I posted a bug about librarian job stations and it was marked resolved stating it as the same as this report. So I came to read the comments here. I can add some details I have experienced that haven’t seem to have been mentioned here in the comments yet or original report.
I began to experience my librarians unlinking to their workstations after one of the recent updates on my Realms world. It was within the last couple of months so had to be 1.20.50 or 1.20.51. I did as I have done in the past when workstations got unlinked for some reason, I broke them all then placed them down one by one to see who would link. Once a workstation linked, I would break it and place it in front of the villager station for that librarian. I keep my librarian in minecarts in a little carved out space with a couple of vertically stacked chests next to them to store the books I buy from them.
But when I began to notice workstation linking issues this time around, I experienced a very odd phenomena. I would place a workstation, have it link, break it, place it in front of the villager and the villager would not link to it again. If I broke that workstation and placed it one block away, it would link but then of course wouldn’t have access to refresh trades. This occurred with about 2/3rds of my 19 librarians. No workstation linking issues have occurred with my clerics, farmers, blacksmiths, tool smiths, armorers or masons.
I decided to let my librarians run free so they could link and unlink however they needed to but keep refreshing trades with access to their station. I rebuilt the entrance to my hall so they would stay trapped and just this last week, they began disappearing. I now only have four of my 19 librarians left. There is no way for them to leave so they are disappearing or dying.
It is incredibly frustrating as I have many hours of work invested in these villagers and getting them set up for our Realms players and now I either have to re-do all that work or give up on villagers altogether.
I play mostly on iPadOS (most current publicly released version) and this world is specifically a Realm world. I can provide a download save of the world if need be and any other details that may help address this bug. Thank you for taking time to read this.
