Experiencing the same, extremely easy to get yourself stuck. If you're not aiming at the door or the ground below it when you freeze, the only way out is to go into spectator.

Nicholas Rogoza 2019-05-24T19:30:37Z

Going into spectator mode was how I had to get out.

Zack Jenkins 2019-05-24T21:36:20Z

I noticed another strange part of this bug. If you are staring at the door while stuck, right clicking it opens only half of the door.

Mateusz Kukuryka 2019-05-24T21:52:48Z

I can confirm this bug.

Easy way to replicate it is to:

-stand in open door (hinge towards you, let's say opening to the right)

[media][media]

-press forward + right (towards the door) so that you slide very slowly back

-keep right mouse button pressed while sliding back to constantly open/close doors

-when the corner of block is reached you are stuck

[media][media]

Orientation of the door does not matter, it works with doors facing every direction. Once stuck it's very difficult to get out as moving the mouse or placing any blocks is impossible. I once got out by holding forward for few minutes.

I confirm this too,

On Linux Mint,

Just opening the door while standing in the block where the door is gets me stuck. Thankfully the villager woke up and left in the morning, closing the door behind him and I could move again.

To me it looks like you get caught behind the door. Because I was not facing the door I could not close it and I could not rotate my view. Everything else kept working, open inventory, change tool, brake block (but only the one i was facing), I even munched some bread while I was stuck.

Cheers, hope this helps.

I was caught in 2 doors today. Nothing abnormal about how I walked toward and clicked to go through. Worked all times before. 1.14.2 pre-release 4 for me too. First time having this issue in the game.

Ethan M. Shipley 2019-05-24T23:04:33Z

Same issue here. So annoying.

Ryan Montag 2019-05-24T23:55:47Z

I was able to get video of two different versions of this glitch:

I got the same bug as well. What I did was reloaded the world in the 1.14.1 release, and it let me get out of it just fine.

DrownedZombie 2019-05-25T07:27:59Z

do /gamemode spectator or do F3+N to switch to spectator mode. You can easily escape the bug.

user-33d93 2019-05-25T14:24:44Z

I hate this bug, it got me stuck in my survival world.

Jerry pickering 2019-05-25T14:38:39Z

happened in 15 seconds after loading my survival world into pre-release4 and entering my first door....

Corbin Anseeuw 2019-05-25T14:42:49Z

This has me locked in a hallway in Survival, is there any way to unfreeze myself w/o affecting advancements? (sorry if I am the stupid, i'm coming back to minecraft after a few years and am not familar with the advancements)

Ben Wilson 2019-05-25T14:59:07Z

If you have an ender pearl and somewhere to throw it you can free yourself that way.

PancakeIdentity 2019-05-25T18:59:17Z

@Corbin Anseeuw, advancements aren't affected by commands or going to another gamemode.

ednoria 2019-05-25T19:29:20Z

Very annoying bug, seems to have been introduced in 1.14.2 pre-4

Michael Ottinger 2019-05-26T00:32:37Z

Just experienced this bug multiple times while streaming on twitch. Rolling back to pre-3 fixed it so seems to be new with pre-4

Jeremy 2019-05-26T00:36:05Z

Seems to also occur with trapdoors and bamboo if it grows when you're in the block. Also, this is not fixed upon relog and you also can't break blocks in this state, making it a very bad bug.

Corbin Anseeuw 2019-05-26T00:53:23Z

@Emma
I'm in a world that doesn't have commands available. Do you know of any other methods to escape this bug?

qwerty23495 2019-05-26T01:17:55Z

@unknown
Is your world singleplayer? If so, you can open the world to LAN on the pause screen, then use

/gamemode spectator

to move out of the way, and then

/gamemode survival

to return to normal gameplay.

Can also confirm in 1.14.2 pre-4 that I can "trap" myself in a Fence Gate by closing it while moving through it, resulting in this player movement pseudo-soft-lock.

ZaenonWP 2019-05-26T04:58:37Z

This also can occur with Linux. I use Ubuntu Linux (Kubuntu flavour) 18.10, and while I was in a superflat world I created with a high village density, I ended up getting stuck in a door like this issue details.

AchooTea 2019-05-26T19:39:25Z

I'm playing on 1.14.2 Pre-Release 4, and I get this bug as well. Additionally, I sometimes get stuck in blocks while swimming. I'm not sure if it's caused by the same issue that makes players become stuck in doors.

Mike Dedmon 2019-05-26T20:37:30Z

I'm also experiencing this on 2 different 1.14.2 Prerelease-4 servers. It usually happens when I approach a door, right click on it and continue through. This is usually all in one motion, like you would do out of habit on in a familiar building / village. I had to switch to Spectator mode and move a few blocks forward. Even switching to creative mode doesn't help.

Also - I'm playing in Java on OSX, but one of my team mates in using Java on Win 10. She has also experienced this as well. I had to TP her to me to get her out of the door.

Rafael Mejia 2019-05-27T04:26:53Z

Can confirm, happens way too often in 1.14.2 Pre-Release 4

Lyzzi DC 2019-05-27T12:04:21Z

just happened to me twice on a Single Player world in 1.14.2 Pre-Release 4

Leevi Termonen 2019-05-27T12:11:35Z

Happened to me too twice. Second time I got stuck inside a trapdoor.

@Skyscraper, this report is only for the Java edition and describes a bug introduced in Java version 1.14.2 pre-release 4.

Thomas Ferguson 2019-05-27T14:03:42Z

Same problem, just thought I'd add my experience with it. I am not in a server, just playing single mode on my laptop Win10. Updated to the same snapshot, 1.14.2 pre-4.

When stuck, I could not be killed by mobs. I was finally released the first time by a creeper blowing up the door. Phantoms would not hit me, and I was stuck going into the house (therefor, outside.)

I could not release myself by going into Creative mode, only Spectator, which was very interesting.

Here is a youtube video of it occurring to a different player: https://youtu.be/uhmS83Eq9ZU?t=1316

I see in Reddit that another player reverted to 1.13 and he was released, then returned to 1.14.2, not sure whether he was using the pre-release 4.

There is a similar problem when trying to exit a boat, but this is older I believe.

That is all.

Good luck,

It just happened to me in 1.15.2. I didn't get stuck but the door sliced in half like that and I couldn't get through. Fence gates were acting up as well.

Loek van Vucht 2020-01-26T12:33:30Z

IR, were you on a server?

IR 2020-01-27T02:53:09Z

@Loek van Vucht, no It was a single-player Java world

Loek van Vucht 2020-01-28T08:45:46Z

I can't reproduce it. The internal server for your world may have been lagging when you were going through doors. Are there many entities or farms going on near those chunks?
