I believe the villager needs to access the top of the blast furnace. I had a similar design in my town, and when I moved the furnace out in the open, they could restock. This should be changed to accessing the front of it.

Please check if that's still an issue for you in the latest 1.14.4 stable release or the latest 1.15 development snapshot.

Yes this still exists in 1.15.2 and in the latest 1.16 snapshot.

I searched for Armourer instead of Armorer and now duplicated the bug... wow xD

I can confirm that this happens in 1.16.3. The villager can only gain the profession when the block above the blast furnace is broken.

This affects all types of villagers, and workstations that were placed by villagers. They pathfind to the highest accessible block aligned to the workstation's xz coordinates. I linked additional images and details in MC-202083

Can confirm for 20w51a.

This is an issue for the latest 1.16 release and snapshot 21w07a. Is the reporter still updating this page? If not, control should be transferred to someone else because this issue hasn't gone anywhere.
migrated
This is still a problem in snapshot 21w40a.

i did some additional testing in creative mode - for some reason, it's trying to pathfind to ... Above the block?
[media]when i break the block it's pathing to, it's able to claim the job block, too. how odd!
[media]as the bug report says, when you break the block above the job block, the villager has no trouble at all. but it seems like when there Is a block above it, the villager attempts to pathfind to the top of the block on top of the job block??
exhibit C: villager pathfinding to above the job block
[media]i have NO idea what could cause this kind of bug. but i've experimented with it! i hope this data helps 🙂
