[MC-163575] Rain and snow render through blocks when picking up items or experience orbs

The bug

While the player (or an entity, such as a villager) picks up an item and it is raining, the rain will be visible through all, even solid, blocks. This only seems to happen when clouds are turned off and graphics are set to fancy.

To reproduce

Set "Clouds" to "OFF"
Set "Graphics" to "Fancy"
Go into a cave
Run /weather rain
Pick up an item
→ ❌ The rain will be visible through blocks

Could you attach a short video of the issue? I was unable to reproduce.

Also, does this only happen in older worlds or in a newly created world as well?

Sawyer Ziebell 2019-10-13T13:46:52Z

This happened both on a new world and on a world I've been playing for a while (no mods, resources packs...)

PappaDavid 2019-11-22T16:49:21Z

Here's a video. https://youtu.be/UXK6G64mU2Y

Also, I'm tempted to report the bug reporter, because no matter how thorough I try to find duplicates, I always fail. Or maybe I should report me as a bug…?

KennethDev 2019-12-11T16:40:19Z

I was able to reproduce this bug in the final release of 1.15

https://youtu.be/lk35GbH3X4g

The video is a bit laggy, but I showed the debug screen at the beginning of the video. Near the end, I show that the rain renders through stone when picking up a block

W_V 2019-12-12T17:16:55Z

If this is not resolved, then WHY cannot I see this happening?

You are simply not affected by this bug...

W_V 2019-12-12T18:23:24Z

But it was happening when I was at 1.15. Does it still work for you at 1.15.1pre1?

The bug only appears for me when my Graphics are set to Fancy. Fast doesn't make it happen.

Tom Gil 2019-12-20T15:05:32Z

It's happening whether graphics is set to Fancy or Fast. Same with All the particles' options.

Luke A Compton-Burnett 2019-12-26T09:53:45Z

I am having this issue on a server in 1.15.1 and it doesn't seem to be just when i pick up items: https://medal.tv/clips/13872408/d1337rH97CtC

violine1101 2019-12-31T00:03:23Z

I was finally able to confirm this.

It's still unclear to me when exactly this issue occurs and why I wasn't able to reproduce this previously, but to me, it seems to be linked to the "Clouds" setting - it only happens if clouds are turned off and if graphics are set to fancy.

silpho 2020-02-07T19:55:27Z

@violine1101 seems to be right. I was experiencing this bug when my clouds were off. Turning clouds to Fast or Fancy fixes the problem. Changing graphics from Fancy to Fast didn't seem to make a difference to me though.

(This test was carried out in 1.15.2)

Tokes 2020-02-10T04:31:41Z

Confirmed for 20w06a.

Gabrijel 2020-02-14T18:57:23Z

Affects 20w07a

Gabrijel 2020-03-25T20:21:50Z

Affects 20w13a.

Skin E. Cohk 2020-04-01T19:33:39Z

Maybe it has something to do with MC-161917? This bug means rain doesn't show up behind clouds, and if you turn clouds off you see rain when you pick up items.

Josie Fritsch 2020-04-20T18:14:26Z

20w16a digging underground picking up blocks rain will render.

Noah Wells 2020-04-23T19:32:30Z

confirmed 20w17a

Maxence MENIF 2020-04-24T14:02:34Z

Confirmed in 20w17a and you don't need to take anything to reproduce it : rain is rendering naturally indoor no matter what.

Akmal Auzaie 2020-04-27T01:46:42Z

I've tried changing the cloud set to off, fast and fancy. Unfortunately, the rain still appearing in the cave.
Somehow if you destroy the block that is affected by the rain in the cave and placing it with another block(can be the same block), the rain stopped appearing in that block only.

The version of Minecraft that I use is 20w17a.

Daisy Jett 2020-04-30T13:52:37Z

confirmed for 20w18a

Christopher McElroy 2020-05-09T00:40:42Z

It seems to matter whether the clouds render. When clouds are off, the rain shows inside even when render distance is extremely high. However, when I set my render distance to 2 chunks, the cloud (and graphics) settings no longer matter; it always shows the rain inside. This stops with a render distance of 4 chunks. Since this was done at y=66 (and 4x16+66 = 130), it seems like I’m changing whether or not the clouds are loaded.

I failed to recreate this issue on my singleplayer world, so it could be a multiplayer issue (or exacerbated by poor connection?)

