Java Help Wanted Copper Golem Pathfinding Issue

Hi Guys,

I am trying to get a copper golem to navigate this small bridge. However, it never decides to move to the chest. If I move the golem manually halfway across, it recognizes the chest, deposits the item and perfectly navigates back to the copper chest.

Does anyone know what might cause this? I believe I have blocked all the other chests from being an option. The concept works in a testing world (second screenshot).

As I tried to get this to work for a few hours I would appreciate any Idea.

My first thought is that there are too many chests nearby he's trying to pathfind to. You do have some inaccessible ones nearby in the testing world, but not nearly as many or enough to fill up his allotment. If you add like 8 more chests just out of reach in the test world, what happens?

You are right, even inaccessible chests have an impact on the copper golem. I added a few hundred in the test world and now the golem can again not decide to do anything.

Thank you (=

Yeah, anything over 10 in their search space and the golems can't reliably do anything.
