I tried multiple times on different worlds with cleaned out minecraft jars to just place a sapling on the ground. Every time i tried to the game glitched out (pictures below). I can exit out of minecraft and reload that same world only to find the world still locked in that way.
Way to trigger it
Pick up a sapling
then hold the sapling in your hand.
The game glitched out no matter what i did with the sapling, throwing it away or placing it on the ground.
Please help because i want to play minecraft. Thank you.
Environment
Windows 8, latest java update.
This happens to me as well. I've deleted all my minecraft files and reinstalled but this still happens. Guess I won't have a tree farm anytime soon. Very frustrating.
