Players can jump over fences when there's carpet on top of them, but mobs can't. I know that mob ai's only see "block" or "no block". This makes them see paths that they can't go and not see paths they can go many times, but in this case it could be fixed without changing the whole pathfinding system. Fences are probably set as "block and another block on top", because mobs can't go over it normally. My idea is to make fences be seen (for the mobs) as "block and another block on top, if the block on top isn't carpet or something like that". That would be an easy fix for this mob behaviour, the mobs would see the fence as block, but the block above as empty, so they would jump and be on the correct height to go over the carpet.

yes, that makes it a better report and sound less as a suggestion

Fail to see a bug here.
Fences are 1.5 blocks high so to make mobs jump over fences with carpet there needs to be an exception of the exception:
Mobs cannot jump on fences because too high
Is there a block on top of the fence mobs still cannot jump on top
Is that block a carpet, mobs can jump on top

Yes, that's exactly what I meant.

Then it's a feature request and not a bug. For feature suggestions or changes please see: Minecraft Suggestions on Reddit.

No, it's a bug, because the mobs could theoretically jump over the fence, but they don't do it, because they don't see the path.
well, you can't colide with pressure plates, so that's not as usefull, I suggest you change your wording a bit, as this almost sounds like a suggestion
