This bug is now 4 months old, it is easily re-produced by starting a BDS server, connecting as a client, and traveling to a nearby structure. Vanilla is unplayable with BDS at the moment. How sad that Microsoft can't be bothered to fix it.
Can verify this bug occurs in my Docker hosted BDS server and is present on multiple world seeds. Windows 10 client.
Jacob, no one is going to fix this. Currently, there's no one assigned to it. So it's not being worked on. I'm hoping by commenting we will bump up the visibility.
I don't understand how so few people are reporting it as an issue. Where on Reddit or Discord could we raise the profile of the issue? EDIT: I've IM'd mojang support on Twitter. SUGGEST OTHERS DO THE SAME PLEASE.
Is there a server other than BDS that we can use?
I just traveled to a village location as indicated by Chunkbase and confirmed the bug still exists.
Sad
