[MC-141887] Villagers profession level does not update correctly

The bug

Trading with villagers does not update their profession level correctly.

This seems to be completely random, it can be stuck at any profession level.

How to reproduce

Summon an Armorer villager.

/summon minecraft:villager ~ ~1 ~ {VillagerData:{profession:"armorer","type":"plains"}}

Try to unlock his next profession level.
→ ❌ Around 1/3 of the time, it won't unlock it next profession level

they does, but it is just very, very slow process in this snapshot :/

Do your villagers have no artificial intelligence/AI?

Jack McKalling 2019-01-17T00:04:46Z

This often happens to me when I try to trade the last trade.

I would shift-click a whole stack out of it,
I would get about 4-7x trade produce out of it for a split second, and it then they all disappear back to just one successful trade
The trade would lock out, and reopening trade window doesn't cause the particles for willingness or new trade unlocks.

But it's not consistent, as I was able to get multiple other trades unlocked between various professions, including those that had locked trades at some point.

Confirmed for 19w03b

It happens in 19w03c as well

Jack McKalling 2019-01-19T16:46:12Z

Indeed confirmed for 19w03c

Ryan O'Neill 2019-01-21T04:20:57Z

Confirmed for 19w03c.
Traded 19 coal to the toolsmith. Got my emerald, but he didn't level up.
Tested it more with the farmer. It was only after trading wheat, carrots, potatoes, and two more wheat that I finally seen him level up to iron.

Please do not mark unreleased versions as affected.
You don't have access to them yet.

Jack McKalling 2019-01-24T16:43:02Z

Comfirmed for 19w04a - seems to be very slow instead of not at all, can't tell for sure.

The basic bits of trading also seem to be broken when trading while in creative mode. I Shift+click to trade everything, and I'd only get one shovel or one pick. Alternatively, I'd get all the products of the trade, but then be refunded a few or all of my exchange items for some reason. 19w04a. Not really sure that it belongs here, but found it while checking for this bug.

Igor Henrique da Costa dos Santos 2019-01-24T19:18:15Z

Still happening in 19w04a

I think it's not just taking longer to update, but it's not update at all, at least that's what is happening in my case.

Grigorii 2019-01-26T08:00:48Z

can be buy/sell have population the first subject seven times, he can to expand trade, then buy from a new trade with him 7 times and the most the first subject, too , 7 times, he should to expand trade further

RaptorMocha 2019-01-30T16:09:17Z

present in 19w05a

Jason Gambrell 2019-02-04T04:43:53Z

I just started a new game in 19w05a. The shepherd and armorer traded somewhat correctly. I was able to unlock new trades. The rest of the professions stayed at the first level. All of my villagers are not restocking as you trade with them like you use to. The shepherd is no longer buying white wool and I keep on buying shears to no avail.

Jack McKalling 2019-02-06T17:40:32Z

Confirmed for 19w06a

Melissa Jacoby 2019-02-07T00:41:21Z

Still a problem for 19w06a.

Confirmed for 19w07a

It just happens to unnaturally spawned villagers (using /summon , spawner , or spawn eggs).

Gabriel 2019-02-19T23:08:11Z

@unknown: No. It happens also on villager spawned from a villager breeder.

Samir Girdhar 2019-02-20T00:44:21Z

Yes, indeed. I'm playing in survival and have about a dozen or so villagers with all trades locked. Some are still at the lowest tier while others are locked at the highest tier. Definitely some kind of bugged out mechanic because (at least while selling items) it seems whenever I get a new red 'X', the visual response time seems super quick, I get the emerald for whatever I traded, and the item count in the trade box resets to the pre-trade amount when I remove the unsold items (returning my sold items to me).

NeunEinser 2019-02-21T15:45:16Z

@unknown Is it not? Looks to me like a catographer stuck on tier one.

RaptorMocha 2019-02-23T01:56:24Z

oh yeah that’s actually the bug, I thought they were talking about the red X.

Jason Gambrell 2019-02-26T15:09:08Z

I still get a lot villagers who will sell out of trades on their first tier of trading. They will be out of everything and never get new items. Others will trade and unlock new trades at ratios that were not the same in 1.13. I would have to buy everything just to get the next tier in trading. I was beginning to think Mojang was changing the trade system at first. Been kinda bummed out with the game because of the trade being broken. This is survival mode only.

ZeNico13 2019-02-27T18:24:29Z

Still in 19w09a

Samir Girdhar 2019-03-01T02:15:34Z

After reading online and watching some videos about the recent changes to bedrock, I'm starting think what we're seeing in these snapshots is a transitionary state towards new villager mechanics. Assuming of course that Mojang's intention is for approximately the same villager mechanics in java and bedrock (which does make sense to me.)

Jason Gambrell 2019-03-01T05:20:04Z

The trading is still listed as a bug; otherwise, it would be easy to fix as saying it is a new trading structure (which has not been announced.). I would have an extreme dislike for Minecraft if trading becomes less than it is in 1.13. I would say do away with trading if it become less useful than the 1.13 version. I do agree Bedrock and Java versions should be similar. When P.E. became Bedrock, a trading structure appeared , and the trading (Bedrock version) still seems to have the same trading leveling up structure as 1.13 Java version.

Jack McKalling 2019-03-13T17:30:38Z

The system for leveling up villagers changed completely in 19w11a.

I cannot tell whether or not this bug has now been fixed.

~~I can tell that I'm currently experiencing this on the latest release.~~

~~I do run a server on paperMC (which should be backwards compatible I believe with the regular server).~~

~~I have a villager stuck at journeyman (toolsmith) with a full XP bar.~~
~~I've tried logging all users from the game and restarting the server.~~

~~If wanted I could probably deliver my server files (playing on java version by the way).~~

Disregard my comment, it seems you need to trade 1 item of the newly added trades for the villager to level up.
