*Summary by [~Auldrick]:*
This ticket is being used to track issues around crashes that occur while in or approaching the new villages and subsequent crashes when reloading the world. The tickets linked as duplicates have a variety of descriptions but all involve crashes at villages and we believe they have the same underlying cause.
In 1.11.0.4, the game sometimes crashes while a player is in a new village or is approaching one. This happens in both worlds created in 1.11.0.4 and worlds upgraded from earlier releases, and both with and without Experimental Gameplay enabled. The villages can be new V2 villages or V1 villages that the player has been manually upgrading for V2 villagers. There are some indications that certain workplace blocks may be involved, but this is not well established.
The bug appears to be triggered at random, because in some cases these villages have been visited multiple times prior to the game crashing. Once triggered, some worlds crash the game every time you attempt to load them, but there are also cases where you can reload the world after it crashes and it doesn't crash again until you return to the village.
I have attached test worlds. "Ad hoc bug testing 1.9" was last opened in 1.9. "Ad hoc bug testing 1.11.0.4 crashed" was imported from the 1.9 world, then opened and explored until the crash happened (with the player at about -1300,90,-450).
Steps to reproduce:
Import Ad hoc bug testing 1.9.mcworld into 1.11.0.4 Beta. You should spawn at world spawn, about (600,72,0).
Go to the command blocks and press the button on the center one, labeled "to village". This takes you to an old village whose villagers have been converted but no work as been done to upgrade the village.
Fly up to about Y=90, then fly east to about X=1307.
Sprint fly south to about Z=-350. You see a village ahead of you. You might crash as you get close, or you might not crash until after you pass over the village. If you don't crash by Z=-500, start over, as the bug is apparently triggered randomly.
If you can't get the bug to trigger, it might be worth trying on a device with less memory available or a less powerful graphics processor.
Original description:
Opening a world (from the same beta 11.0.0.4 version or any previous versions) will result on a crash. It'll show the usual loading world screen but it's just crashes once it's done loading.
Creating a new world will not result in a crash but after closing and trying to reopen that same world, the game will crash once again.
Reproducing the bug is really easy to do since all you have to do would be to try to open a world on Huawei Mate 10 (ALP-L09) EMUI 8 (Android 8)

After taking into consideration that something with villages is the cause of the crashes, I decided to test it.
Doing some quick tests in the seed "Chepo", I can confirm it has something to do with villages. I was able to generate a new world, actually load into the world, close the world and reopen it right at spawn (I didn't move from spawn).
I was able to reopen the world without problems but after going east about 200 blocks to the nearest village, I decided to look for fetching tables before closing and trying to reopen the world, found no fetching tables and it still resulted in a crash.
It's not the fetching table causing the crash but it has to do something with being in/near a village
After doing some more tests with the same seed/village. I have come to the conclusion that the grindstone is the one causing the crashes.
Generated the same seed, broke the cauldrons, closed the world and trying to reopen the same world resulted in a crash.
Tested the other work blocks that villagers use as well.
Doing the same thing but breaking the only grindstone in the village resulted in a success. I was able to reopen the world after breaking it.
Thanks very much!
In my own case it was a world I use to test bugs. I had opened it for testing many times, and had been to the village in 1.11.0.3, but when I got near it in 1.11.0.4 I noticed a "church" (village temple) was only half generated, and after a moment I crashed. Since then I can't open the world any more. But if I re-import it from the 1.9.0 backup it's fine as long as I stay away from that village. I have a different village I can visit without crashing.
Edit: After further experimentation, I don't believe it's related to a workplace block after all. I had crashed several times while flying in creative to one village. After re-importing the world I decided to try walking into it and it didn't crash. I spent the entire day standing near a blacksmith working at his grindstone, and it still didn't crash. I think the crash may be caused by a random event that happens while the game is loading chunks that contain a village, since all my crashes happened while I was flying toward it from different directions. Possibly the higher speed of flying means I got near the village before the game had time to finish loading the chunks and that caused the crash somehow.
Been studying for exams since those are coming up but I realized that what you said is right after some testing though I didn't have time to respond right away.
Some random events that occur in the village when in loading at different speeds does seem to be the cause of some of the crashes but I still have to say that the some of the workplace blocks have to something about it or are a different cause of crashes.
Like I said during in the conclusion of some of my tests,
"After doing some more tests with the same seed/village. I have come to the conclusion that the grindstone is the one causing the crashes.
Generated the same seed, broke the cauldrons, closed the world and trying to reopen the same world resulted in a crash.
Tested the other work blocks that villagers use as well.
Doing the same thing but breaking the only grindstone in the village resulted in a success. I was able to reopen the world after breaking it."
The only way I was able to reopen the world was by breaking the grindstone beforehand.
I'm 95% sure it's something to do with villager AI or inventory. Started getting crash on map load went in and wiped all the villager nbt data except there location. And map opens like a charm
This does appear to be fixed in the latest issue, and the attached test world no longer crashes after launching.
I'd suggest for any other crash related issues that a new ticket is created with an attached world save so the issue can be reproduced.
There are many similar reports coming in about crashes that start when approaching or inside a village. In one case a fletching table has been implicated as the cause. Often, the game crashes when trying to reload the world.
Were you able to open these worlds once, but crashed on later attempts? If so, were you in or near a village when you crashed?
