Minecraft wiki entry for Adventure_survival, associated text: The easiest way to find a village is to first find a savanna, desert, taiga, plains, snowy taiga‌[BE only], or snowy tundra biome, and look throughout the whole biome. There is a good chance that once you have found one of these biomes, a part of that biome will contain a village. If you've found a village that does not have a furnace or a house with a crafting table, take notes of the coordinates and search for another village. That way, you will at least have a place to stay safe for the night.
