It is possible to break blocks above the player which are out of reach of the player's normal range.

The Bug:

By using a combination of continuous jumping and mining (achieved through holding Spacebar and Left-click on PC), it is possible to break a block above the player which is out of the player’s normal mining range.

Expected Result:

  • The player should not be able to break the block.

  • The block should remain unbroken unless the player pillars up and breaks it.

Actual Result:

  • The player is able to break the block using any tool, and obtain it (if mined with the correct tool.)

How to test:

  • Make sure you are holding your Spacebar and Left-click, or any other key which is assigned to perform the functions of jumping and mining.

  • Place a block above the player which is out of the player’s mining radius.

  • While jumping, continuously mine the block during the split second when it is in the player’s mining radius. The block will remain in a semi-broken state instead of reverting back to an unbroken state each time.

  • Eventually, the block will break and also drop if mined with the correct tool.

  • Note: the block does take much longer to break using this method.
