This is definitely still happening in 1.4.5. I build "landing pads" for boats out of half-blocks, but for a long time now have received sometimes lots of damage or kills when the boat drifts from the water and drops the tiny distance onto the half-blocks.
Agreed. Still happening in 1.4.5. Built a boat dock from half slabs facing an ocean. (Half slab at bottom of first water source block so that boat drops from water onto half slab) Jumped in a boat about 10 blocks from half slabs. Starting riding towards half slabs at slow speed to test landing. Went over top of the half slabs for landing and insta killed with message saying hit the ground too hard.
@Daniel Barkalow: I took the liberty to include your explanation of this bug to the description of MC-881, hope you don't mind😉.
This bug has been around for a while. When you bob up and down in a boat, the game treats it as if you were falling the total distance you move downward, and the accumulated fall damage is only cleared if you exit the boat. If the boat runs aground in some fashion, the game acts as if you fell all that way. If you dig ditch next to a lake, you can get flowing water to dry land, and sitting in a boat in the lake and then going down the flowing water will probably kill you (without hurting the boat) at the end. The same thing applies to slabs next to water or pistons pushing up through water under your boat. Probably the game should resolve fall damage when you bob upward in water in a boat.
