Crash when you open a chested horse inventory

Karst so you duplicate my bug report on purpose? Dude... Just add the info to THIS bug report.

A screenshot of a chested horse obtained through a 3rd party tool. That can proof the chest texture is in the horse texture.

I thought I would also add that this also happens when you have a chest on a zombie horse and a skeleton horse (I think the texture of the chest on the zombie is a planned feature 😃)

It should definitely be considered a true bug now as you can now summon these horses without using third party programs using the /summon command

type this in to summon a skeleton horse with a chest, the horse will render correctly but it's inventory becomes bugged causing a full game crash.
/summon EntityHorse ~ ~ ~ {ChestedHorse:1,Type:4,Tame:1,SaddleItem:{id:329,Count:1}}

And it would be bad if you want a map and you want a chested horse... Even more as I see you cna get it by an in game command and not only through a 3rd party program.

This Bug is still here :3

Yes, this is very much still an issue and does not require 3rd party programs. I had an admin a few hours ago crash our vanilla server while playing with the /summon command and running /summon EntityHorse ~ ~ ~ {Tame:true,ChestedHorse:true,Type:0}. The command itself works fine but accessing the horse inventory crashes the server. I added a crash report generated after opening the chest.

this is still broken 😃

Just checked and it's fixed in the pre-release.

try putting an item in the chest.... it still crashes.

@Dinnerbone
This should be considered a bug. You can access this feature within the game without using third party programs and it causes a crash.
Is it really such a problem to extend an array to prevent crashing?

Bug still occurring in version 1.8.7!

Tin, as Dinnerbone said over two years ago:

Horses are not supposed to have chests.

Can someone close this, please?

Alright, I just wanted to bring this back, because even after a few years, the crash itself hasn't been fixed.
The possibilty of a horse with a chest could be really cool for mapmakers, and totaly with all new features added in last game. Even in last snapshot (15w36c) the crash still occurs.
How to reproduce:
1. Open a world with cheats enabled.
2. Run the following command /summon EntityHorse ~ ~ ~ {Tame:true,ChestedHorse:true}
3. Open your inventory (Previously the crash would occur now)
4. Place an item in the chest slot from the horse.
5. When placing in the item in this inventory your minecraft will crash.

Yes, as dinnerbone stated, Horses are indeed not supposed to have chests, but it is still possible to do with only a single ingame command.

Just wanted to see reflection of mojang after 2 years. I'd understand it if they won't want to fix it anyways. Though it'd be a bit disappointing. 😉

Can confirm this bug is still present in latest version of the game. @karstvgl gave correct steps to replicate this bug. It should be fixed now considering it can be caused from within the game. @Dinnerbone said no before because it was caused by third party tools, now it is caused by Minecraft commands. Anyone not seeing this is a bug is an oblivious fool (unless someone from Mojang says they don't consider it a bug). I don't see what mods are doing with this?! When this issue was said to be invalid it was because third party tools were used to create it, now it's a very valid issue - code shouldn't break like this. An AI would be doing a better job at keeping track of bugs than mods here (apparently). This is not a hateful comment, it is merely constructive criticism.

Considering Mojang's stance on the matter (Horses are not supposed to have chests), if they were to fix anything, it would be to prevent it from applying the ChestedHorse tag to horses at all, rather than preventing it from crashing when accessing something that shouldn't exist. But they've said before that you're responsible for the consequences of using commands, and they're not interested in spending their time attempting to protect you from doing stupid things with them. Crashing is one way of the game telling you "Don't do that."

We have various tools for tracking activity on the tracker, including a bot, so that's already covered. The Jira software has some limitations that make systematically tracking everything difficult, so sometimes things get missed, or it may take some time for us to respond. In other cases, there's no reason for us to respond at all.

Still a bug in 15w43a. The horses have got entitydata "ChestedHorse:0b" telling that horses can have chests. After switching it via /entitydata to 1b slots are displayed in horse gui and on back of horse is visible chest. After trying to place something in it, minecraft crashes.
[Mod] Torabi, if horses are not supposed to have chests, it should not be able to set ChestedHorse:1b the same way that they can't have set Items[] entitydata, instead of crashing when inventory is inserted.

@unknown, the reason for that is probably that they have so much in common that it is not worth it creating a seperate class for it, but I can understand that this makes no sense.

And as other reports have shown already crashes are never intended / invalid if they can be reproduced in a valid way, so I think even though horses do not support chest, the game should definitely not crash.

Could you please reopen this based on the fact that a crash is probably the not the right solution to this bug

We'll consider it if you can provide a valid usecase for having chested horses.
