Not bumping, just letting you know that my Villagers still aren't breeding, in case you were wondering. It's been a day since i posted, and many MC days since they stopped...I hope i did not screw things up!
FIXED.
I read a few places/few people, that popularity does not affect villager breeding for more than 3 minutes. Well, screw this. It does.
Bad reputation is forever..as switching reputation happens only once. So it will switch from good to bad..but will never switch back to good.
Deleting all valid doors, also erase a village. So I did just that. I deleted the 6 doors I had down there, place new ones.
Since popularity is per village..as that village got erased, my reputation was too. I am back to 0.
I got out of the *door hole* and saw hearts right away...

Believe anything you want. It doesn't make you right. I've killed hundreds of villagers at my breeder (and hundreds more, at other breeders before this one), and they're still back to going at it three minutes later, every time. I even checked the NBT data in my world's villages.dat file, just in case the kills don't count in the "infinite breeding zone" or something weird like that-- nope, my reputation is a solid -30 (the lowest it can go) and they still keep on breeding. I don't know what your issue was, but I do know it wasn't that.
Popularity does not affect breeding at all. Three minutes, ten minutes, no minutes. No minutes is the answer. Popularity affects breeding for no minutes, because popularity does not affect breeding. What popularity does do, is make the iron golems (if there are any) angry. If a player's popularity in a village is -15 or below, that village's iron golems will become hostile towards the player. That is the only effect popularity has in the game. Additionally, popularity very much can be increased again. Trading with villagers raises your popularity in a village; attacking the villagers or golems will reduce it. And that's all there is to it.
When a villager dies to a non-player source (i.e. fall damage, lava, zombies, etc.) then it does not affect popularity, but that is when the breeding will shut down, for exactly three minutes. But that's not due to popularity. it's a different mechanic. When you hurt the villagers, your popularity goes down. When you don't do it but the villagers get hurt anyway, they stop breeding temporarily but popularity is unaffected.
Everything was going fine before I killed more than 30 or so villagers.
They only started breeding again after I deleted their village, and built it again (deleted doors, placing new doors). How do you explain this?
It's a head-scratcher, I'll grant you that. But I'm rather confident in my understanding of the mechanics involved. I have used that exact same villager breeder before. It's the same as the one from ImpulseSV's video from 2014. I killed many many villagers, both by hand and by environmental damage. The breeder continued to work. Like I said before, I don't know what your problem was, but I know it wasn't that. Without being able to see for myself, all I could do is speculate. There must have either been a block, a door, or a villager, either somewhere it didn't belong, or not one somewhere it should have been. Are you sure you didn't block off the skylight access to the doors underground?
A villager out of the breeder pen, yes. At some point they were 2 roaming out of there, because they escaped. They got turned by zombies (I made sure of that) then once turned, I killed them.
No, I did not block the skylight..I knew this was necessary for the village well being.
One thing might have happened is that the village got buggy somehow..and reseting it did the job? If it is so, it would have been easy to mistake this as popularity problem.
Anyone knows how long will it takes for Villagers to forgive me and get back to breeding?
What I have heard/read says that they will stop breeding for 3 minutes..well it's been days.
Now, all my contraptions are ready for more Villagers, but no one is born.
If this helps, they were breeding fine before.
I am using Automatic Infinite Villager Breeder 1.11.2 by Coopsy.
and I just finished building and testing ( testing needs murdering sometimes) the Villager trading hall by Tango Tek.

You think magic isn't real? Consider this: for every person, there is a sentence -- a series of words -- which has the power to destroy them.
