      Problem: In our village (SMP), we have the necessary requirements for the villagers to breed. Crops, houses, beds, etc. But the issue is, is that the villagers will continue to breed, past the total bed amount. We have around 17 villagers, and only about 13 beds. I had a theory that the breeding mechanics were still using the old algorithm as well, and counted up the doors and beds, which the total came out to be 22. So I'm not sure what the issue is, maybe someone else can provide some insight for us.

       

      Steps to Reproduce: I'm not really sure. The way we ended up where we were, was by ransacking the village of beds and job sites (Furnaces, composters, etc.) and then left. Quite a lot of in game days later, I went back to put beds down, make job sites, and fence the area in. I found a few of the old villagers running around, and brought them back into the village, and after the breeding criteria was met, they started doing their thing. But now the village is overpopulated, and not everyone has a place to sleep. It's becoming a major problem, and we're not sure what to do, besides killing a few off, but since they'll just make more, it's not really an option. We want them to have a place to stay, as to not endanger them, but we cant without more beds, which leads to more villagers.

       

      I'm sorry for the lengthy story here, but I hope it helps to find a solution. If you have questions, please leave them in the comments, and I'll try to answer
