KnightMiner 2014-05-08T17:05:38Z

Likely because the top part of the flower renders based on what it detects below it (and the sunflower is the double plant with a damage value of 0)

Christopher Martin 2014-06-16T00:24:01Z

Blah and Marquis Owens,

Yes, only a mod can do this. No, don't expect any action any time soon. There are so many bugs in the 14w snapshot branch now I am starting to think Mojang don't know where to start in debugging. They are going through a core code re-design (refactoring some mods have called it) and it's actually introducing bugs. At the same time they are insisting on adding new features, further complicating the already monumental job. Is that smart? I'll let you decide, but they don't seem very interested in making their process more professional, no matter how willing they are to take money for products and services.

I haven't saw this issue yet...sorry 😃

rene_z 2014-06-25T14:56:35Z

The issue occurs because of the way the data IDs work.
Each double plant contains a bit for upper or lower, the additional bits are used for variant on the bottom half and orientation on the top half.
This means that the top half alone can't "know" their variant.

You can observe this with the debug screen (F3) and looking at the data in the top right when aiming at the top and bottom half of a double plant.

This issue will probably be resolved when the new block state mechanisms are fully implemented and there can be stored more information per block.

I should also mention you don't have to place it you can place a block on the bottom half of the double grass will do the same but on the previous snapshot 26c you can't place blocks on the grass also

neewom 2014-09-03T13:09:05Z

Overwatch C-17: "confirmed" in comments means that that person has experienced that bug in an updated release. "Confirmed" as as a status on the bug itself (up there at the top, with "assigned to," and all the other bug info), I'm guessing is that someone in the Mojang team has duplicated the bug successfully as part of their workflow and will get around to assigning its fix eventually. Not that I think 400 bug testers need to each leave a "Confirmed for v123" comment, but you'll see it on any bug that's been around for more than one version.

Christopher Carrig 2014-09-05T12:03:56Z

For me, it's been flashing Peony as the top block whenever I break a two-block tall flower. I also noticed a single tall grass block with peony as the top block, but it reverted to normal grass when broken.

I wonder, does anyone else have MC-11834 happening around the time this happens to them (the "has no item" error)? Could the two be connected? It seemed to coincide for me.

Ryan Wild 2014-12-23T19:04:07Z

@Lucas

Normally a 2.0 (Or anything with X.0.0) implies some major major changes, like a complete re-write or something like that. I'd imagine that unless Mojang do a major change they will just continue with 1.X until they do, that way it keeps it clean with versioning.

Videogamer555,

I know it's not made clear, but if you read back in the comment history that it'll be fixed when 1.9 data structure is implemented. We're in early snapshots for 1.9, so it's a bit early to expect this to be finished.

That being said, I have a host of bugs I have been watching, many over two years old, and I was told in several of those that they would be fixed in 1.8, and they weren't, and haven't had a mod or dev post on them since 1.8's release, so I wouldn't hold my breath.

I am not having this issue in 15w39c. It has plagued my game for every version in 1.8, but finally in 1.9 it is not happening anymore.

I also switched my video card from a GeForce 9500GT to a GeForce GTX 970. The GTX 970 still has the peony issue in 1.8.8, and I am unable to test how the 9500GT responds to 15w39c.

edit: the peony still appears in 15w39c when I remove the tall grass by placing a block where its base lies. Breaking the tall grass does not show the peony. I'd call it 90% fixed.

By now, it's actually quite funny how it switches from sunflower to peony and back again each new snapshot (it's just a minor aesthetic bug, not game hindering in any way), and I saw that Grum commented a while ago, so maybe until 1.10, he's just switching it as a joke XD.
