[MCPE-28359] Villagers won't pick up wheat/won't breed

Mod edit by @unknown

Summary:
Villagers in converted worlds from xbox one won't pick up any food supplied to them. Also newly created villagers (in bedrock using spawneggs) also don't pick up any food in a converted world.

Steps to reproduce:

Gamemode Creative on minecraft xbox one edition
Create a new superflat in MCCE (xbox one latest update CU49)
Place villagers in a confined space using a spawnegg
(or skip the previous steps by using the supplied receipt)
Transfer the world over to the bedrock version (1.2.5.12 is used for this test)
Supply wheat, carrots, potato's, beetroot to the villagers
Notice the villagers won't pick up any of the supplied food. When later collecting the food those samples resemble the exact sample that was supplied.

Attached screenshot and receipt:

Note:
The behavior was tested against a new world (bedrock) created in the same version and same device where villagers do pickup all food that is supplied to them. (using the "same" steps)

Original report:

Most current version of Better Together:

My villagers that transferred from my synced world wont pick up any items that they need for breeding. Examples would be wheat, carrots, potatos, and beetroot. Also, even after trading and gaining willingness, the villagers won't breed, and will not enter love mode.

It seems like the villagers themselves are bugged.

Have you tried trading with the villagers? I heard an anecdotal report that trading will push them over the edge to breed. I don't know if that's intended, but if it matters it would be a good thing to know.

Rocks 2017-10-26T22:32:49Z

Yes I said that in the description: "even after trading and gaining willingness, villagers won't breed."

Auldrick 2017-10-26T22:38:19Z

Oops! Sorry, thanks for the report!

Max Croucher 2017-10-27T04:03:48Z

Are the villagers near doors? they won't breed if there are more villagers than doors.

Rocks 2017-10-27T04:34:49Z

Yes, thank you Max Croucher. I have all the requirements for villager breeding (doors, roofs, etc.)

Thank you for your report!
However, this issue has been temporarily closed as Awaiting Response

This should be fixed in 1.2.6, but the world may need converting again from legacy console->Bedrock.

Please report back to confirm if this works, this ticket will automatically reopen when you reply.

Still not fixed

@unknown Could you confirm if you have tried converting the world again in the latest version please?

Rocks 2017-12-19T04:04:39Z

Ok, the world with the 'broken villagers' was already converted and transferred to a Realm. We have been playing on that world for months now. With your new update, my villagers still will not work. They wont pick up items they need, and they won't breed, which was the problem facing before.

I'm not sure if you want me to 'convert' the months old version, but that would rollback hundreds of HOURS of work and months of playing... I'm not sure if there is a way to 'convert' my current world that we are playing on. The villagers aren't working that is the best way I can explain it.

I am having the same issue and as Joe stated, converting the world again is not an option at this point after hundreds of hours.

I converted my world from XboxOne to bedrock as well, my village is now down to 2 villagers from 8 and I cannot get them to breed or take any food. This is despite the preponderance of doors and proper settings to promote breeding of villagers.

MICHAEL zarda 2018-05-16T12:05:34Z

My villagers will not breed either. Converted Xbox one world.

MICHAEL zarda 2018-05-23T05:53:05Z

On Xbox one bedrock beta 1.5.0.4 I converted a world from Xbox one console edition. Villagers act as normal but will not breed. I then created a new world on bedrock beta 1.5.0.4 and built a villager breeder which instantly began producing villagers. I then switched back to the freshly converted world and traveled far away and built the same breeder again but no breeding occurs. No love hearts no babies. No other villages around same conditions, not working.

I have to conclude that villager breeding is broken in converted world's even in the latest version of the game.

Sorry this is an ongoing issue. Just a couple of questions that might help pin down the issue more quickly:

If you create a new world on Xbox (Legacy edition), spawn in villagers, and convert that, will the villagers breed then? (Trying to figure out if it's worlds from a much earlier version that are not converting correctly)
If you spawn in new villagers in a converted world, are they able to breed? (Trying to figure out if only converted villagers are broken, or if it affects all villagers, including those newly spawned)

MICHAEL zarda 2018-05-23T16:49:39Z

Thank you for the response. I created a new world on the legacy edition, built up the breeder there and converted the world over. The villagers did breed this time without an issue.

In the world I'm having issues with I've tried to breed villagers that were converted over from the legacy edition, villagers that I found in a village in a newly generated part of the world and villagers spawned in with spawn eggs. None of them worked.

The bugged world was originally created on Xbox 360 imported to Xbox one legacy and synced to bedrock in beta 1.5 last month. It's old.

[Mojang] Mega_Spud (Jay) 2018-05-23T18:44:40Z

Ah ok, well lots of the world conversion issues have been fixed, but you will need to convert them over again using the latest version. This does mean undoing any progress made since you converted it, but it should iron out the issues.

I'd be very interested to hear if converting the bugged world again using the latest version resolves the issue for you.

MICHAEL zarda 2018-05-24T01:51:05Z

I've actually already tried to convert the world in the latest update but the issue was still there. I'll play around some more when I get time and update here if there's anything new.

[Mojang] Mega_Spud (Jay) 2018-05-24T20:58:39Z

@unknown - Can you also check that you have mob griefing enabled in the settings?

Rocks 2018-05-25T03:12:18Z

To be honest my fix was to just capture a few zombie villagers that were roaming around and start a new set of villagers.

I thought it would be hard but zombie villagers are fairly common and easy to find roaming around open areas at night.

I wouldn't fuss with the old villagers too much, bcz they're probably not going anywhere.

MICHAEL zarda 2018-05-29T13:59:46Z

Mob griefing was enabled. Problem seems to have fixed itself after leaving the console unplugged all weekend I came back to find things working just fine. I've changed nothing so I'm not sure what happened.
