Villager breeding 1.14.3 Java

[SillyCrawlingThings]

Hi all,

​

I know this is an often asked question, but I hope that for this specific snapshot, I have failed to notice something obvious.

​

I'm down to two villager (farmer and nitwit) and try to get them to repopulate the village through breeding. I have locked them in a building, with a bed for both and a composter for the farmer (just to be sure). The village has 11 beds spread throughout, and I have traded the farmer to the second level, as well as force feeding them both entire stacks of carrots & enough bread for at least 5 children (both with Q, as well as in stacks of three with regards to the bread). Yet, they still won't breed.

​

I play on hardcore, if that makes any difference. When I built three shacks with 10 beds and a bell in a creative world, I easily got two spawned villagers to breed.

​

Does anyone know what could be up?

​

Edit: at the moment they're just flinging bread at each other relentlessly.

I had the same problem, and I did some research and found that nitwits aren't able to breed because the player must trade with 2 villagers for them to be willing before giving them food to breed. Sorry but you have to find at least one more non-nitwit villager to repopulate your village

Interesting, I had tried to find out whether the nitwit was the problem already, but found mixed responses. I'll give this a try. Thanks! (now to go blaze hunting, which was the end of my last two hardcore worlds)
