I have been affected by this issue too. I found that upon re-logging the next set of water bottles would be allowed through to brew but this did not fix the issue and any further bottles were prevented from going through.

Ok, so I loaded up Minecraft this afternoon and went onto 1.9 and lone behold sound now seems to work as does the subtitles. I am pretty sure there has been no new updates for Minecraft since the full release and therefore I can only conclude there was a system fault. The change I have made with my system was to uninstall a program called relevant knowledge which is apparently a piece of adware found on many machines. You can find it in your program lists, I uninstalled it and that could've been affecting Minecraft (just a theory but it is worth a try).

Yes I can confirm too that the bug still exists, I got a new computer around the middle of last year which helped a lot (higher render distance could be used) however I only use 8 chunks and in the 15w42a snapshot my gold farm spawned few pigmen at 8 chunks so I have to crank it up to 16 in order to get rates working.

I tried F3+t but that never worked.

I attached an up to date crsh report above, if you need it in a different way please let me know.

I gave these above steps a go but that did not work either.

Ok so I tried the link when it was first sent but I got no response when I typed my question in (I did wait quite a long time but then had to go. I tried the link again a few days ago but now it says the web page has been taken down or temporarily removed so for now that option is not viable. Again I believe this issue is a bug as opposed to a system fault since subtitles don't work either but then again that may just be me.

Ok thank you

Thanks for your advice but I am sure I have the updated version of java and I did reinstall Minecraft and made sure I used the msi.Installer but that hasn't seemed to have worked.

Thanks very much

ok, will do this

I don't believe I use that. I quickly searched online to find out about it but I don't use it as far as I'm aware.

Here is the crash report

ok, will do that, I'm really sorry I don't understand your last question

It didn't work, I have no idea what else it could be, like I said sound works on all other versions of Minecraft but the two latest snapshots. I might post a video on it to demonstrate the issue.

ok, I have no resource packs but I will try the f3+t command

Thanks for the advice guys, much appreciated 🙂

Does anyone know of any 1.8 mods which counter this bug? Mods which increase mob spawning?

This problem is still in the game. I changed my render distance to a higher value and my entity count tripled. While on a 3 chunck render distance and on Hard mode I went caving and there was 9 entities in total and I had none spawning in the caves.
