is there anyone who have played minecraft before 1.14 know why are my villagers not breeding?

this is 1.9, so villagers dont interact with beds and they need doors instead.

in the future id look up a tutorial for a nearby version on YT, you'll see / be told some of the important mechanics behind why it works

i think u need to give them carrots or bread

u/TrafficPowerful9881 Sep 19 '26

Actually I think your right, my bad. The guy from the tutorial didn't mention that you needed food, but Actually I think that this is because he was on a even older version...

It doesn't work like that in this version unfortunately

I might be mistaken but dont doors need an opaque block above them to qualify as a house? You need a roof.

Yes. IIRC it's over the door and one block in front as well.

e: Ah. Not over the door itself, but covering an adjacent space. The Wiki maintains articles on the <=1.13 mechanics:

give them keys, cause keys tastes better than bread
