So basically I'm running a server at home for my cousins and friends and when we spawned into the world I decided to make an underground house where I have everything underground. So one of the things on my list to make in my underground house was a villager farm (btw I'm playing on the latest version 1.16.5 and I am using plugins) so I got all of the villagers into my house and made 2 of them farmers so they could both farm and breed. I also made them entire potato farm for them to use and they never used it. I have the farm on Y level 55 I should also mention. I've tried looking up solutions and most sources are out dated but the things I have tried are making a hole in the ceiling to let light in and putting a composter on the farm. I have also tried giving the villagers the crops to see if they will plant it but they just used it to breed instead. Also I have given the villagers plenty of potatoes and they have bred when I give them stuff but what I want to happen is the farmers farm the potatoes and distribute them to the others. Thanks for any help in advance and if any more info is needed/wanted I am happy to give it! There is also a picture of the farm below for reference.

I think the plants wont grow because they do not hav access to sunlight
Plants need light but it doesn't have to be sunlight, torches work just fine.
But for a villager to become a farmer and start farming they need a composter (their own personal composter, they won't share.)
Just testing.
