Prior to 1.20.5 pre-release 1, mobs with the weaving effect would spread cobwebs in a 7×7 area upon death. Since 1.20.5 pre-release 1, this area is only 3×3.
This change was not explicitly mentioned in the change log for that update so it might not be intended.
To reproduce
Place a repeating command block with the following command in a flat area:
summon husk ~ ~1 ~ {NoAI:1b}Activate the command block with a wooden button
Splash the husks with a weaving potion
Splash the husks with as many instant health potions as it takes to kill them
Observe the size of the area in which the cobwebs are placed
Expected behaviour
The cobwebs are placed in a larger area (7×7) like in 23w14a
Observed behaviour
The cobwebs are only placed in a 3×3 area around the command block
