They still need their respective workstation type to reset most of their trades once you lock them through trading (currently (1.13. 2-pre3) there’s a bug that makes some pre-existing trades never to lock up) – but they won’t change their professions normally.
How far away can Villagers detect workstations?
Villagers will check and make sure their workstation is valid at all times of day as long as they are within 16 blocks of their workstation.
Why do villagers change workstations?
As memegamerr said, they switch workstations and beds cause they think they can reach it (path find to them). That’s why many trade rooms have individual cells.
What happens if you break a villagers workstation?
If you destroy the Workstation the link between it and the Villager is broken, and you risk a new Villager connecting instead (if any unemployed Villagers are nearby).
Can a villager lose job after trading?
The most common reason that your villager can’t change their profession is that you have traded with them already. For some odd reason, trading with a villager will permanently lock in their profession. Once you find one, you can then switch over their profession in the normal way without any hassle at all.
What happens to villagers if their work station is removed?
Villagers won’t always go to be unemployed if their work station is removed. They may be permanently stuck in their profession. NOTE: If a villager’s workstation is removed, the only way for them to revert back to unemployed/lose their memory of their workstation is for them to ACCESS, not just SEE, the square where their workstation used to be!
Why are my villagers not linking up to workstations?
I play on a realm and sometimes my villagers are not linking up to workstations. When 3 or more people are online my villagers stop linking up to beds or workstations. This report concerns villagers not linking at all to easily accessible POI (beds, workstations, bells), especially in multiplayer worlds.
How to make villagers of the same profession switch?
Build a village that crosses 2 chunks, A and B. (Or use Scrambletown.mcworld ) Seal off each chunk with fences/walls. In chunk A, spawn at least 1 villager and give it a bed and workstation. In chunk B, spawn several villagers and link them to beds and workstations in individual cells. Cycle day and night to confirm bed and workstation linkages.
Why did villagers in a new location not create a village?
In 1.14 villagers in the new location could not create a village because the POI query queue remained full from the villagers in the first village looking for new beds. In 1.16 the POI query queue only holds queries that are within range of the player.
