Arrows first bounce back then appear at correct location

Bora, does MC-547 sound like the same issue to you?

If it's a different issue, please provide more information and we'll reopen this.

No, similar but no. My problem is it bounces of facing down/backwards close to you, like there is a ghost block. Then it just lands where it should land.

Alright, thanks for your reply... I'll reopen it.

Oh I think I figured it out. Here is the story; I wanted to try the update, so I did not search for mods I use, which includes a HD texture pack patcher. When I updated, I had a HD t.pack (broken since I have no patcher) and arrows did that. Then I downgraded so I could play on servers still. I played on 1.4.2 to test it again and I realized it works fine with default t.pack. Thanks for your interest, have a good day!

I got the same issue, the arrows just freeze where they spawn (when shot) jitter in mid-air for about 1-3 sec depending on it's normal "air-time", then go back on their normal trajectory.
For me, the bug happened on creative mode, in the Snowy Kingdom Superflat preset after about 2 hours in... i have a feeling time could be the cause.
It was easily fixed by relogging and it did no happen before.
I have no plugins nor texture pack installed.

I hope these extra specifications can help. ^_

Still occurring in 1.4.5. Makes it hard to see if you're aiming high/low because the arrow is not shown in flight.

Quitting Minecraft and restarting sometimes fixes the problem but not always.

This is what happens on my Vanilla MC v1.5.1. Arrow only returns to normal position (stuck in button), when I log off then back on.

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

I am checking now. Stand by

MC 1.5.2, vanilla, seems to be fine. Arrows do not bounce back from buttons, at least on my jar (using the old launcher).

Unable to reproduce in 13w18c aswell, resolving.

Confirmed in 1.6.2 pre. Very annoying.

I have not had this issue since I posted it, FYI. Might it be client lag related?

Edit: Also, added 1.6.2 to affected versions. Thanks Qwert.

I have tried this on two computers, both of which caused the arrows to bounce off an invisible object before landing, then glitching back to the intended target. 1.5 fixed it, but 1.6.1 (The full update) brought it back.

Adding 1.6.1 as well.

Also affects 13w37b.
Reproduction: Take a bow, shoot. Happens both in creative and survival.
Now something additional came: The arrows' direction in at their target is not the expected but the one they had when fallen down. Made a bug report for that: MC-30988

Please reopen.

Affects 14w07a, video:

Please reopen this, incredibly off putting when you're trying to shoot players/mobs and you can't see where your arrows go.

I noticed that fire arrows work fine 😛

I've had this issue again in 14w10c. This is really off-putting. The gameplay is unaffected, but the visual is weird.

Still in snapshot 14w11b.
Annoying for my arrow target game

Yeah it happened to me to on the snapshot 14w18b

It still happens in 14w21b.

Confirmed for 14w25b.

Fixed in 14w26c

Still present in 14w28b.

OP here, and I'm surprised. It hasn't happened to me since I filed it. Interesting.

We haven't seen a mod comment in a while, I feel like this bug isn't getting enough attention. [Mod] Kumasasa bumped it recently (check Transactions Summary) but still. Those who use Twitter, maybe you could tweet about this?

I've had it happen about 4 times, only ever in creative worlds so far. It's definitely very annoying when it does happen though, and is usually persistent through reloading the world.

Due to the amount of duplicates, I'd judge that it's reasonably common.

Still happens in 1.8-pre3.

Still happens in 1.8, usually exiting the game completely and reentering fixes it until it happens again (rarely).

Very much unresolved, and very much annoying.

Don't tell me it's cannot be fixed

Not fixed. Still very much present in 1.8.2. Can provide video if necessary.

Seconded. It really makes using bows a pain. Please fix!

Added 1.8.2 to affected versions list.

This is really weird. I was just having this problem and now it's not happening. When I first saw it, I thought something weird happen in Minecraft so I shut down the client. After that, the bug still persisted. Then I logged out of my single player world for a bout 5 minutes, went back on, and it went away. Any explanations for that?

Confirmed for 1.8.3 on Windows 7 Java 8. Arrow appears to simply drop a block in front of the area when fired and does not render properly when flying through the air. When it hits the ground or a block it will render in the correct block. Please fix this bug it makes bows almost unusable.

Relogging seems to have fixed the issue but it is still strange that it happened at all exactly as this bug is described.

Fixed for next version: https://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/349t08/nathan_adams_on_twitter_if_the_players_entity_id/cqt0dcw

Happend in 1.8.7, restart did not fix. Made new world efter restart, it had no problem, enterd world that had problem without restart, problem fixed in old world. Lots of gamerules set to false in original world with problem, all with regards to drops.

it's fixed for 1.9

Not fixed in 15w31a but did NOT happen in previous versions.

See: MC-83717, MC-83056, MC-83675, MC-83152 (which was resolved as duplicate), MC-83276; seems to show that issue still exists in current version.

(Also I'm not sure if MC-83684 could be related)

Confirmed in 15w31b.

[16:48:25] [Server thread/INFO]: redstonehelper[local:E:780e59af] logged in with entity id 0 at (13.5, 4.0, -236.5)

Me i can't see the EnderDragon in this version, it 's a bug on my game ?

This also happens in snapshot 15w32c

Still in 33b ;(

Confirmed for

• 15w36d Again when the player has the entity id 0

• 15w37a

Still present in 15w39c, but takes a while to kick in.

Also still in 15w40b, has been for a few snapshots now and happens with every shot. Looks like I'm shooting under water. Kinda improves my aim though 😉

Fixed in 15w44a, possibly earlier.

Not fixed in 15w44a.

Are you positively sure, redstonehelper? I seriously cannot reproduce this in 44a at all.

Sonic: Create a new superflat world, preferably without any other entities able to spawn, and shoot a bow.

Created a world with "The Void" preset so no entities spawn. Reproduced.

Confirmed for 15w44b

The 'fix' in 15w45a made the arrow mechanic even worse for me. Now if the MultiplayerChunkCache (check that in F3) hasn't finished loading, which happens pretty often with a higher render-distance and moving around, and you shoot an arrow it has a pretty low momentum and doesnt travel far.

@unknown: That sounds like a separate issue. Please create a new ticket for that.

This is back in 1.10?

Confirmed for 1.8.9

@unknown, please don't confirm issues for old and unsupported versions, particularly if they've already been marked as fixed.
