I set up a simple cow crusher in a new world we created when 1.18 came out. It uses the entity cramming mechanic to get a bunch of mobs (cows, in this case) in a single block. Feeding them wheat causes them to reproduce, which kills off "surplus" adult cows and siphons the loot into a chest via a hopper. It worked fine for a while, but for the past several weeks it's been more or less unusable.
When the crusher functioned normally, the cows would appear onscreen as stacked but distinct entities. You could distribute wheat to all the cows in the stack by kind of spamming the right click and circling around them.
In the crusher's broken state, all of the cows appear as a single, unified entity with lots of glitchy lines. You can only feed the entire stack one, maybe two wheat before right clicking has no effect. Whereas you used to be able to kill off ten "surplus" cows in a session, you can now only kill one at most.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Can anyone set up a cow crusher to reproduce and confirm this bug? And is it even a bug, or is it a change in the entity cramming mechanic? I've experienced it with both Optifine and vanilla Minecraft, so it definitely seems like a Paper issue.
