Wow, this is a project that I had dropped a while ago. I'm a bit moved to come back and see others who are taking up arms to keep this issue open. I felt obligated to fulfill my promise to make a feedback post.

The post is pending approval, but when it has been, it should be accessible here: https://feedback.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/community/posts/4407963964045-Phantoms-should-not-spawn-in-the-Mushroom-Fields-Biome Please feel free to move the discussion of why this issue means something to you there. The moderator has voiced that your comments will have a more significant impact if posted in the feedback thread there, as this is not a place the administrators look for feedback.

Ok I'll try to get some useful info

Thank you for reopening this issue. In celebration, I plan to finally make the official post on the Minecraft feedback website. I will link the post when it is complete. Cheers!

Here is the draft of my post that I need to edit down, hope this is satisfactory. What I was referring to was that the mod asked that we not discuss the bug by using this as a medium of discussion. I agree with you on most of your points, but this is not the place to talk about it.

I will not be able to finish tonight. Did not realize that the maximum word count was 1500. I'm going to need to cut out about 500 words, but will try to keep all of the important details in. Thank you in advance for your patience.

I agree, but I ask that you be patient and heed the mod's advice. I am almost complete with my suggestion report, and would appreciate if we could discuss this there. The mod has given me permission, and I seek to finish the post today, and post the link here.

I know you said not to use this comment section as a discussion forum, but would it be okay to post the link to the feedback post here after I complete it?

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. Is there a way I can positively rate your performance? Some rating system perhaps?

That's a shame. I really felt passionately about changing this. Where is the best place I can go in order to voice my opinion? I would be willing to cite my reasoning, but I want to know where I will have the highest likelihood of being heard.

But isn't the confirmation status "unconfirmed?" What does that even mean?

To other's in support of resolving this bug, please do not insult the developers. Our goal is to convince them (which is difficult considering there has been no real meaningful response), and insulting them is counterproductive. Instead, explain why this bug should be resolved, using your own personal experience as a source. We need as much of your support as ever right now as it seems that this bug is close to being confirmed as "works as intended", but that support must be constructive.

To the devs, I've been a member of a community that is in a constant struggle to communicate with its devs (TF2), and I thought that Minecraft would be a little different. While TF2's staff consists of far fewer members than yours does and the communication gap is thus understandable, I do understand that even for a bigger company there are many things to focus on. However, if you are examining this issue, I am fairly certain that a lot of us would greatly appreciate even a simple line of text addressing its progress, aside from the "works as intended" resolution and updates in its history. I feel that if that resolution is to be confirmed, those who feel strongly otherwise should know why.

While commenting to reveal an unreliable source is a legitimate reason, would you happen to have any further comments regarding the status of this bug? Perhaps a clarification on the reasoning behind it being the sole exception to the otherwise constant rule regarding mob spawning procedures in the Mushroom biome?

I also disagree with the current resolution. Biome spawning conditions have always taken precedence over the spawning conditions of each individual mob. It was very exciting to experience an attack for the first time, but it will soon become an annoyance to what I believe will be many members of the community if it fails to follow the same basic rules as other hostile mobs.
