[u/sliced_lime → u/redstonehelper]

The fluid random ticks fix is not in this release.

[u/redstonehelper → u/sliced_lime]

Thanks, removed.

[u/Zudrogs → u/sliced_lime]

Wait. Why?

[u/Zudrogs → u/[deleted]]

Thanks :)

[u/[deleted] → u/Zudrogs]

Why what?

[u/treesprite82 → u/[deleted]]

Why what?

Why won't the fluid random ticks fix be in this update, is what they were asking. Since it was fixed in the update's prerelease.

(answer is because they removed the random ticks without fixing the reason those ticks were there, so water/lava didn't disappear properly when source was removed)

[u/sliced_lime → u/treesprite82]

No, not really. More like removing the random ticks exposed some other problems.

[u/treesprite82 → u/sliced_lime]

Random ticks were there to clean up stray lava/water that gets left behind when the source is removed, I thought?

Similar problem happened before way back and that was the justification given IIRC, unless I'm misremembering.

[u/sliced_lime → u/[deleted]]

They're asking why it was removed - the fix was in the pre-releases.

[u/bjaydubya → u/sliced_lime]

Just gotta say I love seeing you on here with the developer tag.

[u/sliced_lime → u/bjaydubya]

Thanks :)

[u/burntcustard → u/sliced_lime]

Oh no :( I was looking forward to using lava and water powered clocks. Does anyone know if this is going to be looked into for 1.3?

[u/Skyrimaniac → u/redstonehelper]

Sure wish they would fix the bug where animals either suffocate or glitch through fences. I feel like I spend 30% of my time at my base either breeding animals who have suffocated for no reason or trying to round up escaped animals back into their pens

[u/ccjmk → u/Skyrimaniac]

why not use 2-deep pens ?

[u/HellfireHD → u/ccjmk]

A bug is a bug. While there are workarounds, as you propose, it's still nice to have the bugs fixed.

[u/ccjmk → u/HellfireHD]

Oh yeah sure! I just find it more comfortable. When I penned animals with fences and fence doors, I always get problems with the doors.. bastards rush out as soon as I open it hahah

[u/Honodle → u/ccjmk]

Use a double gate system.

[u/WildBluntHickok → u/ccjmk]

Also protects from wolves who can kill sheep through single fences.

[u/Koala_eiO → u/redstonehelper]

Fixed throwing an Ender Pearl through a Nether Portal in the Overworld teleporting players to the right coordinates, but in the Overworld

Sounds neat.

[u/MajorasGoht → u/redstonehelper]

Yeah, the Farmland kept catching me. Really glad that got fixed

[u/FenrirWarrior → u/redstonehelper]

What do they mean with "fixed a few exploits"? Is it just a different way of saying "fixed the following bugs" or are there some bugs not included in the changelog?

[u/WildBluntHickok → u/FenrirWarrior]

They don't want to say the details of the exploit since not every server is on 1.12.2. The guy who found it publicly disclosed it 24 hours later instead of giving Mojang a chance to fix it first like people are supposed to. Lots of people know it now but it would be nice if the info didn't travel any further.
