[MC-13632] Horses can be pushed into blocks and then take suffocation damage

I was derping around with horses in creative, when I noticed that a baby horse was taking damage. Upon further testing (surrounding a horse with blocks) I found that if a horse is pushed too far into a block then it will take damage.

I think this is actually a duplicate of a similar issue.

Dylan Rivers 2013-04-18T19:06:24Z

Maybe, I did check and couldn't see one

Justin 2013-04-19T08:33:22Z

I can confirm this. I've seen it happen countless times, it seems that in an attempt to get around the block they keep pushing them selves through it then get stuck and suffocate to death.

It happens in survival also.

Confirmed.

Dylan Rivers 2013-05-10T18:55:32Z

Thank you for the change

This is a bug that all animal has. They should finally rewrite the animal code. I can confirm this for horses too.

If they step near a block, instead of stopping or bouncing off of it, they melt into it and die of suffocation damage.

I tested out 13w22a then spawned a bunch of baby horses from an adult horse and they all started walking down the hill and suffocating.

Confirmed.
.I also added a few screenshots.

Still happens in 13w25c !

Matteo Rainer 2013-06-23T10:22:15Z

it still happens in 13w25c, it's really annoying, please fix it!

Elijah Miller 2013-06-25T14:59:34Z

In 13w26a it does it also i first noticed it with the hay block.

Eric Campa 2013-06-25T15:25:50Z

I spawned a bunch of horses, including baby horses when I placed a bunch of hay blocks around and the baby horses randomly sufficated and died. Some adult horses were effected but it was mostly the babys. :,(

It's not just horses. That's why I opened another ticket. It also affects all other mobs except players.

Kate Lenthall 2013-06-28T08:56:13Z

So far in one world I've lost three baby horses to this problem. One time it happened on the single hay bale I had near the baby and parents, who were all tied to the same post. Another time I had the parents in a small fenced-in area attached to a house (area was probably 5x5 or so) and the baby, once it spawned, got stuck in the side of the house and died. It's pretty annoying, since Golden Apples aren't super easy to come by/make.

This happens a lot. Now that foals are so expensive, this problem is really devistating. It can be prevented by making sure the foal is fenced on flat ground, but it would be nice to be able to put them in a stable.

Dylan Rivers 2013-07-01T10:46:43Z

Are you serious? Surely this is a bug which should be fixed before release, or maybe you could fix it for a 1.6.2 in a few weeks, but waiting until 1.7 is ridiculous.

Erik Broes 2013-07-01T10:49:46Z

Everything 'fixed for the future' will be in the next release version, be that 1.6.2 or 1.7.

Dylan Rivers 2013-07-01T10:52:00Z

Well as long as you fix MC-119 then OK

Also if you spawn a horse in the corner next to a solid block, the horse will start taking damage.

Name Here 2013-07-07T02:45:39Z

Happens in 1.6.1, lost a high health, high jump, high speed foal this way. and woo!! sudos to me, i searched before i posted this bug.

Pongo Sapiens 2013-07-08T15:13:08Z

This still happens in 1.6.2 SMP - I just upgraded my server and first thing that happened was I bumped my horse into a wall and it suffocated to death. The wall was jungle wood planks and the horse was wearing iron armor.

Dylan Rivers 2013-07-09T18:49:09Z

Oh dear still in 1.6.2

Frank Tourian 2013-07-12T14:18:16Z

I was building a barn for my horse collection. It killed three of my horses and one escaped right through the wall. So, this is definitely not fixed in 1.6.2.

How can we report to Mojang that an issue is still unresolved? Or do we have to create a new bug report?

Dylan Rivers 2013-07-12T15:31:38Z

Can a mod reopen this please?

Anon Ymus 2013-07-12T15:40:20Z

We're using MC-23962 instead.

Cynips 2014-01-06T09:16:25Z

Horses still suffocate themselves in walls...

NekoJonez 2014-04-11T10:47:08Z

This should be re-opened. I was able to do this in 14w11b

Rob G 2014-09-10T14:59:47Z

Should be reopened. Using spawn egg in creative mode will sometimes spawn horse partially inside a block and the horse will be stuck and suffocate in 1.8 official release.

Kate Lenthall 2014-09-11T05:53:07Z

I've seen randomly spawned horses suffocate in blocks when there isn't enough space for them, like when a group spawns near a hill; this has been a problem since horses were introduced (and wasn't a problem when using Mo' Creatures" and has continued to be a problem all the way through into 1.8.
