Villager Mechanic improvements (Bedrock Edition)

The Village and Pillage did wonders for spicing up the trading system and overall variety of Villagers, but I think it is time to take a step back and fix a couple of longstanding issues that remain. 

-Villager Pathfinding on Bedrock is pretty bad, I built a simple three story hotel for my villagers to stay at, and I found that villagers would often struggle to access the front entrance. This forced me to add another entrance at the side. Additionally, villagers have massive problems with verticality in general, not just using ladders and vines, but stairs as well. We need better Villager AI similar to how Allays were improved a couple years ago.

-A trading overhaul is sorely needed. After the nerf to zombie curing for discounts, I no longer find the struggle to infect/cure my villagers worth the frustration. This mechanic has become incredibly dated not only from the obvious cruelty concerns. Villagers who get attacked by zombies are guaranteed to die on easy mode, and have a 50 percent shot of dying on normal, rendering this mechanic functionally useless unless you play on hard. Villagers should reward long term trading with permanent discounts that operate on a gifting system. Specific villagers could request items relating to their current profession. Finding these items awards said discounts.

    I just going to use this thread as my part 2, consider allowing more characters into feedback posts as an additional suggestion!

    -Villager parity is still troublesome. Let us Bedrock players automatically trade all available materials with the Y button like how Java players can. For Armorer villagers specifically, why do Bedrock players have to get lucky with the type of diamond armor offered when Java players are guaranteed to see all four? And please I beg of you Mojang, add the mechanic of the bell highlighting pillagers during a raid. 

    -Dedicated Trade resetting button. I think we can collectively agree that breaking and replacing workstations for our Librarians over and over again for Mending books is pure drudgery. Why not just have the option to refresh untraded villagers with a menu button?

    -Player-only beds and workstations. I enjoy living in the same quarters as my villagers but they inevitably monopolize my beds and interfere with my workstations. I cannot keep a place for myself under these conditions. Please allow the ability to "lock" a particular bed or workstation (barrels come to mind specifically) so that villagers will never use them for sleep or as a potential workstation. the use of barrels for storage has become an impossibility for me because of this clumsy mechanic. 

    -Add the ability for villagers to remember their existing beds and workstations. Perhaps make it another toggle in their trading menu? It is a nightmare keeping track of bed assignments.
