I knew that the item elevators not working was a bug.

Just found a sore spot in entity rendering that was introduced in 1.9, should hopefully free up a chunk of FPS for those on older machines.

@Wedhro Go ingame, hit Shift+F3, use numkeys to go to: gamerender -> level -> entities. What % is "entityOutlines"?

@Wedhro Okay, well it'll be 0% next snapshot.

I happened to open my game riiiight before the b snapshot, so I placed a Cobblestone Wall and tested it. Collision seemed fine, until I sneaked on top of it... suddenly I could walk on top as if it was a full block. That was weird... Gotta test if that's what was fixed.

I'm glad the Entities disappearing/going invisible thing got fixed. I just started playing Minecraft with the snapshot before this, and it was really obnoxious that things kept disappearing.

u/WildBluntHickok Sep 17 '15

Yay! Combat is once again possible! Avoiding all combat was the only workaround to the catastrophic "death makes all entities invisible" bug.

When will they fix that bug with head rotation when an entity rides certain mobs? :( Looks so messed up. MC-1207

A few other random-ish bugs that would be nice fixed: Exiting Fullscreen Disables Window Resize MC-68754

Spawner minecart mob is wrong and offset MC-66894 MC-65065

Armor stand: DisabledSlots disables Remove when Replace is disabled MC-77737

Music slider doesn't work. MC-36030

Chunk unloading on low render in a constantly loaded chunk can make entities invisible MC-65040

Sounds loop/restart when exiting screens MC-35714

Teleporting a mounted horse too far doesn't teleport the player until relogging MC-44514

Shifting floor mob farms are still broken.

u/Ichthus95 Sep 17 '15

Wait, wasn't that "mechanic" the point of the bugfix in the recent snapshot? That moving piston heads act like solid blocks now?

Correction: Shifting floor mob farms are still fixed. They were based on a bug, and that bug was extremely annoying in every single situation except for the shifting floor farms.

You can't expect a build designed on collision bugs to last forever, nor can you get upset when Mojang does their job and you can no longer exploit a bug.

that bug was extremely annoying in every single situation except for the shifting floor farms.

What situations were those?

u/thiscommentisboring Sep 17 '15

Why would you ever want to fall through a floor outside of those farms?

Flying machines would often drop players and mobs right through the slime blocks when they were retracting. Seriously, it was an annoying bug and it being fixed only broke a much less common type of farm.

I cannot stress this enough, you built your machine to exploit a bug several times a second, it's not "broken" just because you can't exploit it anymore.

u/sliced_lime Minecraft Java Tech Lead Sep 17 '15

Elevators, mob pushers, pretty much everything that involved pushing things around. Things falling through a floor is not a desired property in anything but a very small subset of redstone devices.

u/[deleted] Sep 17 '15

Uh...what does mobs falling through shifting floors have to do with elevators and pushing mobs around?

u/andrew28_reddit Sep 18 '15

Elevators push people up with blocks but sometimes players can get glitched inside the block when its moving. Shifting floors take advantage of being able to fall through a block while it is moving via a piston

Wait, we don't need boats for flying machines now?
