Do villagers take items from chests in 1.16?
I am building my base near a village. I am keeping my chests with valuables in my house. I have a doubt whether the villagers can steal my belongings from my chest.
I have checked this other question but it's for the wrong version and doesn't really answer my question either.
Solution 1:
No. Villagers don't take items from any containers - even ones that are their workstations. The only exception is farmer composting plants in his composter and taking the bonemeal it produces. But chests, barrels, smokers, blast furnaces etc are safe.
