player character occasionally "teleports" to a new location. so far, all teleports have been within a 1-chunk radius of the player's starting position, and all have occurred during engagements with hostile mobs. the new position does not appear to be affected by the direction or velocity of player movement. one of these "teleports" occurred while player character was standing still, moving it from the top of a roof to a spot on the ground near the house.

it definitely looked and felt a lot like lag, except that i did not notice any sluggishness or framerate issues. The other thing that seemed strange to me was the fact that the shifts in position did not seem related to any of the player's previous positions, or to the player's _ current trajectory, or to button inputs. i do not know what lag typically looks like in Minecraft, but in most games i would expect to jump _either backward to where i was a few seconds ago or forward in the direction i was headed. These jumps seemed much less predictable.
Was the game lagging, and perhaps you "rubberbanded" back?
