Esch

I think it's still around but not as bad as originally reported. I'm still finding villages that have like 4 of them in/around one building, but not spotting multiples of the same building type in the same village. (so I guess it's partially resolved?)

I haven't been playing with any of the snapshots so I can't tell you at this point.

But twelve?? That is excessive. And every one of the five or so villages I visited had a minimum of four. Intentional or not, some setting is off with the new version because I never had this issue before 1.17

Yes! I started a new 1.17 world and found some bees and harvested the honey from their hive, but then the bees disappeared and never returned. :/
