Villager stuck crafting

[Imaginetheday]

This morning, about 8:00, I found Zucker crafting a wooden bookshelf. I already have it, but of course he was going to give it to me anyway. However, my pockets were full, so he told me to come back. I went and sold some stuff and did a couple of other things, then went back to his house about 8:15. He was no longer in his house. Okay. I didn't care, but weird.

I got on again about 12:15 to see if anyone was crafting, and Zucker was back to crafting the wooden bookshelf. He gave me the card I couldn't take earlier, and I thought that was it. I did quit the game to try to reset the crafting, but it didn't help. I just got on again, about 1:20 my time, and he is still crafting the wooden bookshelf!

Anybody seen this or have some ideas I can try to get him to stop? I don't time travel, but I thought of going back a day and then return to today to see if that would do it.

I know that having a full inventory does sort of "lock" a villager into crafting. I'm guessing it's a fail-safe to prevent, say, having a full inventory and being unable to get the DIY, going to clear your inventory, but then coming back to find that the villager has stopped crafting. I know that some people who let visitors get DIYs use this to keep a villager crafting for longer if the DIY is sought after.

I don't have any concrete advice, but since villagers craft for ~3 hours or so, maybe it's possible that the timer didn't restart until you picked up the DIY? So I'd maybe wait until like 3:00 or 4:00 p.m. to see if it shifts then?

That's a good idea. I'll check then. Thanks!

When a villager is crafting during the morning they don't stop at 12:00. They continue until early afternoon

Did you TT at all? This happened to me once with Freya. I had TT'd within the same day and I thought it was because of that.

She stopped the next morning.

No. I've never time travelled.

I checked at 3:15 and he had stopped.

If he got the wooden bookshelf from IKEA or Amazon I'm not surprised it's taking him so long, the instructions are rediculously complicated

It really varies. I got one at 8:00 this morning, then another at 11:15. It's usually 3-4 hours.
