Name Tags/XP Orbs/Splash Potions are angled in third-person mode

(Judging by the capes)

This needs to be reopened. Its a valid vanilla issue.

Make a new issue!

Someone tried that today. @Tails already marked it as a duplicate of this.

I'll reopen it if they can prove that it is vanilla. I see colored signs. 🙂

Okay, managed to "fix" this, but there is a good chance this isn't the proper/full fix, or can have side-effects.. But at least worlds didn't turn upside down and labels and XP orbs were showing correctly also in the second F5 mode. (and thus I'm quite certain that the XP orb's case is the same bug..)

Fix

RenderManager.cacheActiveRenderInfo(...)

...
    if (gameSettings.thirdPersonView == 2) {
        this.playerViewY += 180.0F;
        this.playerViewX *= -1; // FIX (added this line)
    }
    ...

My limited understanding of the bug is that the render code forgot to flip the vertical angle (for the "camera") and thus the labels and XP orbs were rendered as if the camera's position was mirrored along the horizontal plane.

Still happens in 1.7.4

Confirmed for 1.8. Particles are also affected while in mob camera view.

@@unknown: The latter is MC-46445 (different cause)

Confirmed for 1.8.2
