Tropical Fish Spawning in Bubble Column Passing through Lush Cave

The Bug

I completed a bubble elevator column that passes through a Lush Cave. The bubble column is from y = -56 to y = 63 and is controlled by red stone so you can go to different floors using lecterns and note blocks (e.g. video). I can understand the chance of fish spawning when the column changes and water sources reconnect, however I don’t know why fish would continue to spawn while the elevator is a complete bubble column and not being interacted with.

Reproduce

  1. Locate a Lush Cave biome

  2. Make a bubble column using soul sand and complete the column using waterlogged stairs

  3. Wait for fish

Current Result

Tropical fish spawn in bubble column

Expected Result

Tropical fish don’t spawn in the bubble column

Hello, I recreated the issue for your team in a vanilla 1.21.11 single player.

Screenshots from the initial submission were from a fabric server, running vanilla-like with simple voice chat and a few data packs.

The screenshots below are a vanilla only recreation with no mods enabled.

The similar issue (MC-244683) does not feel 100% resolved.
