Butcher House is a type of building found in villages across various biomes in both Java Edition and Bedrock Edition. It functions as the job site for the butcher villager, who uses a smoker as their job site block. The design of the house changes based on the biome, reflecting the local village style.
Only one of the Butcher House variants in savanna villages contains a loot chest. The chest may include raw meats such as beef, mutton, and porkchop, along with wheat, coal, or emeralds. These items are useful for early food supply and basic trading. Most of the chest contents are common, while emeralds are a rarer find.
Butcher houses typically include a smoker, one or more beds, and interior decorations like tables or shelves, depending on the biome. They are part of the random structure pool and may not appear in every village.
