I have upgrade to java to jdk1.8.0_171. 

I tried to increase memory with -Xms4096M -Xmx4096M on the command line

Renamed my old .minecraft folder to .minecraft-old to force all files to download again.

I tried the alternative download at, https://minecraft.net/en-us/download/alternative

I was able to create a new world in 1.12.2, but still have the problem when going to the game made with 18w21a.

Trying to force load my 18w21a file in 1.12.2 just gets me hung at Loading World

I don't think this is solved. I have tethered golems. They frequently get away. I'm in Minecraft 1.7.5

If you are trying to recreate the issue, tether a golem, exit the game (single player) and return. Does the tether graphic still appear? (mine does not) If the golem loses sight of it's hitching point does the golem break the tether? (sometimes mine break the tether by going around a corner). If you re-enter a game, and the tether graphic does not appear, when you break the tether's tie up point, does the tether disappear and fail to drop on the ground and/or fail re-enter your inventory? (I've lost many a lead this way).

If golems break away because they are big and strong, that's fine. Do golems stay tethered forever, or are they prone to break free?
