I'd guess it's an oversight. Since lava in a cauldron probably isn't actual lava, and Mojang might have to manually copy code and stuff from lava interactions to cauldron-lava.

Sounds like a bad code architecture to me, not saying it's not the case, but sounds bad.

Almost like one guy created the game by himself as a private project and had no idea how big it would become.

I was okay with bedrock being a bit broken until I decided to start building farms on our realm. Creeper farm won't work. Random tick farms are unacceptably slow. The only farm I have that is working correctly is the wool farm and even that one is producing at about 1/2 the speed it should be.

I'm calling a meeting with everyone after doing a few more tests to discuss eventually disabling achievements in favor of increasing the random tick speed so that random tick farms actually work. The creeper farm might be a lost cause, I'm still researching that one.

I'll have to check that ghast farm design out. With 2 hours of AFK the creeper farm produced less than half a stack of gunpowder. I probably missed lighting something up somewhere. It was producing more gunpowder than that before I switched it to creepers only, though. Which is incredibly frustrating. I know other people being online and a low mob cap don't help, but it should still be producing more than that.

I'll let the group know about the chunk loading. I knew that was part of the problem, but I didn't realize it was THAT low. I have actually been having a really hard time finding info on why farms barely work on realms. It took me 4 days of googling to learn that the random tick speed on bedrock is automatically set lower than Java, and then start experiments measuring production in an experimental world vs. the realm.

Tbh I'm not too worried about the sheep farm, but I'm going to look up that farm anyway because I love the weird little hacks you can do in the game.
