[MC-55833] Some sliders can be set to both 0% and OFF

The bug

In the options, percentage sliders can be set to both "0%" and "OFF".

How to reproduce

Navigate to your music and sounds settings
Drag any slider within the menu to the far left (the slider reads "OFF")
Drag the slider a tiny bit to the right (the slider reads "0%")

Expected behavior

Sliders would not be able to be set to both "0%" and "OFF". Instead, only one of the two values should be shown.

Your Java version is OUT OF DATE! Please update to the latest version, which can be found here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html

Sorry, i have the right java but i tried to fix my minecraft because the new java didn't work with it, but i had the 1.7.0.

kumasasa 2014-06-29T14:13:17Z

This is more a optical glitch due to the rounding of the volume display to zero decimal digits.
You've set the volume slider to something value between 0.00% and 0.49% which will be shown as 0% (whereas values from 0.50% to 1.49% will be shown as 1%)
This is unfixable.

Mikko Sipola 2014-07-05T12:44:30Z

Why unfixable?
It would be easy to fix that, by rounding the value and making IF statement.
if(Soundbar1.roundValue==0%) {
Soundbar1.value = 0%;
}

I also don't understand what the problem is...
Could you please reopen this?

Just make it so if the bar has a value of 0 to print OFF instead.

No, it's not just mods! You're wrong. It happens in Mojang's official version of Minecraft. Did you not read Kumasasa's comment above?

it should be clear from the context that he means Mijira moderators and not Minecraft modifications.

But maybe you've constructed that only for the sake of bashing him.

Is he aware that mod is not an official term for moderator? Have a look here: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/mod and it says that mod is an official abbreviation for moderate, modification, and modulo.

[[Mod] Kumasasa|https://bugs.mojang.com/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=kumasasa], a general question, aren't two duplicates enough to confirm it as community consensus? Or does someone has to confirm it in the comments?

Sanjiv Westbrook 2021-06-10T13:58:51Z

This is totally intentional, what if you wanted to mute the game?

Mr Ktoś 2021-06-23T07:18:43Z

If you set a slider to OFF, the sound/music stops playing completely and when you unmute it, it doesn't play again. If you set it to 0% it mutes, but when you unmute it continues playing

MMK21 2021-08-11T12:23:54Z

Affects 1.17.1

Avoma 2021-10-15T16:18:53Z

I am able to confirm this behavior in 21w41a. Here are some extra details regarding this problem.

The Bug:

Music and sound sliders can be set to both "0%" and "OFF".

Steps to Reproduce:

Navigate to your music and sounds settings.
Drag any slider within the menu to the far left and take note of how the slider reads "OFF".
Drag the slider a tiny bit to the right.
Take note as to whether or not music and sound sliders can be set to both "0%" and "OFF".

Observed Behavior:

Music and sound sliders can be set to both "0%" and "OFF".

Expected Behavior:

Music and sound sliders would not be able to be set to both "0%" and "OFF". Instead, only one of the two values should exist.

In 23w05a, this affects both the new "Glint Speed" and "Glint Strength" sliders.

EYAL5555 2023-09-16T10:14:01Z

It's the way the game is coded, when you set it very close to 0% its actually 0.x% and if x<5 it rounds up to 0%.
You can even still hear stuff if the slider is set to 0% but technically 0%<x<1%

I don't think it should be fixed, maybe just me but this makes more sense than making it say OFF or 1%

user-f2760 2023-09-16T12:28:04Z

All bugs are "the way the game is coded", and this can simply be resolved by making it always round up, or treat volume values as integers, not doubles/floats.

Mojang has already assigned a priority to this, so it's been triaged; meaning they're 99% likely to fix this.
