To help the devs out can anyone confirm whether any LOCAL worlds created with Minecraft version 1.16.1 corrupt themselves. If that is not an issue, I suspect the datafixerupper is at fault as 1.14 introduced a new mob (bees).
I do not claim to know anything about the inner workings of minecraft. These are just educated guesses.
(Question for a minecraft dev) Was there a leveldb format update for 1.14 that might have been buggy? Did DataFixerUpper do its job properly? Would those cause the missing chunk issue?
This happened to my brother and I on 1.16 and 1.16.1. Luckily we both keep backups of our worlds. Ive attached copies of both worlds (world 1 and world 2). Screenshots are of world 1. I tried various devices (iOS and Android). All produced the same results. The world type did not matter. Some corruptions were worse than others. When I removed everything but the level.dat, there did not seem to be any corruption.
Note: The corruption occurred on LOCAL WORLDS. I do not use realms as of yet.
When playing on a minecraft server, I have the same issue. Custom skins become steve.
This still happens after opening backups that haven't been opened since 2017.
