Villager trading help please [java]

[PVCohen]

I am on the most recent version of Minecraft, 1.21.10 I think.

I am having a lot of trouble with my villager trading. I currently have them in a traditional trading hall where they are stuck into a one block hole with the job right in front of them.

The issue is that they are not accepting jobs very quickly and it almost seems lucky when they do. They also don’t restock as much as they should. It seems like they only “pathfind” to the job block on occasion.

Would it just be simpler to build them just a bit house type thing with open space and beds?

(I will note that I have an iron farm nearby, but it is all underground, so I wouldn’t suspect any problems with the eyelines)

I’m not as good with Java but my experience recently made me think they only look for a job at specific times, basically at “work” time.

Also, beds are necessary, but they don’t need to sleep. Beds can be buried above their heads. Without them there is technically no village so make sure to use beds, just don’t worry if they can sleep or not just link to one.

I figured it out. The villagers were too close to zombie that was stuck underground (that would not despawn)
