Entities become invisible after death & respawn

Confirmed for 1.8-pre1
Please reopen and retest with world file.

Confirmed for 1.8.

After further testing on qmagnet's world it seems that this even happens on 0 x 0.

It's not just item entities. While playing the Arena branch of @unknown's Diversity 2 in 1.8, I noticed that some of the mobs randomly turned invisible after a respawn. They would automatically reappear after a while, usually after already having attacked me.

Confirmed for pre3

In 1.8.1 Pre-4

Confirmed in 1.8.2 pre-3.

The problem also occurs, if you trigger a summon (item) command while dead. The items don't display visually but you can pick them up after respawn.

15w31C Unable to recreate.

Confirmed in 15w34d. Not on flatland though.

Should I rewrite the description for this bug? Originally it had to do with very specific coordinates. I tested my original world file, and the issue no longer exists (tested in 15w36d). But if people are having this bug at random locations, my description doesn't make sense.

If you can come up with a better/more general description and/or the current description is inaccurate, yes, please do!

Well, I haven't experience the bug since the previous fix. I am not sure how to reproduce it. I could just include the video.

It seems trivial for me to reproduce, I'll add in my way of reproducing and leave the link to your video at the end.

Perfect.

I can confirm this.

It happened to me when i loaded a fresh world, and died a few times (within 5 mins or so).
What happened was that I got killed by creepers and skeletons, without seeing them.
Edit: Entities became invisible after first death (following a new chunkrendering).

Note: Also, the game got extremely laggy after respawning.

EDIT: This time the game crashed after going to the main menu, and re entered the world. (only saw the background and then it froze, which never happened to me before).

Seems to have gotten worse in 1.9

As of somewhere in the 1.9 snapshots (week 35?) this happens to me 100% of the time for all entities within view radius. Thus I'm required to quit to main menu after EVERY death. I'm considering the snapshots completely unplayable until this is fixed.

Note: I'm using an Intel HD4000 video card. I hope it's not one of those intel-specific bugs.

EDIT: I can confim the other bug mentioned, that constantly having to quit to main menu and reload causes the world to fail to load every 3rd time or so. Specifically if a very short time elapses between reaching the main menu and reloading the world. Letting the game sit for an extra 10 seconds before hitting load seems to avoid the problem.

Confirmed for me, was creating a map, testing out mechanics I've re-made for skeletons, they vanished, etc

Confirmed in different test setup.

1) Create world (flat preset: void).
2) Spawn any mob (multiple mobs), and place any item(s).
3) Get killed (any kill).
4) (Click) respawn

All entities are invisible, incl. mobs.

confirmed in snapshot 15w38a.

confirmed in snapshot 15w38a

• note: items in inventory seem to load after a delay into your inventory slots after death.

Can confirm. I've had to quit multiple times after death as well.

Confirmed for me...my creepers disappeared ;-;

I tested on server with my friend, when he died, only he could not see entities He could not kill them but me i could.

Still happening in 15w38b..

Confirmed yet again for 15w38B

darn... the bug is still in 15w38b.

If you are a mod please tell mojang
to run a bunch of tests before actually
release a "official bug fix" as they failed
to actually fix the bug. They can't just make
assumptions that the bug is fixed when it
works the first time or even correcting the
error but NOT TESTING IT. They should
do lots of testing before releasing bug
fixes, as it's annoying for them not to test
it well, before releasing and what happens?
it's still in the game. I'm not trying to be a hater
or anything as I know that fixing bugs isn't easy
but that doesn't give them a excuse to assume it works
when testing it the first time. or not testing it at all by
doing a possible fix.

Mojang if you are reading this, I apologize in advance if this
was offensive, just that at least make sure the bug is fully fixed,
and tested properly before you do a release.

Brian,
These are snapshots. They aren't to be stable. I know it can be frustrating but you should not expect fixes until releases.
Demanding the devs in full caps to TEST the game, isn't really positive.
Second, this bug wasn't ever marked as fixed. So I'm not sure where your angst is coming from.

All you need to write here whether or not the bug exists in the version you are playing. Or provide some detail on causes.

This isn't limited to Superflat, in case that matters. Hard to believe that a bug like this appeared more than a year ago in snapshots and has either returned or still not been fixed...

It has been FIIIIIXXEEEDDD 😃

Something is wrong in this issue:

1) Status "fixed" is untrue, for the issue still exists in 15w38b.
2) "Future Version - 1.9+ ", don't make sense, for it's NOT fixed.

Situation:
Load new world > get killed > respawn.
Resulting in invisible mobs.

@Robin Hood, future version fix means that the issue has been addressed, but has not been pushed out yet. A future snapshot should have the fix included.

@Robin Hood it usually means it's fixed in the next snapshot 😉

@qmagnet, currently I'm working on a
a vanilla mini games server in the 1.9 snapshot. and certain
bugs can make testing my mini games difficult, which is where
my anger came from. But I admit, my comment was a bit harsh.
I have faith in the bug being fixed, and hope everyone's project
development can succeed further. Have a good day everyone!

This is a bugtracker and not a discussion board. Please do not discuss topics here that won't help us to find and fix bugs. Also, snapshots are not stable and reliable, they are incomplete, untested, in development, unstable and not optimized. Using them for anything you care about is a bad idea.

I'm still experiencing this in 39b...

@Ender Dragon, are you using the same steps as above, or something else to reproduce this?

Above.

Me too, still in 15w39b

Happening for me too using these steps:

1. Create superflat world
2. Pick block on grass
3. Dig a 2 blocks deep 1x1 hole
3. Jump inside the hole
4. /kill
5. Walk back to the hole, look inside it: No item.
6. Jump in the hole, you will pick up the item.

Confirmed (normal generated world).

Note: It appears items however seem to be visible (yet havnt tested all), but mobs are not.

Confirmed, bug still present in 15w39b. Items seem to remain visible.
Tested Painting, ItemFrame, EnderCrystal, Mob, Minecart all go invisible.

confirmed in 15w39b survival single player, new world, Windows 7 64 bit w/ 64 bit java, intel 2600k cpu, nvidia gtx 970 gpu.

the error from MC-65040 "Tried to add entity X with pending removal and duplicate UUID xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx" DID occur in the log, but not with regard to said invisible skeletons (it was about some villagers that were likely at the edge of loaded chunks I'd flown in render-range of)... and the above error was 6 minutes before the "was shot by a skeleton" death message that preceded my respawn and subsequent invisible skellies

I also noticed and tested, if you lure the invisible mob out of the chunk they went invisible in, they become visible again. I hope this is relevant and helps solve the issue.

Confirmed: 15w39c

Items and mobs dissapear.

OK I'm mucking about in the latest update. 15w39c still getting it. Died came back, this time it was cows and rabbits invisible in a pen but the chickens in the next pen were visible?????? Yep it's definitely more dangerous never even saw what killed me that time. Note the bunny dirt disturbance sprites look scary cool without a bunny.

probobly fixed for next snapshot as @unknown said on MC-65040

Fixed again (for the 3rd time, fixing a 4th bug in addition to the 3 bugs I already found last time), hopefully it's now solved completely.

i've seen this now a few times since using 15w50a

im noticing player entities becoming invisible, an having to use /kill in order to be able to see them in 15w50a

See MC-65040.
