Upgrading Worlds from 1.14 causes Villagers to lose their Brain Memories
I decided to upgrade a World from 1.14, this World has gone trough different Snapshot during the Development Stage, at the end none of those Snapshots gave me a major problem like this one that just happened recently in this 1.14.1 Pre-Release 1.
At first I noticed the Villagers not even attemping at Pathfind to their Work Station, since I upgraded the World during Nightime they were sleeping, so they could remember their Home Memory, later on I decided to check their Memories with the /data Command. I noticed they lost any Memory, I also noticed some Villagers having Babies, a hint that some Villagers couldn't even remember their Bed Coordinates so basically these Beds were not claimed and the other Villager could have Babies without any problem, previously they just attemped to have Babies but failed since there was no more Beds for Babies.
You can see only keeps the Home Memory
And this one showed up since it was previously sleeping, otherwise it would have a Blank Memory.
But notice other things like Gossip and Trades still intact, in this Villager for example

MC-151225 is related I think.

Can confirm. Noticed some villagers literally blinking between employed and unemployed, didn't give it another thought at first.
Yesterday I've left three farms running in a void world - golem one with 22 librarians/beds, wheat one with 1 farmer/bed, and carrot/potato with 4 farmers/beds. Overnight, some beds were lost, and 4 farmers were able to detect them as empty and breed to, like, 20 or 30.
EDIT: This may have been an effect of MC-151225, will test again tonight.


The issue is not bound to an version update. Villagers created in 1.14.1 pre-1 or pre-2 constantly loose their memories too.
Same issue in our server.
I've been testing around with our villagers (carried from previous snapshots) losing their job_site and I discovered that if I restart the server those villagers load again with the correct job_site memory and only lose it around the next starting "working hours" (sometimes they even get to restart the trades).
So, I guess there is chance this could be fixed and we keep this villagers after the fix. So, do not kill them
Still a problem in 1.14.1 full release.
Yes, this issue happened to me after updating from 1.14 to 1.14.1. The villagers switched their workstations, so they couldn't restock.
Luckily for me I have a backup.
Is this the same as https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-151079 ?
No, since this Issue seems to happen upon upgrading a World from 1.14 to any 1.14.1 Version or Pre-Releases. While
MC-151079happens during the time you are playing in 1.14.1 Even from creating a new World in 1.14.1 directlyMC-151079can be reproduced and another thing is that this Issue affects any type of POI memory, from Beds, Workstations and Meeting Points, all of this Data gets wiped out when you upgrade a World to this version.I believe
MC-151079is more related toMC-151376Looks like is fixed for 1.14.2 Pre-Release 1
I made a Backup of this World that used for the Testing, it left me at the same spot I was last time I took the Screenshot of the Cleric with only the Home Memory. Now as you can see it didn't lost the Brain Memories Data.
My poor 16 emerald mending villager is gone. and im not about to go to my backup cause I did so much work lol
@Gabriel: Open your backup, press F3+I while looking at your mending villager to get the summon command and execute that command in your current save, and you'll get your villager back.
It was fixed in 1.14.2 Pre-Release 1. It's again broken in Pre-Release 2
The problem persists in 1.14.2. Pre-Release 3
Keeps happening to me on 1.14.1 world. Have 2 villagers each one bounded to its working station and from day to the other they lost their brain info. Have already got 2 new villagers, got them master and in a few days they've lost brain info again... This is annoying...
Still in 1.14.2 Pre-Release 4
@Dinip The Issue you mentioned sounds very familiar, I believe it's related to
MC-151376Not fixed in the full release 1.14.2
I'm not sure, but it seems to be fixed in 1.14.3 Pre-Release 1
Fixed in 1.14.3 snapshots (tested on Pre2)

Did A LOT of tests updating a 1.14.0 world to 1.14.1 & 1.14.2... updated normally/optimizing/optimizing&erasing cache, etc... all of them failed and villagers lost their memory.
But i can confirm its fixed in 1.14.3 snapshots!, tested a couple of times and villagers worked normally, followed their schedule, and kept their jobs...
