Creating or loading a singleplayer world shows the main menu for a brief second

Mine has done that for a very long time.

I too remember this occurring for quite a while.

It's just your video card initialising. Lots of games do that.

Mead, I think not. That effect was always in multiplayer and in singleplayer after the merger of singleplayer and multiplayer.

Reopening. I think this is a valid issue.

still present in current snapshot. you load a world. the screen flashes the main menu 2 times.

This has happened to me since about version 1.3. Also in older versions if you click the "play selected world" button, the click will not play until the game has flashed back to the menu.

You can crash the game if you open a second world during the loading process of the first using this bug (MC-3766).

Is this still a concern in the latest Minecraft version 14w02c? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.

Still does it in 14w02c.

Still in 30c.

Present in 1.8.

Still in 1.8.1

confirmed in Snapshot 15w31a

Finally fixed in 15w34b. Thank gosh!

Resolved

Sometimes when this bug occurs for me (in 1.8.x, not 1.9 snapshots where it's fixed), if the title screen flicker is slow enough (which it often is), I click to enter the world a second time. Then the world loads, but something occurs so that my player slowly sinks through the floor (and no amount of switching gamemode to survival helps) and falls into the void and dies. This is a different behavior than is reported at MC-48211, where they say entering the same world twice just causes the game to crash.

I wonder whether the newly closed bug MC-92079 in 1.9-pre3 is the same or a related underlying bug.

that was an stangr thig
