The Bug
Introduced in 24w20a.
When a Carrot on a Stick breaks due to boosting a Pig, or a Warped Fungus on a Stick breaks due to boosting a Strider, it no longer returns a full-durability Fishing Rod, as it had done in 1.20.6 (24w19b) and before. Instead, the fishing rod is damaged, depending on the item it was before breakage:
Item Before Breakage | Durability Lost on Fishing Rod | Durability Remaining on Fishing Rod |
|---|---|---|
Carrot on a Stick | 25 | 39/64 |
Warped Fungus on a Stick | 100* | 0/64 (technically -36/64)* |
*Viewing the durability of this fishing rod in an NBT editor shows the damage to be 100, so the durability of the fishing rod would be -36/64. However, it shows as 0 in Minecraft due to the fix of MC-259587.
See the videos attached.
How to Reproduce
Enable advanced tooltips by pressing F3+H to see the total durability remaining on the items.
In a 1.20.6 (or 24w19b) world, run this command for a Carrot on a Stick:
/give @s minecraft:carrot_on_a_stick[damage=24]Or this command for a Warped Fungus on a Stick:
/give @s minecraft:warped_fungus_on_a_stick[damage=99]Saddle a Pig/Strider, and, in Survival mode, use the Carrot/Warped Fungus on a Stick to boost the saddled creature.
✔ Note how the item breaks and turns into a full-durability Fishing Rod.
In a 24w21b world, run the commands above. Saddle a Pig/Strider and use the Carrot/Warped Fungus on a Stick to boost the Pig/Strider in Survival mode.
❌ Note how the item breaks, but the Fishing Rod in its place has 25 or 100 of its durability lost, depending on if it was a Carrot on a Stick or Warped Fungus on a Stick that broke, respectively.
Can confirm. This also affects warped fungus on a stick, which turns into a fishing rod with 100 damage upon break.
