Greetings,
When creating new seeds in Minecraft 1.17.41 on Windows 10, I am running into an issue with the location of the bonus chest appearing underground when I enable Caves and Cliffs under Experiments in game settings.. This issues occurs whether you are in Creative or Survival mode.
Current Behavior: Bonus Chest appears underground when you spawn into new world.
Expected behavior: Bonus Chest appears at ground level when you spawn into new world.
Steps to recreate:
Launch Minecraft
Select Play
Select Create New
Select Create New World
Put in any World Name you want
Set Default Game Mode to:
Creative - Select Continue from the Turn off achievements window that appears
Survival and then continue to next step.
Leave Difficulty on default setting (Normal)
Under World Preferences select Bonus Chest
Under Seed, leave it blank
Set Simulation distance to 8 chunks
Under World options, enable Show Coordinates
Under Experiments, enable Caves and Cliffs
From the Activate Experimental Gameplay? window that appears, select Activate Experiments
Don't change any other settings and then select the Create button
You will appear in your seed at the spawn location without a bonus chest appearing next to you (see picture). The elevation at the spawn point in this example is 66.
[media]Aim you cursor straight down and start breaking block until you get to room underground where chest appears (see next image)
[media]In this example the Chest appears at elevation -43.
The seed number for this example is 1166430434.
Press Escape
Select Save & Quite
Wait for world to save....
Select Create New
Select Create New World
Under World Preferences enable Bonus Chest
Under Experiments, leave Caves and Cliffs disabled
Select Create
Wait for World to generate
You span into world with chest at ground level (see image)
[media]The seed number for second example is -1094674368.
