Yes it is still in existance
Happened to me, and had no choice but to teleport myself back to spawn as i dont really feel like walking 1678 blocks.
I think that it is intended because they aren't full blocks. (like chests)
Have added the requested info
Did you have hero of the village originally?
I think that they are just not waterloggable
Think it is a new feature
No- just that i have fixed the version
Sorry- is fixed now
Or burn in lava
They despawn
The whole creep expands during the nimation
No, i had a set of iron tools and loads of other things, it was as if i had died and respawned whilst the game was turned off.
Thanks for fixing
Respawn point*
This happens with spruce stairs- i dont know about other types.
The world seed is -134836722 and coordinates are 829, 89, -1120.
I don't have the world saved anymore, so cant get coordinates. sorry
but if i use a spawn egg right next to me it just dissapears.
It has not happened again that I have noticed.