Marián Kováč 2020-05-14T08:18:20Z

any way to fix this on server?

tom peel 2020-05-22T07:06:13Z

I've Seen This Bug Too, The Only Way To Stop It Before This Bug Is Fixed Is To Just Break And Replace The Block The Rain Is Falling Through.

Oh Yeah Me Too, And For Some Reason, This Is A Title?

Jakub Chlapec 2020-05-22T14:56:09Z

Confirmed for 20w21a... The rain goes through the dirt and wooden slabs, through glasses as well.

jeff 2020-05-26T19:37:37Z

this issue also occurs when picking up xp

TheBoy358 2020-05-30T14:15:23Z

It still an issue in 20w22a ?

Artimipa 2020-06-02T14:14:37Z

Fixed in 20w22a, but raindrops disappear when picking up an item, even if you are on the surface.

CalXee 2020-06-02T15:12:59Z

@Artyom I have tried picking up items on the surface and rain isn't disappearing. What settings did you have on?

Artimipa 2020-06-02T17:00:19Z

@CalXee Clouds: OFF, Graphics: Fancy

CalXee 2020-06-03T17:46:54Z

Thanks, I reproduced it.
Perhaps they should change the summary of the bug report? (Rain and snow render behind blocks when picking up items or experience orbs)?
Edit: As well as the steps to reproduce.

Kurpol 2020-06-08T08:50:46Z

In 1.16pre2 this bug still exists.

Chase 2020-06-12T16:03:13Z

When playing a world that I first created in an earlier 1.16 snapshot (the one where bastions were added, which I think is 20w16a) and it was raining, I noticed this exact issue, as well as that there were large gaps between the snow/rain showers and that the rain would stop at a certain y-level, regardless of how much air/surface came before it. Changing the Graphics settings and/or Clouds settings does NOT help the issue. Optimizing the old world doesn't fix it either.

Based on my analysis, this only happens when playing older worlds (not sure how old) but when I loaded a new world in 1.16 pre5, the rain was working just fine. Also I loaded a world from a relatively recent snapshot (I think this one is 20w21a) and the rain/snow was working well too.

Not absolutely sure how a world being loaded from a certain previous version would mean these issues, but I guess one place to start looking is the .dat file, as it bears in mind if a world was created in a certain update. Just an assumption.

This issue currently exists in 1.16 pre5.

Adam Tilley 2020-06-17T00:25:25Z

I have had this issue as well @Chase. The snow on my world which dates back from 1.14 has been messed up since an early snapshot of 1.16. As Chase describes the snow and rain can appear below ground and this actually isn't just a visual glitch. Snow can be produced underground or in buildings. The snow outside falls in strange lines that have no pattern. In the negative space, there is simply no weather at all.

There needs to be some kind of fix in a snapshot which checks the biome and then implements the correct weather across every block. Sort of a one time fix but I don't know what other option there is since this is so rare and only prevalent on apparently older worlds.

Tokes 2020-07-14T11:39:01Z

If you have REAL snow underground you opened your world in a corrupted snapshot (20w17 or 18 I think). It has been fixed but the fix just prevents the corruption from happening to your world it doesn't fix it if you already have it. There is a fix for it but I forget offhand (something about clearing buffers in the open world screen?)

[Mod] markderickson 2020-07-15T01:40:29Z

Hi there!

Here's the link to MC-179845 which gives some more information on how to fix a corrupted world due to precipitation falling through blocks, if anyone is still experiencing this issue after opening their world in snapshot 20w17a.

CalXee 2020-07-22T16:49:29Z

Cannot reproduce in 20w30a. I think it's fixed 🙂

wobst.michael 2020-07-23T11:47:07Z

Can someone else who experienced this before confirm that this is no longer an issue as of snapshot 20w30a?

Artimipa 2020-09-11T21:07:31Z

Affects for 1.16-pre6 and 1.16-pre7. But can't be reproduced in 1.16-pre8.

muzikbike 2020-09-30T00:25:35Z

Cannot reproduce in 1.16.3 either - presumed fixed. The lack of duplicates since pre5 is also pretty indicative.

awesome90 2020-10-04T00:59:09Z

It affects 1.16.3

wobst.michael 2021-03-19T13:25:06Z

Can this still be reproduced in 21w11a or later?
