The bug
In survival mode only, you can't break placeable non-mob entities from the longest distance of which you are able to place them at a block.
Since these entities are similar to blocks, this inconsistency may confuse players not understanding the differences between blocks and entities.

Item Frames
Paintings
Leads
Armor Stands
End Crystals
Boats
Minecarts

Confirmed for 1.9-pre4

Still in 1.9.1-pre1

Still in 1.9.1-pre3

Still in 1.9.3-pre2

Confirmed for 1.12-pre5

Took a while to find it, but this is almost certainly caused by the fix to MC-76493.

That'll make this WAI.


Also, this issue was not caused by the fix of MC-76493. This has been in the game before that.

Should be reopened, see two previous comments.

Depending on the desired implementation, either this or MC-172289 should be marked as a duplicate of the other, or one should be closed as WAI - the fix for the two is the same since no other checks in the game discriminate between placeable non-mobs and mobs, only between entities and blocks for reach checks. See my comment on the other issue about that.

Can confirm in 1.19.4 Pre-release 1.

Can confirm in 24w03a
