Villagers should have better pathfinding for Bedrock edition

In Bedrock Edition villagers are a bit more "dumber". They try to access their jobsite or bed through walls and get stuck in fence posts. They also take the weirdest possible route to their jobsite block or bed. I think their pathfinding should be the same as in Java Edition, maybe a bit better.

    Completely agree the pathfinding for villagers in bedrock is poor and seriously limits creativity, try creating a village that looks good but does not mess up pathfinding of the villagers

     

    i normally end up redesigning my village around poor villager AI

    So I've created this huge underground breeding room with 40 beds, and I've created 2 very easy to access entrances to this room on the surface. These entrances on opposite ends of the room, and yet basically all the villagers are just standing in the middle of the surface and between the entrances and not going into the room because they're pathfinding AI is absolute garbage. Mojang, PLEASE improve the villagers AI on Bedrock Edition for the console.

    I even tried making direct copies of the naturally generated houses and they still struggle (or fail) to enter them at night or to get to their jobs. I eventually gave up and had to knock out and entire wall for one villager to use his job block.

    The villager pathfinding in bedrock is horrible, I'm trying to build a vertical village tower, and they cannot pathfind through the floors for the life of them. Please mojang I'm begging you, it is a miracle these villagers live before we come to their village.

    Completely agree with this, I like to make towers to ocupy less space so my base isn't too wide, villagers and the concept of stairs are (apparently) totally incompatible. I tried with a simple one, only three floors and the roof with some space for farmer villagers and the bell, now they are looking to the roof in the floor bellow all the time just because they can't comprehend what stairs are.
    Definetelly a thing that should be fixed soon because it breakes the game expirience pretty much for the bad.

    Either fix the pathfinding, or stop villagers from choosing beds and workstations that are on the far side of the village, instead of the beds and stations that are right next to them. This is so incredibly painful to work with.

    Genuinely garbage pathfinding. So much so, you should just take away villager jobs. Just spawn them in and let them roam like a cow. There is 0 reasons I should lead a villager 100 blocks away from a workstation and have it run back to it. Even better, the villager didnt have anything. No bell, workstation, or bed to run to. Still ran right back to the same spot it shouldn't be in.

    Please do improve this. My game keeps crashing and freezing on Realms whenever I am in my village which has less than 40 villagers and no animal farms.
