Problem seems to have been fixed for me on Windows 10 and for my son on Xbox1.
@Auldrick I appreciate the measured response and while I'm not a professional coder I've got a fair understanding of the challenges faced. The last line though about how it's only gamebreaking if we "give in" to it. Thing is we all play how we play. The beauty of Minecraft is I get to choose how I play. When my style/strategy is unavailable because of something like this, I (and many others) have a right to simply ask if a resolution might be near. While it's not gamebreaking for you it's nearly 90% for me. Oh, I'm hooked so I still get on and now carry a bed with me so I can lay it down and sleep whenever night falls near of any of my 13-14 protected villages. I was a late-comer to the Minecraft phenomenon, so while I'm sure there have been many frustrating bugs over the course of the game's lifespan this is the first one that actually had me frustrated with the game itself.
Before I saw Matthew Rowan's comment, I was going to ask the same thing as he. A rollback to the previous configuration seems like a logical step but that might not be possible and I'd understand that too. It does seem obvious that whatever code was updated in the latest version is responsible for the issue.We are going on 30 days now...hopefully it'll be corrected soon. Thank you again for the response.
Is there any kind of an idea when the next update will be? Seriously, I love playing this game but since this bug emerged the game is nearly unplayable. I like playing the game at night, the reason I protect my villages is so that I can walk around in lighted safety at night. This is absolutely a gamebreaking bug.
I am having the same issue. Only occurs at night, and only when I'm in a village. I have been working around this by sleeping as soon as allowed.
I'm not getting any drops from hostile mobs outside the normal Arrows/bones/zombie flesh/gunpowder. I'm on Windows 10 Bedrock version. I do have plenty of mobs wearing armor and toting weapons and shovels but they never drop.
