Dragon Quest Builders
Dragon Quest Builders is an action Mincraft-style game based on the Dragon Quest saga.
"The game is set in Alefgard, the world of the original Dragon Quest. The game is based on a parallel ending of Dragon Quest: before the final battle, the hero accepted the evil Dragonlord's suggestion - each rules a half of the world. But that's indeed a trap, and the hero was eliminated, then the world was dominated by monsters. With time passing by, a new hero (the player character) appears to revive the desolate world. Players gather "material" all over the world in order to rebuild the land of Alefgard from scratch."

About the villages:
- Village areas are marked by a different ground/grass colour and different background music.
- You can save your game on the flag on the center of the village.
- Any buildings outside this area will not be counted as village's housing thus it will not earn you points.
- Monsters from monster invasions will spawn about 5 to 10 blocks from this area, bear this in mind if you plan to build outside the village's area.
- For a building to be counted as housing, they need: 2-blocks-high walls, a door and a source of light.
- Anything outside a building marked as housing will not be seen as a village property.
- Following the previous rule, for signs or wall props to be included in a building, they have to be placed inside the house, not outside.
- Crops and trees will only grow inside the village and it will happen when you sleep.
