This preset gets stuck on 0%, with the diagram on the loading screen looking like in the image below.
minecraft:bedrock,2*minecraft:netherrack,minecraft:warped_nylium;minecraft:warped_forest;decoration
A world with the alternate preset
minecraft:bedrock,2*minecraft:netherrack,minecraft:warped_nylium;minecraft:warped_forest;
generates in a reasonable amount of time, but lacks trees.
Possibly related to MC-171020.
EDIT: Crimson Forest and Soul Sand Valley superflats not tested.

However, that ticket has already been resolved as Fixed. The fix will arrive in the next version or is already included in the latest development version of the game.

Same underlying issue as MC-171020 (twisting vines spawning over void), no longer reproducible



After it freezes, the only way to close it is with task manager. Not Responding doesnt appear, and the X doesnt close it after multiple attempts.
Can also confirm, first found this while testing mods and then reproduced on vanilla
Still in 20w07a, gets stuck on 1-2% instead of 0%
Can confirm too, Log Brought back up this line:
[Server thread/WARN]: Unable to find spawn biome
Can confirm for 20w08a
For me the "Surface" option works fine for me. Are you sure it doesnt work
It doesn't totally freeze, it just loads unnaturally long. Took me 4 hours and only the central chunks of the world were loaded then.
Can confirm for 20w08a
Can confirm for 20w09a
Starting 20w10a Surface and Cave works but with floating islands it doesn't work
Also affects warped forest and even sometimes crimson forest.
It's actually basalt pillars generation.
I loaded a warped forest for floating island and it is stuck at loading 2% for 20w14a
Still in the 20w14a with warped forest.
Did you notice that iron doors dont work anymore?
Surface generation broke again, the ticket should probably be updated to remove the "Fixed"s next to that stuff
Unfortunately, this issue (placement of some features over void takes significant amount of time) got merged with separate (probably unreported) bug about strider generation deadlocking the game. I would suggest not updating this one until next snapshot with fix for both issues.
Confirmed fixed for all of the nether biomes.
I´ve been reporting this bug too, but it´s been closed as "incomplete"
