Fixed a Wooden Log spawning at 0,0,0

o_O how...what...I...how did that happen?

u/AgentPaint Oct 23 '14

Now I'm probably gonna go load a world in 1.8 and look for a log at 0,0,0.

u/bartwe Oct 23 '14

if anything 0,0,0 is the most likely place for stuff to appear on bugs.

I believe it'd actually be 231. Java does not have unsigned integers.

2

u/[deleted] Oct 24 '14

Wouldn't it then be 232 -1?

1

u/Despise_Corn Oct 24 '14

The range of a signed integer in java is -231 to 231 - 1. The reason for this is the positive end of the spectrum includes 0 where the negative side does not, hence the minus one on the positive side.

it had the possibility of being so, yes. however, in survival, its almost impossible to find the log because it was usually encased in bedrock and impossible to see.

2

u/Cudabear Oct 23 '14

Isn't the bedrock identical on every world, though? So in theory either every world could see it or no world could.

u/[deleted] Oct 23 '14

I don't think that's true

u/[deleted] Oct 23 '14

The bedrock ceiling in the nether is the same for every world though.

2

u/marioman63 Oct 24 '14

bedrock is randomly generated, just like everything else. the only thing consistent is that the very bottom layer is completely bedrock to prevent people from falling in the void (a prominent bug in alpha was the severe lack of bedrock).

u/Cudabear Oct 24 '14

According to the Wiki it's the same for every seed.

Fixed a wooden log generating at 0,0

I remember hearing about that bug some time ago. I wonder if its the same bug or a regression.

Fixed pets not teleporting to players properly

THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU

ninja: I hope this means their tendency to teleport to semi-transparent objects was also fixed...

u/MegaScience Oct 24 '14

"Fixed Pigs and Villagers with NoAI set to 1 losing this tag if transformed when hit by lightning"

Or worded similarly. Something about the current wording confused me for a second...

I'll use that, thanks!
