Ravagers will try to pathfind through leaves (as if they could break them) when the 'mobGriefing' gamerule is set to false even though they can pathfind around them.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Import the attached 'generated.zip' into your world's folder (.minecraft/saves/[world]
generated.zip
- Unzip it (can delete the .zip file after)
- Disable mobGriefing
/gamerule mobGriefing false - Load the structure in your world
- Follow instructions of signs
Observed & Expected Results:
- The ravager will continue to pathfind towards the leaves thinking it can break them, instead of simply walking around them.
- The ravager would walk around the leaves to get to the villager.

Hello there. You are very likely experiencing this behavior because the "mobGriefing" gameule is set to "false"; see MC-177120. If this is the case, does enabling this gameule resolve the problem?
Cannot reproduce. They'll look at the item for like 3-4 seconds and then leave.
I can reproduce in 20w16a. Heres a video of it. The villager will try to pick up the potatoes until they despawn (not shown in the video sicne I didn't want to record for 5 min)
https://youtu.be/OmKuELJO-As
Interrestingly enough, if mobGriefing is set to true and the villagers inventory is full, it will completely ignore any extra items laying on the ground.
I dont know if there is a report for this, but a related issue is that villagers who are locked onto something they want to pick up but are unable to, will indefinetly try to do so until the items despawn. This is a problem since it ignores the villagers schedule and will make the villager ignore going to bed at night.
Can confirm in 1.17.
Can confirm in 1.19 and 1.19.1 Pre-release 1.
