Introduction: How to Create a Family in Minecraft PE Using Addons

Minecraft Pocket Edition (PE) offers a rich sandbox experience, but one aspect it doesn't natively include is the ability to start and manage a family. Fortunately, with the power of addons, you can transform your Minecraft world into a place where you can find a partner, have children, and experience family life. This comprehensive guide will walk you through the process step-by-step, from selecting the right addons to building the perfect family home.

Step 1: Creating the Perfect Family Home

Before starting your family, you'll want to create a suitable home environment:

  1. Choose an ideal location near a village or in a peaceful biome.
  2. Build a family-friendly house with:
  3. Multiple bedrooms (for future children)
  4. A kitchen area with furnaces and smokers
  5. A living room with seating
  6. A garden or playground area
  7. Fencing for safety from hostile mobs
  8. Add family essentials:
  9. Beds for each family member
  10. Storage chests for family belongings
  11. Tables (using slabs or custom furniture addons)
  12. Decorative items like flower pots and paintings

Step 2: Finding a Partner

  1. Locate suitable villagers or NPCs added by the addon.
  2. Interact with them by tapping/right-clicking to see dialogue options.
  3. Build relationship through:
  4. Giving gifts (emeralds, food, flowers)
  5. Completing any quests or tasks they request
  6. Regular interactions over multiple Minecraft days
  7. Propose or initiate relationship status:
  8. Use special items like rings or flowers for proposals
  9. Others use dialogue options or command systems


Step 3: Having and Raising Children

Once you've established a partnership in the Family Life addon, you can expand your family:

  1. Set up your nursery:
  2. Craft and place a crib item in your home
  3. Place a bottle on a nearby table or shelf
  4. Create a small toy chest using a decorated chest block
  5. Initiate the family expansion process:
  6. Give your partner a special "Family Ring" item (crafted with gold and a diamond)
  7. Wait approximately 3-5 in-game days after giving the ring
  8. Look for the notification that announces a new family member is arriving
  9. Welcome your new child:
  10. Your child will appear in the crib you prepared
  11. Right-click/tap on the child to name them using the addon's interface
  12. The child will initially stay in the crib for 2 in-game days
  13. Raise your Family Life child:
  14. Feed them milk bottles at least once per in-game day
  15. Interact with them regularly (tap/right-click) to build their happiness meter
  16. Give them toys from the toy chest to improve their development
  17. Children will grow through different stages automatically every 7 in-game days
  18. Protect them from any dangers as the addon makes children vulnerable to mob attacks
