Hi. I play on a server with my friends and made a gold farm that works in basically every version of Minecraft. It was working fine until one day, zombie pigmen decided not to spawn at all. There are about 400 blocks to spawn on and I was getting 0 spawns. I'd like to report this. Thank you.

I have a gold farm as well in the nether and I have tested it without any other players online on my server and 20w17a breaks it. I get only about 10 pigmen per minute while in 20w16a I was getting hundreds. I took a backup of the server on 20w16a and loaded it into single player and the farm was working fine but when I updated to the latest snapshot it was broken again. It is either a bug or there is some intentional change to spawning in the nether. Possibly a change to spawning above the bedrock ceiling?
Please attach a screenshot of the gold farm. Zombie pigman spawning has undergone fairly significant changes as a result of 1.15 and the 1.16 snapshots, it's possible you aren't meeting the current criteria (see MC-156004)
This also happens with the enderman farm. For some reason after updating to 20w17a enderman simply don't spawn. If I roll back to previous versions it works just fine...
I have run into this issue as well. I don't think it's a bug, but it always happened for me when one of my friends was in the nether, anywhere in the nether. When I was alone in the nether, a ton of zombie pigmen spawned, but right when one of them entered the nether (and their portals were even on the roof where nothing else was spawning) it seemingly stopped my farm from spawning zombie pigmen.
