I don't know my version or loader
The Minecraft feedback discord states that "Villagers arent interested in being...enslaved." However, current mechanics in the game allow players to trap villagers in 1x1 cubicals for forced trading. To solve the issue, this pack adds needs that must be met before villagers will be willing to restock. Firstly, villagers are now required to sleep because its difficult to work when you haven't had any rest. Secondly, villagers need to get out sometimes to meet with other villagers at the local meeting point-- a bell.
TLDR: Villagers need to sleep and meet at a bell during gathering hours to restock the next day.
