Villagers get stuck holding food, even in bed

What is the problem being reported? Villagers will hold the item they want to trade, so that part is intended at least.

I was not able to reproduce this issue in 1.14.20. I held an emerald and a villager held out an item, but he put away his goods before laying down to sleep. Are you still seeing this issue in the most recent update?

I have experienced this, the issue is that the villagers regardless of what profession get stuck in the animation of offering food to other villagers, even after going to bed, which seems to prompt the bed-less villagers to continue to throw food at them.

Did you experience this in 1.14.30 or in a beta, and if so, which one?

I can confirm this for Win 10 edition and 1.14.3 hotfix.

I just got this bug!

Here is a video:

I was actually working on reproducing MCPE-47212, and ran into MCPE-32627. (You can also see MCPE-60331 going on here.) In the video, you can see that the villagers who are advertising carrots are trying to share them with the farmer. I did not see when they got stuck holding carrots. Since the "holding" animation does not normally play during food sharing, I would guess it was while trying to breed, as other comments attest. I doubt MCPE-32627 triggered this bug because of the picture shared by Wolff showing that this bug occurs with bread too. It could be that this bug triggers when a behavior like breeding or sharing gets interrupted by the villagers being pushed by other mobs. To my knowledge, this holding out food behavior is only supposed to occur to show trade interest, but one of the villagers holding out a carrot in my picture is a nitwit, so he should not even be able to access that behavior.

Got it again! This time with potatoes:

Observations:

• The Carrot Bois weren't carrot bois anymore after relog.

• This seems to happen to villagers when they are off-screen.

• The Carrot Bois slept holding their carrots. However, The Mega Spud Boi threw spuds to the nitwit all night long.

Also affects Nintendo Switch version  (farmer stuck holding bread)

I saw a farmer holding seeds while he was in a bed. If that counts. It was 1.17.2 on win 10. I'll let you know if I see it again on 1.17.10.

Thank you for your report!
After consideration, the issue is being closed as Won't Fix.

Please note that this is not the same as Working as Intended, as this bug report correctly describes behavior in the game that might not be the intended or desirable behavior, but it will not be fixed right now. Sometimes, this is because the issue reported is minor and/or impossible to change without large architectural changes to the code base.
