Baby pandas never spawn naturally

Baby pandas never spawn naturally unlike what was shown in the Village and Pillage announcement trailer at Minecon 2018. To reproduce, look in a bamboo jungle or use a bamboo jungle buffet world and you'll see that no baby pandas will ever spawn.

It's more likely than not that the developers just spawned an adult panda and a baby panda next to each other to make the footage shown in the Village and Pillage announcement trailer.

@unknown, most likely not. In the Minecon 2018 panel, it's shown the player found it while exploring the jungle, and it included a baby panda. Players will expect that also baby pandas are spawning with the adult ones.

My first theory would be partially supported by the fact that, in the scene with the baby pandas (timestamp: 21:20), the player is flying, which means they are either in creative mode and spawned pandas, or they bred the pandas before the scene (note that the surrounding area provides the breeding requirements, and that one panda is eating bamboo). Also note that the player has bamboo in his hotbar (21:08 to 21:20).

There is one thing I forgot to note: in Bedrock edition, baby animals (including pandas) can spawn naturally. The video was most likely recorded in Bedrock Edition, as there are several things to note about both the video and the events after:

  1. Pandas were introduced in the Bedrock Edition beta before the Java Edition snapshots.

  2. -The Bedrock Edition-styled hotbar (21:08 - 21:20)- ignore this line, bedrock edition's hotbar is transparent (_)

  3. The old aggressive panda texture, exclusive to earlier Bedrock Edition betas prior to beta 1.8.0.11 (starting at 21:26).

It was recorded in Java, as evidenced by the 3D item models on the ground

What is there to prove that the baby pandas weren't bred or spawned via spawn egg in creative mode, then? Also note that the player has no health/hunger meter, something only possible in creative mode.

Confirmed that this is completely fixed; baby pandas will now uncommonly spawn among other pandas (which is understandable since pandas don't reproduce often), and they can also spawn with certain variants like adult pandas as expected.
