Crash when attempting to do anything in worlds with the Caves & Cliffs option enabled

Note

As described by the title, this ticket is now being used to track crashes that occur when doing a number of actions in 1.17.10.20 Beta in a Caves & Cliffs-enabled world, including (but not limited to)

  • Moving

  • Breaking blocks

  • Killing mobs

  • Using throwables

Mojang is aware of this issue. We appreciate that you want to share more information to help solve it, but there is no need to say that you experience this issue or what seemed to cause the crash, as Mojang automatically receives a crash report every time a crash occurs, so they likely have enough information (together with this report) to work on a fix. Mojang will check in to ask for more info if they need to.

For now, you may choose not to play on the affected worlds for the time being. Please note that there is no way in-game to turn off the Caves & Cliffs experimental option, and doing so by other means is not supported and may cause serious issues with your world.

On a similar note, if you experience a crash in 1.16.221 Hotfix or subsequent versions where this issue will be fixed, there is no need to create a report unless you can reproduce the crash reliably (with reproduction steps).

Steps to reproduce (by breaking blocks)

  1. Create a world with the Caves & Cliffs option enabled with the seed -1602018465

  2. /tp 521 63 -570

  3. Break a sand block
    → ✔ No crash

  4. Break a grass block
    → ❌ Crashes immediately

Other information

  • This appears to affect blocks with the grass breaking sound (MCPE-128997). From other duplicate reports thus far, this has also been reported to affect dirt/grass, stone/cobblestone wall, pumpkins, bamboo, leaves and waterlogged stairs.

  • For breaking blocks, this may not affect Creative mode (MCPE-128997)

  • Does not seem to occur everywhere in the world, e.g., breaking grass blocks in the Taiga biome spawn using the seed stated above.

  • Crashes have also been reported to occur when attacking mobs/using items (e.g., throwing snowballs in MCPE-128958). This may have a similar root cause.

also occasionally crashing while mining dirt or stone, or during raids when attacking pillagers

Crashed for me when breaking trees (wood and leaves). These trees had been grown from saplings.

I have same issue also crashing when auto saving unless thats same time i am breaking brick or leaves. Also crashed when killing sheep too. 

Seems very lagy too. Never ever had any issue before 

I have not had issues when mining underground, I was mining for quite a long time, many autosaves.

Cannot break more than 2 blocks of wood if I get the first one without crashing.  I tried grass covered dirt and it crashes.

I have tried with multiple different items in hand as well as bare hand.

Forest biom.  

We are aware of this issue and the team is working on a fix. The crash seems to happen only when the Caves & Cliffs experimental toggle is enabled. For now, avoid playing in the beta while that toggle is enabled.

Happening to me on Android10.
Mostly it happens when I'm mining wood with bare hand in fresh survival world. When I'm mining wood and then touch the leaves without lifting finger, the game crashes. It's practically impossible to start fresh world in 1.17.10.20 with Caves & Cliffs enabled.
I hope this bug will not affect 1.17 full release, but it's too much game breaking.

This is not resolved.

Issue resolved for me have you updated the game?

No, I haven't. I've been checking the app store all day for the update, I guess its not available for my device yet? I know update day is usually Thursdays.

@unknown Sadly, this week's beta is not available for Android, however it will return next week.
