Villagers Not Able to Equip Armor
When attempting to equip armor to villagers with dispensers (NOT droppers), the armor piece just falls on the ground. However, this does work on other mobs (zombies, skeletons, etc.). The Villagers can still equip armor via commands, but that isn’t really no cheat survival friendly.

Zombie Villagers, when healed, neither drop armor given through dispensers nor is it worn/dropped by the villager.
How to reproduce issue:
Put Zombie Villager in front of Dispenser;
Dispense armor;
Heal it through Weakness/Golden Apple;
Expected Behavior:
When healed, since Villagers cannot wear armor (MCPE-41432), items would be dropped to the floor;
Ideal Behavior:
Villagers should be wearing the armor still and drop it on death since it's player given item.
Actual Behavior:
Items Vanish;
Can be reproduced in all platforms for Bedrock Edition.

Villagers always die on Easy difficulty. They only have a 100% chance of becoming zombie villagers on Hard difficulty. As for villagers not being able to equip armor, that is being tracked at MCPE-41432.
Place a magma block 3 blocks in front of the player and 4 more blocks (2 extending left and right each), then lure a villager with food.
Observed result: The villager takes damage from the magma block.
Expected results: The villager can path find around the magma blocks to go towards the player.
Also speaking about villagers, I want to highlight a few other serious bugs:
*Particularly important
Villagers have never been able to wear armor. This won't work no matter what you attempt, as it is not a feature.
Actually, villagers WERE able to wear armor. Upon using a dispenser with any gear on the villager, it will be worn on the villager, although it will not be visible. The armor still functions properly, so if you were to add thorns to the armor and equip a villager with it, any zombie trying to attack the villager will be affected by its thorns. Maybe try searching it up, because I played Minecraft for a long time to know that this feature used to exist.
The last time I remeber this being a feature is at version 0.16.0.
They have been able to wear armor, it is possible to equip villagers with Armor via dispensers in Java Edition but not in Bedrock edition..
I have solved this a while ago, but never mentioned it.
Villagers HAVE BEEN able to equip armor in Bedrock, but stopped since the new villagers came in. The new villagers don’t replace the old, since they are a new entity, which means that these new villagers don’t have the same code; they lack the armor wearing with dispenser behavior.
That makes sense, I guess the follow up question is this intentional or is it an oversight? should the new villagers be able to equip armor? Can they still in the Java version?
It's a bug. Villagers were always meant to wear armor (they used to be able in Bedrock and still do in Java), so it makes sense to me that this is definitely not intentional.
Villagers can't wear mob heads using dispensers either. I was playing around in creative and it works on other mobs (skeletons, zombies, piglins, etc), but not villagers, or wandering traders.
Affects 1.16.100
Affects 1.16.200.56 Beta
Affects 1.18.31.
I have just tried to do this as this is a feature I really wish to use in my survival non-cheat world. I went into a creative one and the armour just pops out of the dispenser into a heap on the floor. I have tried encasing the villager in a dirt box with roof, using a button, and a 2 x 1 with a pressure plate. Neither work. I also tried placing the dispenser on the side at feet and head level, also from above the head and below the feet pointing directly towards the villager. Is this a feature that is supposed to work? As I thought it was. I am in 1.19 Bedrock. Thank you CJSGOOSE 18.06.22
Is this going to be ignored? would be a nice fix for 1.20.
