[MC-13838] SMP Mounting Horse NPE

I tried mounting a horse bareback in SMP and the server kicks me: Internal Exception - NullPointerException.

There's no stacktrace on the server console, only me disconnecting and a single line of debug code.

Uh, sorry. The search link on the MC dashboard yields all of three results for "Future Version - 1.6". Since the link is unlabeled, I had assumed it was existing issues. After scanning the descriptions for "horse", I decided the bug hadn't been reported yet. However, I didn't notice that the search query is for Resolved + Fixed bugs.

This is somewhat misleading to someone quickly trying to drop in a bug report. Perhaps the search should be labeled to reflect what the link actually leads to.

There shouldn't be any bugs for 1.6. They should be filed under 13w16a.

Josh Johnson 2013-04-19T00:26:35Z

In that case, there shouldn't be any Fixed Bugs either. >.>

Why not? By marking a bug as fixed in a specific future version, that means that while they may have not fixed it in any public release (stable, snapshot, or pre-release), but intend to do so for that version. However, anyone not on the dev team has no ability to determine whether or not a bug will exist in a future version, and in fact, by reporting a bug, you're decreasing the likelihood of that bug surviving in the future version. Thus, marking a bug as existing in a future version based on its existence in a current version is silly and contradictory behavior. Not to mention makes keeping track of bugs difficult, which works against the whole purpose of having a bug tracker.
