Replicating this issue seems to be pretty unreliable. Sometimes I really get the value increased, other times nothing happens at all. Weird, but still confirmed for 1.14.2.
Confirmed. The villagers also cause a huge amount of lag (the game only becomes playable after killing them (or letting them be killed by pillagers)); this update is really a bad joke, with abysmal performance regardless of the machine that the game is ran on.
