Still present in 19w11b, added another screenshot of patrol who spawned within 10 blocks of the exact center of the village.

Still present in latest snapshot. 19w07a, attached new screenshot of pillager group who spawned within 16 blocks of me, inside a village.

I can confirm illager patrols are definitely spawning well under their "200" block from village, I've got a world with a wall 100 blocks from village center and three packs spawned in under 2 minutes inside the walls.

Either more clarification on spawn mechanics is required or this is a bug by current definition of the "200 blocks away from a village" as detailed on the minecraft wiki... 

Edit: using 18w50a as my testing version.

Edit 2: added image also note illager has spawned on a half slab, this wall is 49 blocks from a village.

New attachment is from latest snapshot, 16w44a. And it seems to be even worse...

Command block running on "Repeat", "Unconditional" and "Always Active" with this command;

entitydata @e[type=Enderman,tag=!a] {carried:minecraft:piston_extension,Tags:["a"]}

Thats it. Worked perfectly until the latest snapshot... Hope it helps or you can point out my epic failure of command blocking...

Thanks for the reply Dylan,

Just checked with other players, and no hopper clocks exist, there is a cooked chicken farm... but that had been running for a while, this console spam only showed up in the latest snapshot...

Thanks, was not aware of the change.

Note to self, read change log entirely 🙂

Confirming the holding item flickering, was testing if this happened underwater so held a night vision potion and it flickered even worse!

Doesnt happen if minecraft is started in vanilla texture, but having any resource pack loaded causes it, even after removing the texture pack, it takes closing and re-opening minecraft to resolve... I have tried four resource packs now and its happened on all of them...

Could this be related to the resource pack changes?
