimized villagers. Any villagers exceeding these limits may despawn after a short period of time. You can optimize a villager by simply trading with it or by using a nametag named “Optimize” on the villager. This will not consume the nametag. When a villager is optimized, it only improves server performance and has no other gameplay effects. Villager trade restock times are unaffected. If you wish to un-optimize a villager, simply name it anything else. This will not consume the nametag. *** ## Villager Breeders Villager breeders are slightly modified on Vanilla+ due to the 6 villager per chunk limit, causing them to not be infinitely stack-able. It is suggested to move your villagers a chunk away from where they were originally bred, as this **sometimes** causes issues with breeders breaking. {% embed url="" %} The borders of the farmland do not have to be glass panes, they can be any solid block. {% endembed %} --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
