    It’s been being requested they fix it for years, they don’t give a shit about the bug tracker

    Let’s be honest, in the current state of mojang it’s a small group of people who add what they think the game needs and give 0 fucks about the general community

    This should be able to be fixed with a datapack (which also means Mojang should’ve fixed it by now, if the intention is to do so). The relevant files are the ‘brown_mushroom_normal’ and ‘red_mushroom_normal’ placed_feature files. They use the heightmap ‘MOTION_BLOCKING’, seemingly limiting them to the surface (the heightmap stuff isn’t clear to me). ‘red_mushroom_nether’ on the other hand, has a height_range that allows it to generate at any y-level. ‘glow_lichen’ is similar.

    Edit: Not related to mushrooms, but [squids have been dying on shores for 7½ years (1.13)](https://mojira.dev/MC-132473). It’s another example of Mojang prioritising new features over polishing the game, sadly.

  4. On bedrock too? I would pretty regularly grow mushrooms underground but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s been 5+ years since I was into the game.
