Same map since the last wipe years ago. There's not been any major changes necessitating chunk updates as far as I can tell. Though I haven't been into the game either in ages. ...Apparently there's hang gliders in Vanilla now.

There's not currently cross play support for the Java edition with the cross play Bedrock edition (Windows 10, Xbox, Mobile etc). However, as a result of this question I did do a quick Google and apparently there's now an Alpha testing server for the Bedrock edition:

A while ago I had been keeping an eye out for something like this for a while but this obviously slipped by me. When I get a spare moment I'll definitely try tinkering with it! Obviously it would have to be a separate world to the current Dakka one. Although there's the option to import a world, it would then not be kept in sync with the Java edition world from that point onwards.
There's been changes to how mob collision works, there's Tridents and glider wings now, there's single-block BUDs called Observers, there's a variety of new ocean-based blocks, plants and things.
There's Drowned, which are ocean zombies. There's also Phantoms which are undead flying manta rays that swoop down on players that don't sleep enough.
There's a few other things as well, I believe. Nothing, though, compared to what the next update is going to do- complete new Villager mechanics, crossbows, new crafting systems, new mobs...

It's still slowly making its progress (from the center outwards), so is not fully complete. You may have to zoom in and/or do a SHIFT+Refresh to force a refresh of certain sections.
Missing chunks (like the area in the top left of the screenshot above) are from where I have deleted chunks to get the new oceans, but no-one has visited that area since the update.

along with the new mobs is a new mechanic, if you ever get a bad omen debuff, do not go to spawn, there's technically 2 villages at spawn and the last thing spawn needs is beasts & illagers rampaging threw it. trading hall & iron farm. Our map was made in 1.7 that's why there's no diorite near spawn, then came woodland mansions, dark did great work with resetting the oceans so we had all the new fun stuff, now were getting bamboo forests. If we didn't reset the maps for the ocean stuff, we don't need to just for bamboo.
speaking of the trading hall village, I'm going to update it soon, as I've run out of places to store villagers at my place, thus I have no room for any of the new xbow enchantment librarians.
I want to redo the current hall and merge it into the banner hall as that's where all the villagers are ending up anyways. I could just make the current hall deeper, but I have no idea what has been hidden under and around spawn.
Heh, you can see my arm as I was shooting arrows at some spiders in there. Yeah, that was a pretty sizable and messed up underwater stronghold. Even has an end portal! When we activate it, it'll be added to the list.

I'm willing to skip the next update and forgo crossbows to keep the iron flowing
buy your favorite books while you can, I'm not sure if the librarian trades will still work after it updates.
He explains it for a while but starts showing his prototype around 7mins in.
Seems it still works just need to be different. I was about to start building a new village near the city of ghost anyway, but it shouldn't take much to upgrade it to ensure that there's still a bunch of them around.
Yeah, we'll adapt. I really do not want to see more ghost town villages.

Weird, I'm unable to get past "Loading terrain" on the load screen when I try to connect to the Dakka server.
Automatically Appended Next Post: Okay, must have been lag. After three dozen or so tries I managed to connect.

Anyone got a summary of how villagers currently behave when it comes to spawning, buildings, beds, doors, etc? Basically what the best way now is to craft a villager house and maintain a large, dense village.

Cool. Gives us time to research what to do with villagers and villages and how to optimize large villages.

ok there is something seriously going on with the server. some days i can connect fine, some days it is really slow at the loading terrain section and then spits out: Internal Exception: java.io.IOException: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.
when i see that i give up for a few days and then the server will just randomly work again. Today i died while caving and respawned at my base and then got kicked with this error message and now i am unable to connect and will lose items due to despawn because i cannot connect to the server.
At this point the server is unplayable for me as it is very inconsistent with connectivity.
Eventually the server decided to work and i was able to get my items without loss, it still took almost 20 mins to be able to log back on.

So from what I can tell, you need a 5x5 building with a bed and a door to define a house. I'm not sure on the specifics. Anyone labbed how best to build villager houses and how to maximzie their use of space?

You need 1bed / villager: What about an soviet style block building?

Wonder if you can manage to place the beds bunkbed style for this? Hmm.

I have also set the server difficulty down to easy until people are acclimatised to the new villager raids. It was previously set to normal difficulty. In a few weeks we can decide if people prefer to keep the difficulty on easy or move it back up to normal.

be careful when you log in, my tower was fine last night, but when I logged in today all my lights were out and my tower was filled with mobs. my villagers are safe for now but 3 of them survived a creeper blast and I get to fight my way to the top.
