I cannot figure out why my villagers and children stop farming all the time. I have a wheat farm about 30 X 30 blocks with single block water sources at needed locations to keep things watered. I stand near the center and tell the villager to maintain the farm for 5, 10, or 15 radius. Regardless of what the radius is they ussually harvest like 1-25 wheat while planting new wheat but then stop when there is A LOT to finish. They DO NOT get stuck in the water, they just stop moving. If I tell my 3 children all to farm the same plot the same thing happens, to them ALL. At first I thought maybe it was confusing them that there was non-farm blocks so I removed them all. Then I thought maybe the wood slabs I had on top of the water was a problem. I removed them. Nothing I do seems to fix the problem though.

I am using 1.7.2 minecraft on MultiMC using the Forge 10.12.2.1161-mc172, RadixCore 1.2.0, and Minecraft Comes Alive 4.04 mods.

I noticed I wasn't using the reccomended version of forge so I uninstalled it and installed the appropiate one. It didn't help.

Also, if I bonemeal crops that the villager has JUST harvested while it is just standing there frozen for no reason, it will NOT harvest them. They just stop their chore. The time on their being hired is far from up.

If I push them a few blocks away they sometimes start harvesting again. But they quickly stop somewhere else.

I could not recreate the problem on minecraft 1.6.4 using a NEW save. When I used the old save from 1.7.2 (wrong forge as well) it still kept occuring on that farm for whatever reason.

Successfully reproduced the problem on 1.7.2.

What's happening is, the villager is so far away from the next edge of your farm that they're failing to get a path to it. I've accounted for this possibility and it should no longer happen in the next update.
