Villagers don't walk/reach the workstation/bed to claim.

They only walk to workstations when claiming on java, but this is not the case with beds on java.

@unknown This is a parity issue and it meets the criteria (https://www.reddit.com/r/Mojira/comments/g9rjfh/from_now_on_well_accept_bug_reports_about_certain/), so definitely not a suggestion. Please reopen.

@bugsbugsbugs I am inclined to agree with Auldrick that this is not a valid parity issue. The change in Java is just a tweak to a feature that has worked differently in Java and Bedrock from before the Buzzy Bee update, so criterion #3 is not met. One could even argue that it isn't accurate to say that villagers "claim" workstations in Bedrock Edition at all (they are, instead, linked centrally by the village manager function) so criterion #1 is not met.

I apologize for not responding sooner. I don't recall having gotten a notification that you commented.

Personally, I subscribe to the paradigm of villagers "claiming" workstations, mainly because it's easier to explain that than to introduce people to the concept of the village manager, and also because I can't think of any practical difference between the two. My own reason for disqualifying this report is that in Bedrock, villagers have always been able to claim workstations without being anywhere near them, let alone without moving toward them. This has been true since the Village and Pillage update (well before Buzzy Bees), and therefore as GoldenHelmet points out, this request does not meet criterion #3 for parity-based reports.

@unknown: If you plan to resubmit this as a feature request, I would advise you to provide a more reasoned justification than that it's what a villager "should" do. I can see that the villager might be expected to do that if we assume they're looking for the best workstation available, but we don't really have insight into what they're thinking or how their workstation assignment process works. Perhaps the village meets periodically to assign professions and work sites, who knows? If you want to give Mojang an incentive to agree with you, I'd suggest you describe some way that requiring a villager to approach a workstation before claiming yields improvements to gameplay over the current system.

TL;DR: Mojang isn't going to spend time and effort fixing something that isn't broken just so that players aren't confronted with trivial differences in gameplay. Parity is about features, not mechanics.

But, the change that villagers walk to the workstation in java was made in 1.16 meaning, the parity issue was introduced in the nether update. This should be valid. Of course villagers didn't walk to it before, but they also didn't on java before 1.16.

How this is unconfirmed if there is clearly disparity with the Villagers behavior in Java Edition?
