:backhand_index_pointing_down: How often does the issue occur? CHOSE ONE; DELETE THE REST !

  • Less than 25% of the time / matches I play (RARELY)

:play_button: REPRODUCTION STEPS

:backhand_index_pointing_down: List CLEAR and DETAILED STEPS we can take to reproduce the issue ourselves… Be descriptiv e!

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Task villagers to sheep

  2. Stack sheep on top of currently being harvested sheep

  3. DO NOT MOVE THE SHEEP - sheep that are moving are invisible to villagers (is that a bug too)

  4. Villager might go for the sheep many meters away, instead of the one in front of it

:play_button: EXPECTED RESULT

Villager eats the sheep in front of it

Did you try to reproduce this bug after disabling the TC mod you are using?

I have reproduced this bug (took many tries, its random, happens rarely) but with the TC mod (Dark Age TC, so I can see the villagers !)

Attached is another replay, minute 8, blue player, right side villager moves to left side on minute 8.

I am wondering if this relates to what I thought was a feature, but might be a bug, where villagers will ignore a sheep that is moving.

Before continuing to debug this, can you verify @Felizon89 that it is

a) a known bug

b) a feature

that villagers will ignore a walking herdable? I.e. if there is only one sheep near the villagers, and it is in motion, then they will ignore it.
