Okay, so I saw Mumbo Jumbo make a video on the Sculk Sensors in a previous snapshot I think, where in he used a setup with an armour stand to increase the range as again the player location matters for the interaction with the Sculk Sensor, I tested this setup today and after you are out of distance you can't hear the armour stand anymore, the Sculk Sensor would still detect and give output thus makes me think this isn't intended as this is the same issue but then with a fishing rod.
It is not the same problem I think. See, in the first problem it was about a different signal strength of retrieving and casting the line and they found that the patch notes said the wrong thing but the second problem ( my problem ) shows two scenario’s:
scenario 1; close to sculk sensor, casting and retrieving the line gives to different strong outputs
scenario 2; out of reach of sculk sensor, casting the line gives the same strenght output as placing the block and retrieving gives no output at all.
Now I don’t know if this is intended I just thought it was wrong because of the two different output strenghts.
First, start the minecraftinstaller.msi and try to repair the launcher. If that doesn't work;
Open Task Manager and then Minecraft launcher; have a look at how many times the launcher starts up; if it starts up twice then close one of the running launchers. If they both close repeat this again but then close the other running launcher, when closed open the minecraft launcher again.
And if that doesn't work, log into the website minecraft.com and then close and reopen the launcher.
