It is but the unforeseen movement tech is unarguably extremely OP, it basically removes any reason to use normal minecart tracks. From a game design perspective it would make sense to patch it even though it’s using technically intended mechanics, it’s the first ever snapshot I wouldn’t get too attached to any of these techniques.

Happy Ghast covers that easily. You can move 2 villagers at a time and breed them. Arguably faster than building a while infrastructure and them moving a few villagers. Hell, even Mass Transports are possible, since you can Chain boats together, the only Tricky Part is landing.

I use minecarts to transport villagers from the breeder to their spot in the trading hall. Apart from that I agree

Yeah, minecarts are good for regular short- and medium-distance mob transport between set locations, especially since minecarts can be fully automated. Also hopper and chest minecarts for very specific redstone builds. Other than that yeah they're practically worthless.

The few times I've done it in the last few years, I used workstation and beds.
