 Description   

Villager Farmers will collect, plant and harvest Wheat and Beetroot, but they will not harvest Potatoes and Carrots when they're fully grown.

What I expected to happen:
If you give a villager farmer wheat seeds, he will pick up plant those seeds in nearby farmland. When the wheat is fully grown, he will harvest the wheat and replant the seeds.

What actually happened:
If you give the villager carrots or potatoes, he will pick them up and plant them in farmland, but he will not harvest them when they are fully grown.

Steps to Reproduce:

  • Place villager farmer in a pen with tilled soil
  • Throw stacks of Carrots or Potatoes to him
  • Observe the villager planting them
  • When the crops are fully grown, notice that the villager doesn't harvest them as he should

Upon closer inspection, it seems this issue works as intended, as a villager farmer will not harvest more crops when his inventory is already full of an item it classes as food. Apologies for the needless report.

Thanks for the info. I tested a bit more, and it seems that throwing one carrot to a farmer will allow it to plant and harvest a crop. The problem does seem to lie in the inventory of the villager.

Hey Mega_spud. Try just spawn a villager and not throw anything at him. This works for me. I think the real bug is that when a villager picks up an item your inventory fills completely . Example if you throw a stack of potatoes to a villager the 8 slots of your inventory will fill with 8 stacks of potatoes. (As you know the villagers do not harvest potatoes if he already has a lot of potatoes).
