Is that not still an issue that should be resolved? Why should they be able to find a POI that they cannot pathfinder to? That just breaks things does it not?
I have been having this issue with a villager trading post I’m making. At the beginning I had about 3 villagers separated in 3x3x1 spaces with beds and work stations to keep them in their respective areas. I was re-rolling one villagers trades for about 30min with no issue. I could destroy and replace the work station and every time the villager would get a new trade like it should.
But later when I had brought in more villagers that I had been breeding and moving during the night, they now will not grab a job at all. I have tried placing work stations in front of all of them. I have tried working with only one villager at a time with no other untaken work stations placed. But they still do not grab a job for about 10min or more. This is extremely frustrating.
I have since tested the issue with 1, 2, 3 and 4 players in game On my multiplayer server it has been the same every time. There seems to be a related issue where villagers do not find their bed at night. I have multiple villages every night that will sleep for a tick and then wake up again. They will attempt to sleep like this a lot throughout the night. There are no monsters in sight either. They do not seem to move around much either. This movement issue has been causing issues with my iron farm. They will appear to be frozen in one spot for days, like they cannot decide where to go, because they do not find the work station or bed. Definitely looks like a POI and path finding issue
