I may actually go back to my Beta world now, if I don't have to worry about the villagers anymore I can get back to repairing the village and making it liveable. (Before I had to run away from the village at night, so I wouldn't lose anyone to creepers.) And I have enough iron for quite a few iron golems...hmm...
FYI, to anyone who wants to build iron golems from scratch: it takes 36 iron ingots (crafted into 4 iron blocks) and a pumpkin.
O_O oh wow, I just realized: if pumpkins are added to any Vechs maps, life will be an instant cinch. He always puts huge deposits of iron in one spot.

EDIT: 1.2.3 is out. DEFINITELY update it; otherwise skellies and zombies won't burn in sunlight. O_O
