I agree completely with all you have said – however, as a professional developer, I would just like to respectfully say that not fixing a bug marked "Important" that has been open for nearly two years, has spanned the release of three major versions and has well-documented reproduction steps and several community-created fixes is rather poor. If this had happened with any of our customers then they would have chosen to cease being our customers much sooner than two years down the line. As a player who has not been able to enjoy the new features that Mojang/Microsoft keep pushing out because of this bug, I relate to Scuti (and everyone else) in feeling like we are being ignored. Updates need not be bug-free but it would be good if old bugs were fixed before new ones were potentially introduced.
However, for all I know the devs could be rewriting the entire lighting engine in the terrain generation update, so I wish them good luck and thank them for all their hard work to date. Just... if they could fix this one soon it would be enormously appreciated.
