This is still an issue in Minecraft 1.15.2
I certainly wouldn't consider this resolved. It appears there are no news articles at all on the RSS feed. This is really disappointing because there's pretty much no other way for us to view the news articles and get notifications for them!
@Petr_Mrazek So, it's been almost half a year. I agree with @Zek_Nesler that this is crazy. I understand it's a major pain in the a$$ to fix this by (albeit, re-uploading some files and then changing some indexes) (debatable), but it basically makes the old version of the game unplayable. I LOVE going back and experiencing a blast from the past for 1.2.5, but without any sounds it's almost impossible. 😞
Confirmed for 1.10 : All Versions
Still broken since 1.9. Fix in plan?
It does play a sound when shift-right click.
Can confirm this behavior on 1.18.1; unfortunately causes players on a bad internet connection to be completely unable to connect to our server making it unplayable. We are forced to lower our render distance to 10 to allow for these players to join. Like mentioned by others, the expected behavior would be that the server would only send the amount of data that the client is requesting instead of sending it all and telling the client to deal with it. This makes the game unplayable for those with low-end machines and lower-end internet connections.
Notably, PaperMC has fixed this issue previously in 1.17 and is working on porting it to 1.18, I don't know if this could help Mojang understand what the issue is and possibly fix it on their end as well. [See this GitHub issue|Possibly fix MC-228420 · Issue #7357 · PaperMC/Paper (github.com)].
