Villagers regularly don't close their doors

When I rang the bell in a village, the villagers will go into a building. But when one entered or exited, they didn't close the door. In other cases, they just simply enter a building and leave the door open. As you can see, the first picture was a villager entering a house. The second picture was the villager completely in the house with the door opened. This happened to me a couple times already.

Can confirm this, they definitely leave their doors open more often than before 1.19.3 too, which may stem from issues relating to MC-257636

Yeah this bug is pretty annoying and is a safety concern for villagers.

In 23w04a. I've noticed this happens very often with doors positioned like this.

2026… Are bugs older than a year even get fixed these days… Updated report to 26.1.2 meanwhile villagers aren’t save anymore by something little like not closing the doors anymore. How can a basic element, yet not game breaking, been ignored so long as an important part of the games mechanic and lore. Hope future ‘updates’ to villagers aren creating more of these issues.

Or are we only playing with tiny mobs and spears? 😛

My poor Villagers. The Village Looks ugly bcs open doors steal the Vibe. At Night everyone genuinely dies. Ah, Mojang, Please 🥺

It’s sad, but I advice to add a pressure plate on the inside of a building. Since the majority of bugs end on a stack that’s older than 10 years, better find alternatives. 💩

It’s clear the chef doesn’t taste it’s own food if I translate that to Minecraft and this very very very obvious bug..

I don’t remember this bug back in 1.18.2 or other older versions. Gamebreaking. The copper golem never fails to close a door behind itself. Get to work.

Please edit your report to change the Affected Version to the version shown on the Minecraft title screen
