[MC-417] Arrows first bounce back then appear at correct location

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.

Bora Sanuk 2012-10-27T09:29:30Z

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.

Jason Webb 2013-04-02T02:20:35Z

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.

Tails 2013-05-05T17:56:04Z

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.

Jason Webb 2013-05-05T18:10:22Z

I am checking now. Stand by

Jason Webb 2013-05-05T18:12:28Z

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).

Tails 2013-05-05T18:17:54Z

Unable to reproduce in 13w18c aswell, resolving.

Qwert 2013-07-08T00:33:16Z

Confirmed in 1.6.2 pre. Very annoying.

Bora Sanuk 2013-07-08T07:26:17Z

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.

Qwert 2013-07-08T07:37:02Z

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.

Bora Sanuk 2013-07-08T07:38:57Z

Adding 1.6.1 as well.

Leif 2013-09-13T13:41:30Z

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.

Color Fusion 2014-02-17T11:48:33Z

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.

Depotato 2014-02-26T09:47:37Z

I noticed that fire arrows work fine 😛

Qwert 2014-03-10T22:42:57Z

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

Polar Slayer 2014-03-15T09:36:04Z

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

EnderKingHD 2014-05-05T17:23:54Z

Yeah it happened to me to on the snapshot 14w18b

Anorma 2014-05-29T12:46:13Z

It still happens in 14w21b.

Joaquin Ortiz 2014-06-25T01:27:59Z

Confirmed for 14w25b.

Joaquin Ortiz 2014-06-26T17:21:38Z

Fixed in 14w26c

Color Fusion 2014-07-14T19:50:03Z

Still present in 14w28b.

Bora Sanuk 2014-07-14T20:15:56Z

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?

Color Fusion 2014-07-14T20:47:49Z

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.

BoxFigs 2014-08-28T17:37:45Z

Still happens in 1.8-pre3.

Aaron Rhodes 2014-09-09T21:13:39Z

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

QwertyuiopThePie 2014-09-24T15:59:50Z

Very much unresolved, and very much annoying.

yuliang99 2014-10-25T01:33:23Z

Don't tell me it's cannot be fixed

Color Fusion 2015-02-19T17:20:23Z

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

PsychoLynx 2015-02-20T18:08:25Z

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

Bora Sanuk 2015-02-21T09:11:32Z

Added 1.8.2 to affected versions list.

xlash123 2015-02-27T02:21:23Z

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?

Jeremy 2015-03-05T18:40:27Z

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.

Jeremy 2015-03-05T18:43:05Z

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

kumasasa 2015-04-29T22:30:01Z

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

DeletedUser 2015-07-02T14:20:33Z

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.

user-f2760 2015-07-02T14:57:27Z

it's fixed for 1.9

Alawnely 2015-07-30T03:55:38Z

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

Sonicwave 2015-07-30T06:29:55Z

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)

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

Krimsar 2015-10-01T20:04:41Z

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 😉

Dlawso the Really Lucky Rabbit 2015-10-29T19:50:39Z

Fixed in 15w44a, possibly earlier.

[Mod] redstonehelper 2015-10-29T19:56:06Z

Not fixed in 15w44a.

Dlawso the Really Lucky Rabbit 2015-10-29T20:02:24Z

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

[Mod] redstonehelper 2015-10-29T20:04:55Z

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

Dlawso the Really Lucky Rabbit 2015-10-29T20:09:48Z

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

Steven W.d.V. 2015-10-31T20:45:55Z

Confirmed for 15w44b

wobst.michael 2015-11-05T17:39:09Z

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.

[Mod] redstonehelper 2015-11-06T19:15:33Z

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

Emre Kisacikoglu 2016-07-02T19:42:44Z

This is back in 1.10?

Ben Noble 2016-07-18T21:40:56Z

Confirmed for 1.8.9

CubeTheThird 2016-07-18T21:57:42Z

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