still affects 1.20.62, torches can only melt snow still, natural sunlight does not, a more recent update that restricts snowfall to forming only to one block does actually work (but snow does not naturally melt either)
affects 1.20.41, however torches are working properly to melt blocks but not during the day at all
still an issue as of 1.20.10, it kind of sucks not being able to play or live in snowy biomes due to the light levels not melting snow, especially during day
this has been affecting 1.19.71 and a few of its previous versions, at first i noticed the tick speed reduced somewhat after the recent hotfix but with constant snowing, the snow biomes look like white fields of potholes, i believe Java minecraft has a game rule command and setting when creating a world that could fix this issue but this has yet to be implemented (i should mention during the day/daylight is not at all melting the snow back down to 1 layer)
attempting to use /fill ~-5 ~-1 ~-5 ~5 ~-1 ~5 air 0 replace grass when previously 19 or 20 hours ago it was a valid command, specifically when plugging that into the chat box, its the 0 part that is apparently invalid, and trying any other way from any other game version or by example is also invalid
massive bug here when java minecraft doesnt need to use the block state!
affects 1.21.1, torches struggle to evenly melt snow, natural light/sunlight/day cycle does not melt to an even 1 layer of snow in any snow biomes
