This seems to be the case for Bedrock on PS4 as well.

Is this still an issue in the latest version? If so, can you add it to the affected versions?

Yes, if you keep spawning spiders in snow biomes, not a single stray riding it would spawn (same with the nether)

This is still an issue as of v1.20.0 on Bedrock for PS4.

Affects 1.20.12. I don't want to come off as rude, but why isn't it fixed? It seems like it would be super easy to fix. They just have to rename two lines of code.

Affects 1.21.20.21. The spider.json file can also be found here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/reference/source/vanillabehaviorpack_snippets/entities/spider?view=minecraft-bedrock-stable
