The bug
The new nether biomes (nether wastes, soul sand valley, crimson forest, warped forest and basalt deltas) do not work in Surface or Floating Island Buffet worlds.
To reproduce
Create New World
Select More World Options
Make a buffet world
Select Soul Sand Valley
Set terrain type to Floating Islands or Surface
→ ❌ Floating Island mode Freezes the game before it even loads terrain (Image Below)
→ ❌ -Surface mode creates a purely ocean world (This happened the first time i tried to make one but works fine now for some reason)
The following list is updated in version 20w15a:
Biomes | All world generators that freeze the game |
Nether wastes | Surface |
Crimson forest | Surface |
Warped forest | Surface and floating islands |
Soul sand valley | Surface |
Basalt deltas | Surface |

Surface generation broke again, the ticket should probably be updated to remove the "Fixed"s next to that stuff
Unfortunately, this issue (placement of some features over void takes significant amount of time) got merged with separate (probably unreported) bug about strider generation deadlocking the game. I would suggest not updating this one until next snapshot with fix for both issues.
After it freezes, the only way to close it is with task manager. Not Responding doesnt appear, and the X doesnt close it after multiple attempts.
