After further testing It appears that beds are required for villagers to take professions. I am not sure if this is intentional or if it is a bug so I will leave it open.
Villagers are also unable to restock their goods. This means that even when they have access to a work station they will not take a job or restock making me unable to level them in any way or complete trades after they initially run out of stock.
I would also like to clarify that while the platform listed on this ticket states "xbox one" this issue is occuring for me on the windows 10 version.
I also have this issue, I have spent the last several hours trying to track down various pillager waves in the mines only to lose everything I have due to being attacked and killed by vex that I can't find or deal with as they are located completely within the walls of caves. By the time I find a half the wave it will have restarted somehow I stopped counting waves after the 4th hour.
As mentioned in my post I've already tried two different versions of the drivers, a 2.0 and a 10.0 version to see if there was any difference
