I can confirm this strange behavior.
FYI, this may be because the sculk shrieker has a function (summoning the Warden).
It's supposed to sound like a piece of paper bending loudly.
Sorry. I don't know how. I would if I could.
I cannot figure out how to reopen this issue. Could someone tell me how or do it themselves please?
I tried this yesterday and it has not changed. I don't know what your definition of normal is, but I don't think this is what the developers intended. Are you sure you tried it in 1.17.1?
I believe this issue is on purpose to make Raids slightly easier, but you must still defeat the Raid within 20 minutes. It could be meant to make Raiders more humane.
Hmm. I tried this a while ago, so it might have been fixed. I will have to try it again.
This is still an issue for bamboo saplings. I have not noticed it anywhere else.
