Happy New Year! It's time for the first snapshot of 2022 to hit the shelves. This development will be leading up to the release of version 1.18.2. With this release we aim to address a few issues before moving on and starting with the Wild Update snapshots.

This snapshot contains tweaks to the world seed input and adds a new placefeature command. On top of that, it also fixes a bunch of bugs.

Happy mining!

Foxes pathfinding into powdered snow, falling asleep, and dying still not fixed.

Groves shall forevermore be lifeless wastes instead of magical winter wonderlands.

I will look into it.

Bees also path find into powdered snow, now sure if that could be looked into too or not. I was lining up a screenshot once, and was waiting for the bee to get into the perfect spot when it melted into the ground and then smoke puffed out :(

Not that it's a perfect "implementation", but bees not being able to handle snowy biomes is kind of OK IMO.

I kind of agree, but if that's the case, it would then also make sense for them to not spawn in snowy biomes

True, but If we decide to fix every small thing which is wrong, there will be no new updates for 3 years. We have to prioritize.

Should be priority. Bees have been in the game for a few years now. It's pretty absurd to keep making new shit if nobody is going to fix what already exists. That's just asking for a spaghetti-coded mess that will cause further delay later down the line.

Beyond this, I struggle to believe that a change so small would take any significant amount of time to implement. Smells like an excuse, to me. Damn game is owned by a multi-billion dollar company, and you can't find the time to pay one person to write a few lines to make the bees check the biome before they successfully spawn? Oh, but we can find time to sort out goat AI... Goats are worthless, beyond aestheticism and minor annoyance for survival players.

Priorities, you say?

One genuinely has to wonder whether Mojang believes we're all blubbering morons, unable to figure out whether we should wind our ass or scratch our watch. Nothing this team has done in the last 2-3 major updates has made much of any sense. Constant self-contradiction, broken promises, and now we're on to downright excuse-making.

Every time you people speak, it seems more and more like someone at Mojang is gobbling fistfuls of Adderall before they make decisions.

Have you seen the sentiment when we released the first 1.18.2 snapshot? People were very frustrated that is was not a 1.19 snapshot.

1.18.2 brings bug fixes, 1.19 - new content. Pretty obvious what most people want.

But it seems you are of an opinion that it is possible to do both. Let's optimistically assume that including design, implementation, reviews and testing the bee issue will take 4 hours to fix. If you open our public bug tracker you will find over 8000 bugs of similar or higher priority. Excuses, excuses.

At the same time I agree with some parts of what you are saying.

I applaud your transparency as a developer. It's sad that a quality that should be regarded as a virtue often ends with the user being upset.

Thanks! Whatever you do there is always someone to be upset or angry about it. So I am not taking these kinds of opinions too seriously.

Players don't know what they want, they just know what they like when they have it. For example: Look at the story of Bethesda's horse armor and the birth of micro-transactions. Players thought "How dare you ask for real money for a cosmetic-only item," but as it turns out, we just hate micro-transactions, full stop. Doesn't matter if it's functional or cosmetic. Players didn't know this until they had both and tried both, but they still gave Bethesda a world of shit when it happened.

If you're out to win everyone's approval, you've made a grave mistake. It's not possible. I'd go so far as to argue it isn't even possible to satisfy most people. There's simply too much variation in a player-base this large. The mob votes and their associated yearly disasters are all the proof one should need.

Tip for Mojang: Stop trying to fix everyone's opinion of you, and fix the damn game instead.
